Victor New Thruster... TK9000

Ahhh need moar reviews.. Debating getting tk9000, mx90, or a jetspeed as my next racket.

Could anyone compare these with vt70 and 1st gen BS12?

 

looking forward to reading your review of this paul and how it compares to tk6000, your reviews are usually pretty spot on (for me anyway)!
been using a jjs but tend to use the tk6000 a lot more now as im getting old and it is less demanding so i get a lot less aches and pains!

 

What do you want to know?

 

How it compares to the 6000 really, ratings show the 2 to be similar if not the same but 9000 costs more. Is it more bang for more bucks or will it be just a better looking racket?

 

Btw, my tk6000 is a 4u

 

Both are nice looking racquets, I found the 9000 is slightly stiffer. Both are good tho.

 

All England would be a good place to launch (especially since Yonex's best effort will be "Z-Force II - this time... it's BLACK!").

 

I think there will be one on display. Ben advises TK9000 is stiffer than TK6000 so it's already looking extremely good in my eyes. By the way, we will receive 4U G5 too - just about perfect for me.

Whilst I'm waiting, I still have Jetspeeds to test plus the really nice TK7000S.

I thought we were only getting the 9000 in 3U... the plot thickens.

Already wondering which pros - if any - will be using it...

 

The Pros seem to favour Meteor, Jetspeed and Bravesword over Thrusters. This seems rather strange considering the Yonex sponsored pros there is a huge number of players using Voltric frames.

Reckon if the TK series r shaft stiff in that the Catapult Structure is removed, then maybe, just maybe, the Pros might favour them...

 

Maybe the Victor players can get power without having to use tall rackets....

 

Do u really care whether a pro use this racquet or not? I couldn't care less if a pro uses my chosen racquet or not.

 

Agreed...I wouldn't care much either but wouldn't it b nice to hear n a boost to self (idiosyncratic) ego if a Pro uses the same racket one is using ; )

 

Not really teddyc. Just looking down thinking "man this racquet is so sweet and sexy" is enough to make me play better.

 

I'm still confusing about head heavy in TK6000, TK8000, and TK9000.
Because Victor put HH TK8000 with 4/5.
But from measuring, TK6000, TK8000, and TK9000 are also same BP with 295-305.
Why both heavier than TK8000?

and if you have 2 or more rackets, can u explain about different of there all rackets.

I can't wait to try out my tk9000

 

Shin Baek Cheol dropped off half a dozen to us on Monday night. Strung at 32/33 - craziness.

GORGEOUS in real-life. The racket, that is.

 

I can't find any matches of Shin Baek Cheol using the tk9000 , no close-ups at least.

 

I guarantee you he was using the TK9000 at the All England as he was in our apartment with 5 of them! There was also a Taipei girl using it.
