Soooo.... they are reviving the Jetspeeds again?! Wow. Looks like the AuraSpeeds are selling really well. Not.
They released new Braveswords years after the Jetspeeds were out? Hm... I can’t recall an example tbh. But it’s been a long and very hot day, so I wouldn’t rely on my brain too much right now.
Okay, so these were more like some exotic rackets. Doing a big release for an official successor for such a successful racket as the JS12 is on another level if you ask me. IMO they are trying to re-vive on of their final cash-cows they had in the line-up. Will be interesting to see if that is just a one-time test balloon or if this is the beginning of an adjusted product strategy. I mean... I wasn't alone in thinking that they should have just made the Jetspeeds more robust in terms of sinking and adding some of their latest techs and they would have been great rackets. It's safe to say that the answer will be "No". She has used box-frame Thrusters for ages and ages and they have made her her signature TK-FC (we still don't know for sure if it isn't a good old TK7000SN that is hiding underneath the white coating) . No way she will switch to a Jetspeed. Apart from that, I think it's a great move for Victor to finally get the sponsoring for the Chinese Taipei team. Going back to basics is always a good start if you want to consolidate a strategy and get yourself back up from the floor.
Another JS 12. Jetspeed 12 TD. Same colors of the oroginal JS12. But only 27lbs for 3U. Photo by Kin Yee Sports
it's such an awful timing for victor that sukamuljo and gideon left for yonex as soon as they started to hit their primes. I'm sure JS12 would have sold even more if kevin was winning with it
IMO it's an awful thing that people buy rackets because their idols use them. Any racket can be a decent and good performing one regardless if any Top 10 player use it.
Yes it's awful some people choose their rackets solely because of of their idols is using it. But i think there is nothing wrong if it will be one of your basis in choosing, even if there are some difference with the player version and the commercial version, i think it means that these rackets can pass the standards of these players and also you can make a reference with there playing style if it somehow similar with yours.
New Drivex 8k, racquetforce has details of swing weight and balance point, reminds me of the tk9900 Made in China
Hi Guys, its been a long time. Looking to play again. Any victor racket similar to BS12 or BS LYD2 (both broken years back) that is available now in 2020? Used it last time both suitable for me. Thanks.
Auraspeed 90s is a good alrounder, not too stiff if you liked bs12. if your looking for something with more head weight then have a look at auraspeed 90k which would be more like bs lyd.
Bought JS12 II already. It's based on the success of Dx9x. The frame refined the instantaneous shuttle speed of Dx9x. JS12 II altered the design to be a typical speed racket. The accuracy is still there. I'll be testing the power today.
success of 9x? what it would be? but yea it is obvious that is a bit more sharp drive 9x and more flexy... 3u one would be interesting, if it is not like drive ones - 86g max with bp of around 300
