    Hi All, surprised that no one has posted this yet. I just got my hands on the new version of BS12. Do not have many details about this but it has the 55th wording on it, maybe a 55th anniversary edition. Really excited that Victor revived BS12

    Wow nice! BS12 with Freecore?! Did you get 3u or 4u? Please let us know how it feels once you play with it.

    this is hands down one of the best looking racket I've ever seen. I doubt the "non-limited" version of the new bs12 will look this good tho sad.

    Victors rackets have SGX, MYX, TWX, CNX, KRX engraved on their shaft based on where they're distributed. It's almost impossible to have no code on the shaft.

    Yup I know but these could be samples so they are not coded.

    At first when I saw New BS12 "color" I was just rolling my eyes thinking Victor is just trolling us........But freecore + hardcore tech, maybe a thinner shaft :O I'm smiling atm.

    I'm guessing it'll be around 210-230 usd. Considering the 30-40% increase of previous high end rackets and current ones.

    Could be. But looking at all the details and authentication sticker and the quality of the racket. It looks 99% authentic and I bought a few fakes before and this feels nothing like a fake racket.

    Seeing this reminds me of the bittersweet memory with BS LHI that I like & regretted for not buying. Will definitely keep an eye on this.

    People on BadmintonCN mentoined it is actually called Bravesword 12 SE (special edition) as you can see on the shaft.

    It is supposed to be a racket celebrating Victor's 55th anniversary and will be available as a gift box edition while the MSRP is supposed to be 1680 CNY/235 USD/240EUR with a release in Q1 2023.

    Seems it will br available as 3u and 4u versions.

    But all rumors from what I could tell so far.
