i want to buy a Yonex Armotec 500 + string bg80. if i want a equal racket Victor, which model and string you suggest ? Tank you a lot !!!!
Super Nano 5. I was a huge fan of the AT 500s, swore by them, practically took the things to bed with me. When Victor sent me the Super Nano, it found it to be almost perfectly comparable and, in my opinion, even better than the AT! And you can still ue the bg80, although I just use bg65, for price sake.
They may not be comparable in price anymore. I bought my AT500s back when they were hot/new, and I never paid for the Super Nanos, so the price difference is probably about $40 or so now. But in that case, I'm sure the older Super Nanos are cheaper and quite comparable as well.
Try the Super Nano 5 on the Victor China website. You rarely find the Asian models on the European site. Generally the cheapest place for this brand is the Mattshop site in Taiwan. I don't know about prices in stores. Are you still in Asia?
Mattshop has four different Super Nanos for 2380 NTD, or approximately 55 euros. That is a great price but you need to sign up as a member with Mattshop. This is supposedly free but will no doubt require someone with Chinese skills. Incidentally, the Victor site includes a stiffness rating so if you're looking for a stiffer racquet, they say the Super Nano or the SN-3 or SN-6 are better. The other choice would be the Power Waves 11 for only slightly more money(65 euros at mattshop). The only one I've tried is the Super Nano, which is stiff and has all kinds of power. I definitely recommend it. The unfortunate thing with Victor is the pricing. It is so hard to tell what the top of the line is because the prices vary so much from market to market. So in Taiwan and Canada, the Super Nano is the cheapest and the Power Waves is more expensive(much more in the case of Canada) but in Korea, the Super Nano is much more expensive that the Power Waves. In bbeshop, the Power Waves is more expensive but the SN-6 is much cheaper than the other Super Nanos. Very confusing. Anyway, good luck with your racquet shopping.
i had bought Victor super nano pro 6 + BG80 25,5 lb tension, and is good..... all i buy for 47 euro. good racket tnk Massimo s
since when are rackets "way ahead" of each other, maybe in price and manufacturing year... other than that it's all personal preferences...
