Hi guys, I never had a Victor racket before and wanted to get my hands on one. At the moment I currently play with the Astrox 100ZZ but no issues with it at all. Love it as always but I realized that I never had a Victor racket before and wanted to buy one for fun as a collection. Can you guys give me some recommendations of what Victor rackets to choose based on the topic description? I prefer a 4U racket between even balance to head heavy if that helps. At the moment I am looking at the Victor Auraspeed Hypersonic racket.
If you want to get a Victor racket that has their signature free-cored handle (plastic handle), do check with your supplier that you can get replacement IF the grip loosen or broken, regardless of how it happened. There's a lot of reports of spinning shaft and broken grip from Asian users, so just make sure you're covered. If you play well with Astrox100zz, I'd recommend you go for Thruster Falcon Enhanced used by Hendra Setiawan. Only because it's rather stiff, head heavy and has a slight softer hitting feel like 100zz. If you wanna go solid hard hitting feel + more repulsion I'd recommend AS100X. Ryuga 2 is a hard pass and AS90K2 is just ugly. If you want a Victor racket solely for collection sake, I'd say: 1. Thruster Falcon Enhance 2. Ryuga 1 (mid-tier technology racket that is over priced only because made famous by a certain player) 3. TTY's Thruster Falcon Claw (tons of version, couldn't keep track of them all) If you like old school you can look for Jetspeed 10 (either white or neon green/red) or Brave sword 12 but recent production's quality sucks and second hands are hard to find.
