    Hi guys,

    I'm thinking about trying out a Victor racket for the first time after playing mostly with Apacs and Panda Power rackets for the last couple of years.

    I'm currently oscillating between my old Apacs Tantrum 300 (when I want more power in the back court) and my Panda Power PPV2 (when I want quicker defence, net play and drives).

    I'm playing competitively, mostly doubles and mixed doubles, being pretty aggressive and especially effective playing in the back court. I'm playing singles once every couple of weeks just for fun.

    Having shopped a bit for prices, read a couple reviews, I'm considering the Brave Sword 12n, the Brave Sword 15 and the Meteor X-JJS. I'm also open to suggestions of other models or brands.

    Let me know what you guys think! Thanks a lot!

    I think that you will be happy with a 3U MXJJS. A gorgeous racket. Slightly head heavy and stiff. The frame is really quick and stable as ****.

    I'll be adding the Brave Sword 15 to the list, since I can have a good price on it.
    Also willing to consider other/newer Apacs models.

    If you can, make sure you try to demo a JS10 first.

    Considered it, but too pricey for me.

    Where would you recommend me to purchase Victor racquets from Canada?

    Thanks!
