Head injuries more likely...

quite expensive

Racquet feels great..good all around..so far i havent found the power vetter than my other victor racquets. It will probably become my go to.

$179USD is not bad. from local badminton stores in the bay area in california, high end rackets are all over $200USD.

179$ USD is a great price and it's a lot lower than the MAP... You will not find it cheaper.

Just couldn't resist and wait for the local shipment to arrive at the end of the month so I just ordered from MBS via EMS

Which will probably be cheaper than your local fare anyway

At least that's how it's gonna play out here....

From what I've heard from local distributors it'll actually be cheaper. But I just couldn't wait XD

Anyone else having trouble getting good power from this racquet?

**Ch1k0** · 02-14-2013, 08:40 PM

What was your go to racket before trying the thruster?

**jamaljenkins** · 02-14-2013, 09:45 PM

To people who has the racket atm:
How's the stiffness of the shaft? In comparison to BS09.

**tranqq** · 02-15-2013, 03:12 AM

I had been using the meteor 70 and jjs the most before getting this one

Similar to BS12

Ah that might explain it. Considering that it's shaft flex is really similar to the BS 12 you probably have to readjust your technique to more of a whipping style to get the power out of it. It's definitely not a racket for wrist smashing like the 70 and JJS

**tranqq** · 02-15-2013, 05:53 AM

Its really annoying..because for every other shot i find this racquet perfect..but i love smashing and want to get as much power as i can. It doesnt help that ive broken the strings 3 times alread and havent got any sustained use out of it haha. Ive never broken strings like this before..and im only stringing around 2526. I think the racquet is just crazy fast and with the flex im mis timing shots.
