Victor Super Waves 35

The Gods of Asgard here all want the hammer of Thor. If you are one of those than get the 3U, without a doubt. But if you are playing more doubles than singles perhaps the 4U is worth considering.

At my mediocre level , the 4U is fast enough for men's doubles. With the slightly lighter mass, your smashes may not pierce Kevlar. But I was taught that the point was to get the bird to the floor, not through your opponents ribcage. There is something in the stiffness and kickpoint that helps me hit the bird down crisply at those sharp angles. Just my 2 cents.

Of course ,you could always just get both.

 

Is Victor grip size system is the same as yonex? Yonex G4 = Victor G4?
Im considering to get one after reading abit about it, but so far, the ones that I can find in the UK are just 4U/G3. I'm more comfy with yonex's G5/G4 Grip.
Do you guys know any international dealer that can ship to the UK?

 

eh nvm, ignore my 1st question..i missed out LD rules post just few posts above..

 

Think u meant the other way around. Instead, Victor g3 should be more like yonex g5.

 

Victor G3 is Yonex G4
Victor G2 is Yonex G5

Victor: The numbers decrease with a grip which is getting smaller. Yonex: the number increase with a grip which is getting smaller.
Victor: lower number -> smaller grip
Yonex: higher number -> smaller grip

 

Ahh..thank you!
now, all i need to do is find a retailer who sells them in 3U G2.

 

sohubuy has the SW35 as G2 version. I think G2 is popular in Asia. In Europe it could be difficult. If you want to keep it headheavy I would recommend G3 with one thin layer of replacement grip. If you are from UK you can get it from tennistown as 3U/G3 version for 95€.

 

Once again, thank you Sir!
Im a small Asian player with small hands with palms that can generate mini tsunamis, hence requiring me to use towel grips most of the time. so i guess its better for me to get the G2. But will keep tennistown in mind. Thank you.

 

I almost had a heart attack just there :crying:

I was just about to order 2 more Sw35's but when I got to the webpage.... The SW35 was gone !

I am going to have to find somewhere else. Or wait for this MX80.

Just noticed I have reached 3,900 posts....

 

^have u tried squash_mart?

 

T200 is lighter than SW35. For doubles, T200 will have a slight advantage when it comes to defending. SW35 is head-heavy.

 

Any of you feel that the sw35 is sorta even balanced besides me? I might have loaded up on too much leadtape for my previous racket. hehe...

 

Victor Germany "banned" Eric from selling to Europe

 

well, mine when I measured the BP last was 298mm (when I used supergrap) one supergrap ontop of wood. 3UG3 so maybe it's around 292mm with original grip.

 

I know what you mean. It is headheavy but doesn't feel very much so.
Perhaps it's something in the shaft. Quite a nice feel.

 

Thanks for this very clear answers.

 

My feel is that T200 is balanced but heavier overall while the SW35 is lighter overall but slightly more head biased.

 

yeaa...maybe, or im just used to super head heavy rackets.. haha, used to cover my entire frame with leadtape

 

You are absolutely right.

 

Oh boy, this is a low balance point. Mine has 310mm with Karakal Super PU on wood, and 300mm with Karakal Super PU + Karakal Nano Air 60.
Yesterday I played after a long period, with my BS10, a session with my SW35 and I forgot how powerful it is. I played mixed doubles and playing at the back was awesome. dropshots, crosscourt dropshots (backhand+forehand), clears (backhand+forehand) were such effortless, so I will keep my BS10 for some sessions in my bag.
