i totally agree, that's why i bought the victor bravesword 160L for my girlfriend and she liked it because it's purple, and i put a victor overgrip which is also purple, and i strung it with bg85 in lavender, which is sorta purple. because she loves the way it looks, given that her favorite color is purple, she's been telling me how nice it feels to play with it and had forgotten how well she played when she was using my nanospeed 9000 S!!! and these two rackets are completely different. the bravesword160L is a bit head heavy with flexible shaft, the nanospeed9000S is head light with stiff shaft!!!! LOL
