    Orange string on JS10 :( Ouch, right in the eyeballs.

    Pretty tasty selection you have there.

    They ran out of other colors at that point of time. Would probably try lining no.1 in blue on it next, but at this moment, it's one of the lesser used racquets. N9II and bs12 are just so easy to play with.

    It's been about a year since I posted my badminton rackets, I sold a few but seem to acquire more than I sell/shift/break...lol.

    Ajay... crikey! You've broken considerably more rackets than I've owned in... ahem... many years.

    As to your usable ones, have you thought about an octopus as a testing partner? :eek:

    I won't bother posting my low-single-digits collection...

    HaHa, don't be intimidated, please feel free to post your rackets, everyone is different and I for one don't judge people on how many or few rackets they might have.

    I remember only a few years ago I had less than 6 rackets. It's only ballooned since I got my passion for playing and collecting.

    Kindest regards,

    Sorry to be a bit blunt with my response but I'd say don't bother really. Both sides would play just fine;)

    Cool collection you people have!

    My list includes :

    1. Yonex Z force 2 Lin Dan edition (recently sold)
    2. Yonex Voltric Tour 88
    3. Victor Bravesword 12
    4. Victor Jetspeed 12
    5. Victor Bravesword 15
    6. Muscle power 29
    7. Yonex Carbonex 6 super

    I am not that comfortable playing with Z force 2.. hence shifted to Victor racquets which i love. Does anyone else own/played with Bravesword 15? It is an amazzing racquet.. seemed to be faster in the air than BS12 or JS12 i felt... power too is incredible

    I wanted to own a JS10 as well but since it is a highly stiff racquet and I did not have a good experience playing with Z force 2, though tof not buying it.. wonder how JS10 plays in comparison to JS12

    Wasn't easy for me either. Trying to hunt down SW35s in this era of rackets. Locally at least.
