    While i can't refer it to the Duoforce, i can say that the frame size of the JS10 is actually the same as my Forza rackets, which surprises me quite a bit.

    From my experience, while i did find some timing issue, it feels easier to get used to compared to the BS LYD which i have tried earlier..

    At least, for me.

    No timing issues for me with the JS10 - unlike the first time I tried an ArcZS.

    I'm coming from a BSLHI/11 which has almost the same size head as a JS10. Although it has been advertised as a compact head, there really isn't that much difference - almost none compared to my BSLHI.

    I still prefer the BS11 over JS10. What about you?

    Yes, I do too - only just. IMO the BS11/LHI gives better feel than the JS10 and are faster.

    But I have yet to try the JS10 with my preferred string and tension (VS890@33lb) though.

    You are right on the better feel. I couldn't give up on my BS11 because of that too. I can feel where the birdies are going when it hits the string bed especially for drop shots and net shots. I have tried the JS10 for a game and went back to BS11. I'm not sure whether I can get that feeling after using the JS10 extensively. No doubt the JS10 is more powerful in smashing. But I wouldn't want to sacrifice that feeling just for more powerful smash. The JS10 is still kept in my bag after having it for a month or so.

    Can't say I blame you lads. Even with the 3U JS10 I still look backwards for the BS rackets. They're just a more familiar and comfortable platform to me.

    Not sure whether to classify the purchase as impulsive. So many good reviews in BC just tempted me to give it a try. But it's simply not as good as the BS11 at least for me. I will try to give it some more games to see how it goes.

    JS10 is probably too stiff for you. In that case there's the HX800 which, like BS11, is less stiff and head heavier. Another impulsive buy waiting for you right there. :)

    Hmm... I honestly don't find the JS10 any stiffer than the BS11. It might flex in a slightly different way, but it isn't stiffer. I would still rate it 4/5 stiffness on the old scale.

    I don't find the stiffness of JS10 unmanageable. It is indeed stiffer than BS11 but not by far. It is the feel that I couldn't get from JS10. No more impulsive buy for the time being since I have just gotten 3 rackets at one go. The other two rackets are TK9900 and MX60.

    I've been playing with the BS12 for 2 years now ! I bought myself a JS-10 4U and found it too light although i like the swing and everything it gives me...Will be testing on the 3U later this week hopefully it will make me happier !

    Did you manage to hit shuttles and play games with it, or only dry swing it?

    4 weeks in I'm loving the JS10, it didn't take too long to get used to but I have found my defensive play and reaction shots have greatly improved, when I get my timing right it also gives me a good smash

    This is comparing it to my following recent rackets
    Adidas Duofocrce
    Adidas AdiZero Pro
    Victor MX60

    Hi! I have the same question, I adore my BS12, but just out of curiosity want to try JS10
    Are they very different?

    1. We have ONE Jetspeed 10 thread!!! full of reviews and discussions. So this one is not necessary. [MENTION=116757]tamilsindhu[/MENTION]

    2. We have a buy/sell section, so if you want to sell your rackets, open a thread there. [MENTION=100456]flogge20[/MENTION]

    3. If you have a question about how JS10 compares to any other racket, you can post it in the Recommendation/Comparison section.

    Generally first browse the forum, before you open a thread. Thanks. [MENTION=7]Cheung[/MENTION] Please close/delete this thread. ;)

    Hi [MENTION=80807]basingcraig[/MENTION],

    Do you mind to give a brief comparison between JS10 and adizero pro?
    Like which one is faster? Does the speed differ a lot?
    How about the power in smashing?
    Which one is stiffer?

    The JS10 is stiffer and heavier, despite this to me it swings faster, smashing was my biggest problem with the AdiZero and the JS10 has much more power
