    I guess the new one will be available in mid to end of march 2018 for Europe. IIRC the new Victor stuff for Europe came mostly out at that time, so we need to wait.

    sharing an update on my JS-12. 3rd string now. First one was on 27lbs (VS890) , the next 2 were 29lbs (VS890, BG80). Most of the grommets were yet to be replaced and I didn't use the Yonex continuous grommets. I did add thicker, so called flat head grommets only at the vulnerable positions as i wasn't too keen to add further weight to the racket. so far so good. According to my go to stringer, who happens to string for the Malaysian national team, for the JS12, you need to exercise extra precaution (like adding protection strips) if you're using thinner strings, especially the 0.62 ones. else, regular grommet changes should do the trick. So far so good on mine.. fingers crossed.

    I have 2 questions:
    1. Is this sinking Grommet thing solved now?!
    2. Does it play the same as the original?

    Does Victor actually SAY themselves that the sink problem is solved or do others hope it is solved?

    Victor said it on an expo. A BC user mentioned it. If they solved it, great.

    I don't have any problem with adding the M behind it. Makes it easy to seperate the S(sinking ship) and the M(maintain longer) ;)

    How does a 4U js12 compare to a 3U Arc11. I find my arc11 too heavy for me and planning to replace it with a 4U js12. I mainly play only MD btw.

    I have had JS12 3U, JS12 4U, ARC11 3U.

    Overall Speed JS12 4U >> ARC11 > JS12 3U
    Backcourt JS12 4U << ARC11 < JS12 3U
    Frontcourt JS12 4U = ARC11 > JS12 3U

    I feel in the swing JS12 3U is sluggish for defense when compared to the other two. But everytime I hit with JS12 3U it is solid and potent hit
