    From the instagram of Malaysia's Women Doubles player, Vivian Hoo Kah Mun...
    [​IMG]
    Seems like it is finalized and in mass production.
    Also seems to be on the stiff side according to the printing on the shaft...

    More images from BadmintonCN...
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Since this is the racket that I was looking forward, I will do some translations for it...
    Brand new frame... Top is Aero; Middle is Oval and Bottom is Box shaped aka The TRI-Formation...
    Sweet spot increased by 4%...
    New 6.4mm shaft which is 15.7% better than standard in terms of torsion... (I wonder about the so called standard...)
    Strength of smash is increased by 20% against standard attacking racket.
    And the frame strength is 6.7% better against god knows which standard....
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Brand new material used and brand new frame. (Line 1)
    Brand new shaft design. (Line 2)
    Attacking effect is really good... (Line 3)
    Probably meant that this racket is for high end to pro players? (Line 4)

    It's TTY's racket with her dad's usual old-school magic string job...

    Oh, and by the way, going by the few pictures I've seen she was still playing her usual TK7000SN during the first matches of the Universiade Games.

    I must admit. I'm getting this because of the "tri force".

    Jokes aside. Victor has proven to me they can make a giid racket with by rid frame shapes. Especially the ones with 3 shapes. JS12 and HX900 are good examples. They both just have the same issue. Sinking holes.

    i remember you saying sth douchey in another thread like "never seen her play with it and posting on instagram doesnt count" ... this is a photo of her from the university games (as you can see in the back). pretty sure this looks like a falcon tk ;)

    You are right. Looks like she is using it since the beginning of the singles tournament:

    [​IMG]

    I remember some pictures of the team tournament where she was still on the TK7000SN. It has to be seen if she will stay with it in the long term - her affair with the HX800 in 2015(?) was also rather short.

    maybe the pictures you have seen weren't from the current tournament? media tends to use old media if they don't have fresh one

    Well, this is from the 2017 Summer Universiade @ Taipei on the 27th & 28th of August, 2017... So she is actually using the Victor TK F for now.
