    I agree. You can easily see that he was never the guy who played with a boxed frame.

    Walked into a Victor shop to get my racket restrung and found out about an event that was going on so I thought it was pretty fun and wanted to share.

    (Only for January 2016)
    free BR-9001 bags for every person who purchases a racket that costs over 200000won at a official dealership.
    and
    In the 2016 Rio olympics
    If the korean national team wins 1 gold medal from the 5 badminton events, you get 50% off on the same racket. (When you buy another one)
    If the korean national team wins 2 gold medals from the 5 events, you get 70% off on the same racket. (When you buy another one)
    If the korean national team wins 3 gold medals from the 5 events, you get the same racket for free.

    The victor racket prices in Korea are very expensive (250000won minimum for major models) but they offer nice services and events like this. Normally, if you buy a major model racket in an official shop and it breaks, you can buy the same model for 50%.

    visor, while it may seem expensive compared to the asian market we must remember that there are extra distribution and storage costs associated.. oh wait.

    :D

    Victor Korea can lean on the power of having the national squad in their pocket.

    Not so much anywhere else;).

    Top end Victor rackets here in Australia are now $200.

    It wasn't that long ago I was landing them here via Eric for under $160

    Unfortunately same here in Canada. I haven't ordered from Eric for the past half year. More due to the stupidly strong USD... :(

    It's worse when you know how much rackets cost to make, too.

    Vietnam is really expensive as well with lots of fakes to sort through. Feels bad. My JS10 was about $210

    I'm looking to pick a new victor racquet (specifically has to be victor) and I was wondering if anybody could make a quick comparison between the 3u hypernano 800 and the 4u jetspeed 10? I'm coming from a 4u thruster k9000 but I'm trying to find something more even balanced but still kind of beefy for both singles and doubles. Also I just tested an mx90 and wasn't a fan, for what it's worth.

    Jetspeed Ahmad - not quite as fast as the JS10 but bangs hard

    Ah. There's one I hadn't considered. It was only 3/5 headweight so I thought it might be a bit too light. But I'll definitely take a look at some reviews for it, thanks!

    I went from tk9000 to js10 to js ahmad for the same reasons. The Ahmad is fast, slightly head heavy and hits as hard as the tk9000 because its faster swing speed.

    If it's got a higher balance point then the jetspeed 10, there's a pretty good choice you just named my new racquet. Haha
