    speaking of tk-f enhanced version, just ordered 2 in 3u from racquet force, I did want to try victors free core (wilsons counter vail is amazing) and it is the most beautiful racket ever made: [​IMG]

    There seems to be a light at the end of Victor's darkest times... a beautiful racket that is!

    And their approach with updating their previous best sellers with latest technolgies clearly floats my boat. So can we start a petition for them making a JS10II? For the record: I would buy one. Hands up who else would be joining me.

    Well we need them to step up their game for sure, the worst possible scenario for the industry is for Yonex to monopolize the market like they once did before

    I don't know bro. I saw the new TK-F in the shop. Maybe it's because I've been jaded by the multiple colourway releases and other sub models but it just didn't wow me.

    A JS10II sounds nice. As long as it doesn't sink. Personally I'm intrigued by the ARS100X atm. Got to swing a 4U piece. It had some surprising heft in the head despite the RF swing weight figures.

    yes they do lack compact frame in their line up at the moment, only hypernano 900x has one, but hypernano range is discontinued, still 900x should be very nice all rounder, but def. not as stiff as js10

    Why did this get me thinking of the Darth Vader racket? Wasn't that a JS10? What would a JS10 II on the Bright Side look like? C3PO shiny golden and rather stiff, but translates (power) well? Blue and green light saber highlights?

    Have you sent your application to the Victor design team already? Sounds killer to me!

    I thought I'd be a better fit for the "make fun of marketing" team, but... does anybody have a contact from their design team? Are they hiring? ;)

    The Vader was a JS10Q repaint so wasn't as nice to use as JS10 original in my opinion.
    It did look great though!!!

    The C3PO sounds appealing!

    Has anyone tried either the Victor TKF-Ryuga or the TKF-Enhanced. Would appreciate any comments on how both of these rackets play on the court rather than just looking at the specification. Thanks

    Hi,
    How is the stiffness and power of the JS 12 ii in 3U compared to the JS 12 & the JS 12 M in 3u?
    Thank you

    owned the new TK-F for 2-3 months now. I got it as soon its available. Chose the lightest 4U i could get from the whole bunch of stock coming in.

    Its actually slightly heavier than the lightest 4U i could find of the older version. I had like 3 of those.

    Anyway, so slightly heavier, smashing power definitely better (for myself and my swing style). I would say its definitely an improved version. But also comes with consequences, I have never had any muscles soreness from a 4U racquet ....until now....

    Though the 3U version is a completely different beast. I couldn't even hit a decent shot using it. (keep in mind I have been playing with TK-F for a few years now). I would say only the elite players can handle this racquet in 3U variant. (fun fact: thats why i think Setiawan is gonna be using this racquet from now on).

    Another fun fact, the LTD version of the S80 shoes matches the colour way perfectly and they both look so goood in real life.

    Yeah just using what you can use rather that use the 3U version. Good that you like your 4U version ;)

    Yeah mate, Victor Rackets price are generally higher than Yonex or Li-Ning Rackets in Indonesia :(. While none of my friends own one, also difficult to find solid reviews.

    Volant just review 4U Ryuga.
    The result quite surprising that the power are less than 88D Pro.
    Tought 88D Pro would excel at control & manouver but abit lower in power compare to Ryuga (based on RF SW test).

    Can anyone share about New TkF enhanced? Especially the 4U version
    Is that good for offence double player if compare with 88dpro?
    Base on Racquetforce the swingweight is 86, higher than 88dpro 4U 85.5
    But on youtube thailand review tkf enchanced swingweight only 83.5 and feel flex on shaft.
