    catapult - The one ancient time used for shooting bird.
    structure - organized
    force - your translation is right
    ditch - sharp

    you mean, Japanese people are using Victor?
    Yes, because Victor Japan was established since 2011.
    but maybe user population is less than 5% now.

    For example..


    M-X80
    Proper Price 21,000yen in Japan.
    But Japanese net shop price is usually 30% discount.


    So 21,000yen is always around 14,700yen without shipping.
    national shipping is about 750yen.


    too expensive?
    How about other country prices?

    I never own this racket. I think it will take some time to adjust the catapult technology. Just look at Ko Sung Hyun play, his smash is not great and sharp as JJS. Normally quite flat too. Me too waiting for someone review at here.

    LoL. I find it pretty funny how many get confused by JJS's high jumps - he did NOT get great angles. He got good ones, but he was just too small to get the same steep angles Ko often gets. Not saying either one is better or worse, but it gets annoying that ppl put Jung on a pedestal and criticize Ko without reason (his smash is definitely nothing to laugh at or criticize).

    For those who feel the TK8000 is not stiff enough, there's an alternative which is the Legend II. It uses exactly the same technology as the TK8000 but it stiffer and head heavier.

    Shoulda heard the smashes coming from his racket in the Korea Open ... Man, I haven't heard smashes sound so good ... ever ...

    Though it might just have been the mic, but the commentators commented upon it too :p

    if Ko partner with Lee as long as J has, i think Ko will be better than J just because he can be more physical in the back with Lee in the front. i am excited about this pair even tho i'm a big fan of FHF/CY. i do think Ko/Lee will start to dominate this year as in winning the majority of the matches even if CBA don't withdraw from matches at all. but that's just my opinion of course.

    you also have to realized that Victor (and other brands) customize their rackets for their star players. so likely you won't be using the same exact spec as that Ko will be using. but then, we don't exactly play like Ko either...
