The Victor Brave Sword 12 SE celebrates Victor's 55th anniversary with a modern update of one of its best-selling rackets ever, finished in blue, white and gold. It keeps the quick, aerodynamic Sword frame that made the original famous, while bringing in newer materials and handle technology.
Compared with the classic Brave Sword 12, the SE moves to a slimmer 6.8mm shaft, adds PYROFIL carbon fibre and Hard Cored Technology, and uses Victor's Free Core handle. Some players find the lighter handle makes it feel slightly more head-weighted than the original.
Sword Frame — A diamond-shaped frame cross-section that slices through the air with less drag, for noticeably faster swing speed.
Nano TEC — Nano-sized particles fill the gaps between carbon fibre bundles, increasing overall stiffness of the composite and reducing frame distortion.
PYROFIL — A high-performance Japanese carbon fibre composite that is light yet strong, offering good shock absorption and improved control.
Hard Cored Technology — A multi-layered carbon fibre and composite structure, inspired by military helicopter design, that keeps material bulk down while reinforcing handling and feel.
Free Core Handle — A computer-designed handle made from nano-nylon material and moulding techniques, giving a more comfortable hold and smoother, freer swings.
The Brave Sword 12 SE suits intermediate to advanced players who want a fast, versatile racket with a bit more modern feel than the original. The Sword frame keeps it quick in defence and drives, while the slightly stiffer, slimmer shaft rewards clean technique. Fans of the classic Brave Sword will also appreciate it as a collectable anniversary edition.
Best for: All-round and speed-focused players, doubles players, and Brave Sword fans looking for the anniversary edition.
