So they assist you in the power department. Be it lifts, clear, smashes, it will be easy. However the swing speed will be slow. That is where Bravesword 12 excels. It is a good rackets for quick drives.

Joined: Feb 3, 2009 Messages: 465 Likes Received: 154 Location: france Back using these wonderful racquets after using mostly Li Ning’s (N9-2, N80-2, N80...). BS12 is clearly less powerful when smashing but offers effortless power when clearing. Noticed that when playing singles with it, no trouble being at the back court. Smash power is sufficient even if it’s not intended to rain down smashes like say N9-2. Playing doubles it’s hard to get outpaced when using this racquet, drives are lethal, defence top notch for a 3U racquet, attacking is better than racquets with same purpose (nanoray 750, nanoray 800, jetspeed 10...) Very happy with this racquet so i’m gonna stock up as i think newly released racquets don’t offer much better performance if any. Good thing with BS12 is that it’s remaining quite cheap Joined: Dec 24, 2017 Messages: 1,337 Likes Received: 565 Location: Somewhere Where do you get this quite cheap? :O btw, I'm not sure about the quality of these right now. Recently I got one and had to exchange it because a piece of paint chipped off as soon as I took it out of the bag. Then a month later, the frame cracked without clashing/mishit at the 4/8 o'clock position. I know, the strongest part cracked. It was still on its first string BG80P at 26lbs which was extremely conservative. I dunno if I was just unlucky or what..

Part of it is the frame shape, which is not as sturdy, mechanically speaking, as a box frame Joined: Dec 24, 2017 Messages: 1,337 Likes Received: 565 Location: Somewhere The meteors are much stronger from my experience. Had 2 for over 5yrs Joined: Jul 12, 2016 Messages: 62 Likes Received: 6 Location: Malaysia Must be unlucky. I bought 3 bs12; 1 3U, 2 4U. So far no problem even i stringed 28-30lbs.

Joined: Feb 3, 2009 Messages: 465 Likes Received: 154 Location: france Back playing with BS12, this racquet is truely a gem. Incredible maniability, very good control and powerful enough. In fact this racquet is really powerful for all strokes but smashs as it’s medium to stiff and really aerodynamic so it’s head weight is kinda neutralized. But clears including backhand ones are incredible. It pairs nicely with BG80 @ 12kg. Tried it with lots of different strings but none felt right to me, including BG66UM Joined: Feb 3, 2009 Messages: 465 Likes Received: 154 Location: france Oh I’m not saying the BS12 is head heavy, just that it’s head weight is neutralized by it’s aerodynamic qualities! And to me as it’s really fluid in the air it plays a little stiffer than racquets with similar balance / stiffness. Hope I’m clearer now Joined: Aug 12, 2010 Messages: 6,305 Likes Received: 1,571 Location: Germany
