    Gotta agree. Where is this 50-80% figure coming from? Every source I ever had a KRP from the most I paid extra for was about 10-15USD over a regular one and as mikomi says you can actually possibly get them cheaper than the normal from shops in Taiwan if you're there.

    Just recently bought the BS12 Blue from yumo.ca. I love the racket so much, probably the most nice feeling I ever had out of the rackets I ever used!

    I bought a 4u b/c my other rackets are 3u and I wanted to try a new weight out. As a doubles player, playing 3u is pretty toll heavy on me. I like the 4u b/cs its lighter and faster to handle for me.

    hey guys and girls,

    coming from a vt70 and arcsaber 11 which i broke :( i want to switch to the bs 12.
    i mainly play double and mixed and i read some nice reviews on this racket.
    last week i had the chance to test the BS 12 BLUE. its a very nice and fast racket.

    Now i have seen that there is a BS 12 GREY VERSION called BS 12N?. Are there any differences between the versions?
    i read this thread and your opinions are different :(
    i dont like blue very much :O

    thanks for your help :)

    I have a 4U Blue and a 3U Grey. I don't really feel much different between them. But some say the Grey is slightly stiffer and a slight head heavier.

    I have both blue and grey BS12 3U. Grey is indeed slightly stiffer and head heavier.

    I've broken my blue. Question: What alternative can i find for similar specs with BS 12 Blue?

    The BS12 blue and BS12N grey are the same racquet. The only difference is the colour. What you're feeling is just the manufacturing differences.

    BS12 blue n BS12N r essentially the same. They have some notable differences though.

    One is tt they came off diff moulds. If u run ur finger along both sword head frames, u will find the edge of the blue sharper than the N version. It may translate to faster swing depending on ur swing technique. But downside is the blue is more prone to paint chip along tt edge if theres any clash.

    Second, I find the shaft of the N version slightly stiffer than the blue. IME, this translates to a more stable racket after each shot as I do find the blue a little wobbly.

    Hi guys, what is a reasonable price for a bs12 krp version. Could get one used (one chip) or a almost new one... I am offered 120€/150€. but idk how much value the krp adds in comparison to the standard one?

    In my eyes, it doesnt add much at all, so I'd only go 10€ higher than for a normal one in tje same condition
