I saw the swing weight of JS S 12 II at racquetforce FB page. it is the same as JS S12M. BP is somewhat the same as well.
looks like a JS12 with added new tech?

In case anyone from Victor is following: If you guys do the same with a JS10 II, I will instantly jump back on the Victor train!I saw the swing weight of JS S 12 II at racquetforce FB page. it is the same as JS S12M. BP is somewhat the same as well.

Soooo.... they are reviving the Jetspeeds again?! Wow. Looks like the AuraSpeeds are selling really well. Not.

Just getting rid of the titanic frame would be a major improvement alone, don't you think? Apart from that, maybe add some solidity to the feel on impact would be nice.Besides a better QC control/eliminating sinking frame?
It's rather in between but in a weird place? In some ways the 70 is more unforgiving because of thicker shaft. But the 80B is stiffer IMO. But it does give a bit better under load because it has a thinner shaft. I rather hate it because of that. Just because it makes comparisons in the range confusing.I have a quick question for those who used the MX80B. I heard it was less stiff than an original MX 80, but does that mean it's equal in stiffness to something with a Victor 4/5 stiffness rating (like a MX 70)? I'm ordering a racket tomorrow and am trying to find the more flexible shaft between MX 70 and 80B.
Hi, what racquet are you using currently, still on the N9II?In case anyone from Victor is following: If you guys do the same with a JS10 II, I will instantly jump back on the Victor train!![]()
I’ve jumped to the Adidas Wucht P8 and I’m loving it. There is just something about compact heads and stiff shafts that gets me every time!Hi, what racquet are you using currently, still on the N9II?

The size of the head frame, is it small or standard?Just bought this beauty 2 days ago. First impression: the colour is beautiful and resemble combination of bs 12 and js 12. I happen to own js 12 oc and js 12M as well. So i write this review in comparison to those two. Mine was 4UG5 strung with bg 80 27 lbs.
The holding feel of this racket is very solid yet still felt very comfortable to swing
Lob : very solid and compact feel, the clear was effortless either forehand or backhand
Smash: the power was there, very accurate and clearly better than previous two. The feel was just amazing. You can still feel the slight head heavy feeling.
Drive : very fast, very stable (maybe due to the freecore tecnology?), much more manuevrable than the previous js 12
Defend: no problem at all, the manueverability make defence really effortless. The power to lift was there.
Net : due to compact and solid feeling, the net placement and tricky2 manuever was great.
In summary, i believe this js 12 II is an improvement from the previous js 12. Those who feel lack of power and speed from previous js 12, you will find it here. The most striking improvement from my view is the solid and compact feeling, the head heavyness is just ideal. You will enjoy every hit with this js. Also, I tested the 3u model which my friend have, we agree that 4u model is more enjoyable than the 3u. The power difference was just marginal but the feeling of compactness is no difference at al. However for you that really into power, 3u might be better choice..just might be![]()
I think Victor is doing exactly what you're saying, reintroducing JS12 with a new variant, new colour and fixed its problem. I bought a JS12 II strung with BG66 force @ 27lbs noticed no sinking frame issue yet, the frame seemed on par if not stronger than the 3U MYP JS12 that I owned. I would attest in my city at least, they have lost a lot of market to LiNing, Yonex and other lesser known brands. Unless Victor's newer models have done very well in China and Indonesia (largest markets for badminton equipment), there's no need for them to reintroduce the JS12.Honestly I don't know what they hope to achieve by doing this. The Auraspeed is supposed to supersede and replace the Jetspeed entirely yet they've done this? Might as well release the JS12 again with its excellent colour schene but fix all the problems instead IMO. They already tried to save it from further bad press with the 12M.
Maybe they're just losing money and market share to the excellent products of YY and LN in the last couple of years and feeling the pinch now.

I understand that they are using the same technologies but as you said, they are designed to be different kind of rackets. JS12 II still remained its old design (minus the plastic grip) and it performed better but very similar to its predecessors, so I would regard it as a refinement of JS12 II more than 9x which feels quite apart from each other. IF Victor came out with a DriveX9xs (stupid name I know) where its frame size is smaller and headlighter then I would definitely called it a refinement form the 9x. I would be interested to know if you have had different experience while comparing the JS12 II with older ones.No, It's is a refinement of DriveX 9X.
Only the frame is different.
Dx9x has a holding feel, and the initial shuttle speed is not very fast.
JS12ii improved this in the expense of smash power, yet the power is still good enough for a speed racket.
I think JS12ii is perfect in doubles for control players.
Every aspect is so good. Only the feel is not up to Japan rackets.
Speed / control / power are sitting there, nothing missing.
