I'm trying to get a list of victor rackets that don't have grommet issues, or have common durability issues (clashes not included) from the following: Hypernano X 900 Hypernano X 800 LTD C Hypernano X 800 LTD P Thruster K F Thruster K 9900 Thruster K 9000 Meteor X 80 B Meteor X 90 Jetspeed 10, 11, 12 Bravesword 11 Thanks in advance
Speaking for myself and many other users out there. Jetspeed 10&12 definitely has sinking frame issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
thanks Can any users of bravesword 11 (latest version with 4/5 stiffness), hypernano X 800 control and power comment on the durability. I hear mixed responses with those.
You worry too much. Get a proper stringer, get the latest rackets with better materials. You'll be fine. Spend more time enjoying badminton.. than worrying when your racket will crumble. **** happens all the time. Cheers! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
When you spend the amount of money that Victor asks us pay, you would not expect it to sink on the first string would you? Sometimes proper stringers make mistakes too, would you give them a pass if they sunk your JS12 frame on the first string? Maybe retailers in Singapore are super nice and you can claim a sunken racket easily and promptly. In that case, I wouldn't mind shelling 200SGD for a Victor racket at all. But that wasn't the case for a lot of us. I personally had experienced sinking frame at first string 24lbs on a yellow 3U JS12 and I'm left with no JS12 which I've paid for 3 months before Victor agent told me to be thankful to be able to claim the racket because they no longer do sunken frame replacement. That is why I would check other people's feedback on sinking frame issue to avoid such experience again and this thread would be more convenient to check rackets that are susceptible this issue.
I understand the claim warranty in SG has shortened further. And they are forcing the resellers to sell at retail prices too. Bummer. Really depend on the reseller you claim from. Some can work some 'magic'. Anyways js12 is one of the well known rackets that are known to sink. If it sinks I see no reason why they won't replace for you. Just need to have a couple of rackets for backup for the lengthy claim process. Buy Li-Ning? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
No, I wanted to see what people's experiences were with those list of rackets. That list is not a list of rackets that have durability problems, it's just a random list of racket I was interested in. FYI I bought the TK9000 and it doesn't have any sinking grommet issues, it's a very durable racket. Among that list, the only ones with sinking grommet problems are Hypernano 800, 800 Power, 800 Control, Jetspeed 10, 10Q, and 12. Hypernano 900 might have it as well but i'm not sure.
I've had 2 JS12 Limes for a loooong time. I've used a wide variety of thin strings. Currently using VBS63. Still all original grommets, nothing damaged or sunken. I usually string 27-30lbs.
Can I use it for doubles ? Can you please give a review ? I am confused between this and Nanoray 900 ?
It's usable for doubles but only if you buy the 4u. Tk9000 4u is basically like a 3u even balance racket, it's a good all around racket with enough power and speed for most styles. Never tried nanoray 900 but I know it's a lot stiffer than tk9000.
If you are just casual competitive player then forget 3U when you not able to handle it. You had nothing to aim for & no reason to grow much. But if you aim to be national/international player, i think 3U is good to go & you need to train hard till you can tame it. Never get to lazy if you want to grow, but dont rushing & forcing your body to much if you dont want to get injury & possibly makes you retire early.
