    Maybe you can try :

    1. Arcsaber 11 new color.
    2. Astrox 77 blue color.

    Had a tantrum 200ii, so I would say get a JS12N when they eventually come out. I've tried lots of new rackets yet I keep on going back to my JS12.

    Do you mean BS12N? JS12 is not as good as JS10, it is not stable and vibrating at high tension, I am selling mine and get a second T200 II.

    The new colour of JS12 that supposedly fixes the grommet issues. I actually prefer it. The power is easier for me. I've sold my T200ii.

    Grommets sinking issue remains with JS10Q and new JS12. sinking grammets + vibration + shaky frame is just too much for me, but JS10 old colour is really good. Victor will not care as long as people keep buying.

    Isn't the new JS12 is called JS12F and JS10 = JS10Q? If you refer to the new 2018 release JS12 new colour, you are going to be disappointed. Nothing's changed except the cosmetic, same old design, same old material, according to the intro video.

    They've said they've specifically fixed the grommet issue on one of the slide presentations for the new colour. It's in the JS12 thread. Please also note that I used the word supposedly as well, as I also believe that it's only proven once it's actually out.

    Here I found the link of someone mentioning this. (Thought I saw something more physical than this, but I can't be bothered to look any more)

    I've read most things about JS12. Not heard anyone complain about JS12F, but then again it won't be as popular racket as the normal one.

    You could try RKEP XP70, very good value for money. Similar in speed and feel to Victor BS/JS ranges. BS11 or BS LHI would be good for you but hard to find now.
