    Hey guys, just busted my JS12's frame yesterday. I'm on the fence whether if I should be getting another JS12 because during the period I've been using it, I actually do enjoy playing with it, however it is on the pricier side over here so I don't think if I wanna risk again (iirc from reading the JS12's thread, the frames are not as solid?).

    Suggestions are welcomed: would be nice if I can get something that is as strong and maybe quicker (does it mean that I'll have to get a relatively stiffer racket?) if I end up not buying another JS12. Oh, also I'm more of a doubles person, loves intercepting and fast plays. Thanks everybody and have a great day!

    Highly recommend giving N9II a try. My favourite amongst the many that I own. Even my usual doubles partner has switch from his JS12 to N9II together with me.

    I would highly reccomend also APACS Tantrum 200 II. Absolutely more affordable than JS12 or some evil empire rackets but no doubt a high performance racket. It's my 3rd go-to racket:) You can buy it from Lazada malaysia for a mere RM250.00. It's a steal and I'm actually getting one again. With an APACS Virtuoso pro 68 string at 26lbs (now probably at 25lbs), I'm still amazed at how much this racket still excites me in most departments almost a year now since i bought it.

    I'm actually interested in the JS10 but have read that there's sunken frames issues and etc :(. If I'm buying yonex racket I might look at the nanorays, thanks!

    Is the n9 2 flexier than JS12? I've tried using one but it's been awhile so.. But thanks!

    Thanks again haha!

    Well if you like JS12, then I suggest the arcsaber11. It did suit me well.
    The Nanorays line are also good. I had great time with the NR900.
