Interesting, the spiralwind is very similar to Head's Power Helix : http://www.head.com/badminton/racquets.php?region=eu&tag=power_helix
it seems rather similar to the Explorer series... http://www.victorsport.com.cn/productlist.asp?id=645&class=1
According to the Victor website, this model will be released in March 2010. More photos from http://www.victorsport.com.cn 细节图片: 拍框细节 中杆细节
Oh ya paiseh, just read the chinese description, the square head design does enlarge sweet spot by 10%. Any further review for this racket?
haha at first glance, the circle beside the words "aerodynamic frame" looks like a smiley face... haha the head of the racket is too squared... looks kinda weird and judging by the pictures, the shaft doesn't look that much slimmer i'd definitely love to see this in person though... but for now, i'll stick to my bs11
This is going to be a hammer.. head heavy and very stiff.. P/S this is my first post for the new BC look
from specs I saw online, it rated it as very stiff ( on par or even stiffer than SW35) and head heavier than SW35. So from that, it looks like a hammer. BUT, it mentions it has an aerodynamic frame so who knows lol
The shaft on this is simply a filament wound design. Nothing particularly amazing.....I thought all badminton racket shafts were made like this.
I thought there is a spiral/helix structure inside the shaft and that's what make it unique. I think the idea is that the structure stores energy and will release the energy when it flex and straightens. Head Helix should also be using similar technology.
Release date for this racquet is August 2010 alongside new BS. Whether that will change or differ in other countries I don't know. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
