Hmm they are different due to the different BPs, sorry that I didn't play much with the ARc 10. The thing is, the BS11 feels pretty different due to the aero head, I can swing much faster with the BS11 but when holding you won't really noticed until you make swings. At first my timing was WAY off b/c I was swing too early. hope you know what I mean.
The reason i asked is, different brands with refer there shaft stiffness independantly to other brands. i love the arc 10 stiffness on the shaft and was curious which bravesword had the closest shaft to the arc 10. thanks regardless. will have to make the choice based on the information you have supplied.
I can, which method do you use to measure the BP? hehe some people measure it differently, just let me know how you measure yours and I'll do the same.
Well, basically, I use a very unscientific way of giving me a rough BP for a racket, what I do, is I measure from the end of the handle, to where the racket balances evenly on each side, then get a ruler, and measure where it was balanced evenly and that gives you a rough BP. Sorry for the complicated explanation. The higher the number, the more head heavy the racket is
reason I am asking about the BS10 & 11 is cause I might be getting 2 soon, so need to find out which is more head heavier.
Got cha, ok well the problem now lies in how much you build up your grips, all of my grips are built up with 2 or 3 wraps on top of stock. My BP measurements are pretty much the same with both probably due to the amount of overgripping I do. They are 285-287 +/- mm, same goes for my BS08
cool, thanks for the info, I usually remove the original grip and replace with towel grip OR keep original grip and put on a thin overgrip. I estimate that without any overgrip an just with original grip, the rackets will be about 300mm. Is the BS10 stiffer than the 11 ? I think this will determine which I get
Some say it will get to 300mm but that would be only if you don't have much grip build up. As I've said, the BS10 is def stiffer than the BS11, not saying MP88 vs MP99 difference but you can tell right away the BS10 is STIFF. I also have a W7, but its not a good comparison because the W7 weighs more. The swing speed is dramatically different.
hmm.. i also wrap take original off... however, its the bp that interests me, but the shaft differences, as that seems all that seperates the two braveswords
LD rules.... i was pending more to the 10, however im still searching to get more of a general idea of which i prefer... what happened to the 2 n90II?
I emailed Victor, about possible sponsorship, and they replied back saying they wouldnt mind sponsoring me, and that now i am entitled to a discount on all tor products. Which means i thought i would pict a new racket x2
oic. congrats on the discount... they also sponsor my uni team, however, they only have g3 i think... no good to me as i prefer g4
Ah, but Victor UK prices are quite reasonable, and that is before discount. £90 for BS09 before discount
But BS09 is the cheapest of the three isn't it ... ? BS08 RRP was ~€200 I see in the catalogue. UK prices are indeed more reasonable. RRP of 110GBP for BS10, euro prices should be around €200 again (RRP). edit: BS11 €209 vs 120GBP ; BS10€179 vs 110GBP ; BS09 €149 vs 100GBP RRP Hurray for the weak pound !
My opinion , u must possess a really strong arm to handle the BS 10 . Without a strong arm , u cannot maximise the power of the BS 10 . BS 10 is a control racket , they dun have that natural power like Ti-10 , AT-900 or things like that . If u are that sort of power smasher type of player , BS -10 suit you fine . I always imagine , if Fu Haifeng used this racket , his defensive game will improve further . Now u know why Lee Yong Dae defensive quality is so damn good ? The BS -10 factors do a part . And of course that match perfectly with his talent . This racket i got a feeling is made for him .
