    I don't get it. I love the way my JS12 are looking. And this paintjob seems the be rather boring. :(

    I wish it was the new js10 paint job. I quite like it, unlike the actual new js10.

    Hope it isn't merely just a repaint but the frame is now more study/ sinking grommet fixed, would love to get a new one after my previous one broke.

    seconded.. in the meantime, we'll just have to settle for the ZFII continuous grommets..

    Hello, how is the stiffness compared to an Arc 11 ? More or less stiff ?

    Thanks.

    This was partly addressed at the Expo! The JS12 is not just repaint but an improvement racquet that fixes the "caving in" (translated from original source) issue of the original JS12. Though we'll still have to wait and see how this turns out.

    Hear, hear!
    So that must be the first time that Victor admits the existence of the sunken or caved-in holes issue at all. I wonder if they have also done some improvements on the new hubba-bubba colored JS10.

    They should fix the 900 too.

    ouch, they admitted that the frames sink around the grommets? That can't be good for business.

    At least they acknowledged the problem. Keeping quiet about it would probably piss more folks off.

    Yes, of course. For what it's worth I've had 2 JS10, 3 Hx800P, 2 Js12 and I've strung a number of HX800 and loads of the listed racquets strung from 22-32lb and not really seen any issues.

    I can't comment on the HX800s but every JS10 produced from 2015-now and every JS12 produced 2016-now that I have bought, have shown the exact same issues. So I can't say I have simply a sample set of just 1. That's 8 rackets over 2 whole years exhibiting the exact same issues all within the 1st year of purchase and 4 string jobs max. Granted I do break warranty. But I don't see my BS12s and MX80s behaving that way. And they've been with me since 2011.

    Yeah, I only keep mine for a season so I know know in the short term. I lost 2 out of 3 800P due to clashes. At 30lb and being a left hander, not many racquets would survive.

    I'm currently trying another brand that I have a trade account with so there may be a switch.

    Saw the 3U sample at my local distributor's shop. It's pretty. The shaft wording and accents are a lovely shade of pink that complements the blue. Sort of like how the pink and black combo of the N9II works so well. Otherwise, nothing else has changed really.

    So, where and when can we/I buy the new blue Jetspeed 12 in 3U in Europe? And did they fix the quality issues? Would like to know...
