I would say Im intermediate/advance player. I both both singles and doubles (singles for tournaments/high performance classes at my badminton center, and doubles for my school team). Im new to victor rackets and these 2 rackets stuck out for me. In doubles im a hard hitter at the back and i like to be quick in the front and i love to just kill it when i have the chance. In singles i like to wait for my opponent to make mistakes, my net play is decent but my shots are strong and decently accurate. I'm not sure how head heavy mx90 is, so which 1 is better suited for my play style?
mx90 is a very good racket. It's the kind of racket that is very easy to use, and still gives a lot of power and control. It's got a very good balance and stiffness for defense and offense. bs12 I've got much less experience with, but for my preference it's not as ideal. I would say for doubles you may very well prefer the mx90. I believe it to be the racket that would facilitate your harder hitting, and killing shouldn't be an issue dependent upon a racket. They're both very good rackets, and you may prefer the bs12, but I would say that the mx90 is the racket I would recommend as a blanket statement to everyone.
For me it is still 2 different rackets. Both have their own characteristics. BS12 is fast, responsive but not as head heavy as the MX90. You may find your playing style more faster especially in defends (return smashes). Just my opinion.
If you're really that good, BS12 would not be right for you, as you'll easily overpower the flexy shaft.
i have gotten the enlightenment from this thread that the following players are actually not 'that good' after all: - Sung Ji Hyun - Yoo Yeon Seong - Lee Yong Dae - Ko Sung Hyun - Tontowi Ahmad - Kim Ha Na - Jung Kyung Eun - Lee Sheng Mu - Jang Ye Na Perhaps you can start with what rackets are you playing with comfortably now. If you want speed and ease of use, gotta be BS12. If you want more solidness, control, feel and accuracy, MX90. Both are good for doubles. MX90 slightly more suited for singles than BS12 in my opinion due to solidness and control. But that is just me, there are top pros playing singles with BS12 which i can't exactly fathom but they are pros. Power wise depends on the your playing and swing style. Not trying to deviate too much from your current go to racket. Speed: BS12 > MX90 Defense: BS12 > MX90 Ease of use [Less demanding]: BS12 > MX90 Control: MX90 > BS12 Feel: MX90 > BS12 Flex [Most solid]: MX90 > BS12 Head heaviness [Most head heavy]: MX90 > BS12
Lol... You think those "not that good" pros actually used regular BS12 that you and I can buy off the shelf?
