    I have a chance of obtaining either the Brave Sword Lee Hyun Il or the Meteor Jung-Jae Sung. My current racket is the Arcsaber Z-Slash I would like something with the same type of shaft. Thanks in advance. I play singles but will be playing doubles very soon, I'm a very attacking player as well. Thanks in advance.

    If really have to choose among the two I'll take jjs ba. But I think it will be better if you can consider other choices.

    If you really want to give these rackets and other Victor rackets a try come to George Brown College Badminton club or the Ryerson Badminton Club downtown. You can PM me for details.

    Otherwise, if you're playing the Bujak Tournament at the new Markham Pan-Am Center Easter long weekend i'll be around.

    In my bag now: JJS, BS09N, BSLHI, TK9000 (All 3U)...and if Canada Post is true with their expected delivery date, then I'll have a 4U JS10 Friday.

    I find the JJS more all around for my style of play plus I use it for both singles and doubles. Has better pop compared to the LHI. LHI is a bit more maneurable. The head coach of the York University badminton team is a big fan of the LHI if you want his opinion.
    There are Li-Ning

    I had a quick go side by side, both 4u. Speed and stiffness very similar but jjs was more stable and Consistent when it came to power and accuracy. Longer shaft on the lhi.

    Haven't tried the JS10, but of the two you listed I prefer the LHI. I mostly play doubles, so the frame is really helpful on drives and defense.

    Neither the BSLHI or the JJS will give you the same stiffness as the ArcZS. The JJS has the more solid and stable head but is much stiffer than the ArcZS.

    The BSLHI is a little stiffer than the ZS but is just as fast. Balance wise, the JJS is closer to the ZS than the BSLHI.

    I used to play with the ArcZS and it is a very unique racquet. It has a very unique punch and there is nothing I have come a cross that gives the same feel. But having moved to the BS racquets, the one I personally prefer is the BSLHI. It is my current favourite racquet.

    If you prefer a similar shaft stiffness I would suggest the BS12 or BS12N.

    Hey guys so the range has opened up to either the Jetspeed 8PS or the Jetspeed 9! what would feel the same compared to Z-slash out of those two?

    None, the Jetspeed line has, except for the JS10, the long handle + short shaft combination that is completely different from the extra long shaft of the Z-slash
