    Knowing Victor, this won't be available for at least 6 months.

    I don't like it [colour/design] much. It's a bit too....Transformers-y for me, and we've already been subjected to that.

    Idk abt transformers-y but if that color tone is anything like the SW37 it's gonna be pretty.

    Please do let me know when it's available in Asia! We're trying to work with Victor to have products available here at the same time as everyone else!

    Having strung this racket at the All Englands and had a few dry swings, it won't be on my purchase list. The head is the same as JS10 which i like. It's a good-looking racket. With my continued injury my tastes are changing and therefore another Thruster just won't be on my radar.

    From initial feeling paul, what would be the most "user friendly" between the JS10 or the K9900?

    It might be on mine for next year:). Tall, with a tiny head... worth a test, at least.

    i may not spill it..but i will give tease you guys a bit :)

    Well, the Specs is exactly the same like K9000...nothing new there.

    The Technologies in it...well, how should i say..it´s "new and untypical" for a Thruster :)

    AND...hold on real tight... . the shaft is the slimmest from all Victor Rackets..Definetly Slimmer than JS10..but i don´t know if it´s as slimm or even slimmer than ZF-2.

    Anybody know how thin the Shaft from Z-Force 2? 6.7? 6.8?

    If you're going to say 6.6mm then save it . Victor already did that with the JS Bao. And babolat already do 6.5 too.

    Sounds nice but nothing I'm going to like. Too thin a shaft with similar specs to the 9000 is just dangerous IMO.
