My current racket is Ashaway (forgot model, not popular). It's even balanced, light and very-very fast. In one word, Ashaway quicker than fast XP-70. Also I like Nanoray 750. For me it's very-very accurate. And now i'm thinking about something new. Except BS-12 I have no idea. I will be glad to any recommendations. p.s I playing mostly doubles.
The usuals are: Jetspeed 10 for speed. Jetspeed 12 for slightly slower, but more power. It sort of looks like you've came from the triotec frame and the jetspeed are closer to it than the bravesword. Or you can look into the hypernano 800 Ltd series, which gets a few mentions. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
Triotec frame? Similar to XP70? Gosen Gungnir Alpha is my go to currently after playing XP70. Highly recommended.
I played a lot of Nanoray series, maybe incl. 900. I will try once again if I see it at somebody. And what difference with XP-70 or Jetspeed? For me XP-70 a bit of heavy for doubles. Btw I have more chances to try Victor than Apacs.
Read my review on the BC front page. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/bc/2016/01/19/gosen-gungnir-alpha-and-beta-review/ 83g, bp 293mm, 680mm length! Perfect for fast doubles. Lighter, faster and I'd say even more powerful than XP70.
