    yea like Kel said, new batch of BS12 or 12N are all made in China (factory in Nanjing)

    but "Made in XXX" doesnt guarantee its genuine though, its 2 diff things =)

    anyways, 12 blue has stop production, so grab it while it is still selling !

    Ty Junclot bro! I'm quite pleased with my 3U BS12 so far. Am looking to get my hands on a 4U JS10 instead. Was at Mr-C Sports micro outlet in Phuket earlier but too bad they ran out of stock on JS10. :mad:

    They have JS YYS though n the price is similar to what they posted online. At 4,100 baht with free string (choice of BG 66UM or others) n free grip, it seems quite a good deal.. But didn't buy eventually as I thought it would be quite similar to my BS12. If only they have JS10 that I was ready to pick one up...

    i did dry swing with JS10 4U, slightly heavier stiffer and considerably faster than BS12 sia.... it feels like a BS12 3U to me

    i think if switch between the 2 might mistime hits haha

    i thk YYS safer....spare racket muz be similar ma

    spare racket muz be similar... So based on ur recommendation:

    BS12 4U = JS YYS 4U as spare racket

    BS12 3U = JS10 4U as spare racket (since it feels like a BS12 3U)

    so I'm looking in the correct direction for a spare? :)

    I know it likely well discussed, but I don't seems to find what is the going price of a KRP version BS12. Anyone could shed some light, I am interested to know what a KRP version would worth. thanks

    If I am not wrong : BS 12 3U is equal to Jetspeed YYS 3U , in term of spec. head balance and stiffness.

    At the moment, there are several BS12 3U AU Code but KRP Code specs rackets around, for instance here
    http://2bsports.com.au/product/victor-bravesword-12-blue-krp-code/

    They claim that it has a AU code on it, but is actually a racket with KRP Code specifications due to a mistake in the factory. Does anyone has information if this is true or just trolling?

    I have seen this on several stores in Australia, but also on ebay and private sellers.

    Hello guys! I'm interested in the BS12. Can somebody explain the variations and differences between the BS12 rackets and what is so special about the KRP coded one?

    KRP coded BS12 is a bit stiffer and a bit head heavier. But not worth to pay like 50%-80% more for it. KRP coded rackets are not miracle rackets or something.

    Where are people buying the racquets from that they cost >50% more than the normal version? @_@ I paid $6 USD less for it than the normal version, that's they only reason why I bought it. It was a shop in Taichung 2 years ago.
