    I was looking at the Voltric 80 but it's WAY to expensive. Does anyone know an alternative Victor badminton racquet that is the same as the Voltric 80? With the power, control defense, timing, accuracy. And definately cheaper. All those things that is similar PLEASEEEE REPLY QUICK!!

    None of them are the same, but mx80 and mx70 are quite similar.
    (mx80's color tone is also very similar to vt80.)

    mx80 is head lighter but with stiffer shaft than vt80. It will be faster with a little bit less smash power.
    If you really want it to be a vt80 just put some lead tape on top of the head to add more weight to the head (and shaft will bend more).

    High end Victor racquets are not going to be a heck of a lot cheaper.

    LOL it'll be pretty funny to get an MX80 and then put lead tape on the 10 and 2 o'clock it might feel like a Voltric 80 xD

    The only Victor racket I've ever had where the weight is very obviously concentrated at 12 o'clock is my 4U SW310.

    Ya, it'll take 2 days before those links will have info. From experience, 2-3 days to Canada, 1 day for customs, 1 day for delivery. So 4-5 business days total. Meanwhile hang around BC forum to pass the time faster. :p

    Understandable. Maybe you can start a thread and ask others about the integrity and reputation of RKEP "Squash" Eric. Then perhaps your mom can be convinced that he is who he says he is. :)

    Victor Super Wave 35!!

    Not only it is cheaper than VT80, it is also cheaper the Victor MX version.

    It's extra stiff, head heavy(not as head heavy as VT80, but head heavier than MX80),very powerful for smashing, fast, agile, superb control and delicious solid feeling.

    Trust me, you won't regret buying this racket.

    Lol! Perhaps you could pm the administrator of BC, kwun, he can vouch for Eric. Now if there's one person you can trust is the admin of this forum right?

    But her concern is understandable. Even for myself 2 years ago, I started only buying stuff from eBay and amazon on items under $20, then slowly worked up the scale as I began to feel I could trust Internet sales.

    Email Eric at RKEP Eric <rkeptradingATgmail.com> and tell tim what you want, and where to send it. He'll send you an invoice via Paypal, you paid it, and a day or two later he'll send you a nice photo of the box and contents before it gets shipped. Sometime thereafter you'll get a box with your goodies in it.

    Eric is one of the best online traders I've ever dealt with, and I'm sure dozens of people here can vouch the same.

    I play with both the MX-80 and the VT-80 and the two racquets are nothing alike in terms of how they play. I haven't played with the SW-35 to any big degree and it was ages ago so I can't really remember how it would compare to the VT-80 but it might be worth checking out the SW.
