    So is the TK6000 rank at the head heaviest racket in Victor line?

    TK6000 is currently the heaviest head in Victor range although you won't beleive it if you buy 4U version.

    Paul, I read you review on TK6000 and it seems to be an awesome racket. I'm a head heavy racket user hence I'm currently wielding the VTZF 4u. I'm trying to look for a spare racket (must be head heavy). Do you think TK6000 is a wise choice? How would you compare these two rackets?

    Glad to hear that high tension didn't ruin it for you:).

    This is great news; the AT600 has always been my absolute favourite racket (why did you have to break!?) so this looks like it could be really fun to play with. I may hold out to see if a 4U TK9000 is released though, here's hoping that Victor can take the 4U/head heavy/mid flex formula another step further.

    I think they need to consider a stiffer shaft, say 4/5 shaft with the same head weight - now that could be even better.


    I tested 3U Z Force and it felt so heavy. Sadly I cannot test a 4U version and therefore cannot comment how TK6000 will play against it although would expect it to be more forgiving because of the mid flex shaft rather than super stiff. Also I think it would suit more players as there's not many who can use a super stiff shaft - you either love em or hate em.

    Sorry to say TK9000 has same specs as TK6000 which i don't understand, unless there's been a mis-print, or something else is happening with the racket.

    We are due TK9000 early 2014 so it's unlikely I can add to what I know until I receive a sample.

    Paul, I asked the supplier in Belgium for the K6000 and they said that it won't be available in Belgium until may 2014

    That would be the Legend II though it is only available in China (including HK).

    Two Victor rackets having the same ratings can play very different...

    I assume any rackets arriving in Belgium will go through Victor Europe.

    Victor Europe have already sold out of their first stocks of TK6000 and are waiting on new stock arriving soon.

    I cannot accept a May delivery - they must be incorrect. If you can't buy in Belgium then why not purchase from another country?

    JJS is a marvelous racquet, hopefully the TK6000 is even better!

    Anyone know if this have or will come to Canada? Specifically Western Canada lol

    So you're saying to buy both! They are the same price at my local store and hard to choose. The 4U TK6000 needs to be ordered though, only 3U in stock.

    After reading Paul's interesting review, make me got some attention about this racket.
    After some google search, I also find a detail review about this racket from China.
    However the review is written in Chinese, here is the google translated version. :)

    PS: Reading google translate is fun :p
    Lofty Goals -> Clear
    To kill the ball -> Smash :D
    Level pumping fast gear -> Fast, flat rallies and Drives
    Pick the ball -> Lifting

    "Hand TK6000, you're on the court death"

    OK - this is the best sentence ever.

    HAHA, Funny Google Translate :D
    It should be "Grip the TK6000, you're the God of Death on the court"
