Why does Victor's racket always out of stock & so pricey?

[Cloudx]

I think many are aware that Victor's rackets and products are always out of stock almost everywhere. And when they are in stock the prices for their top end flagship rackets are always higher than Yonex's top end rackets. Anyone know why?

Depends on where you live. In where I live, Li-Ning top end rackets are way more expensive. Victor and Yonex rackets cost more or less the same. I would even say that with Yonex introducing Pro rackets, they now cost even more than Victor.

I've wanted to try a Victor Racquet and live in England. It's very difficult to get a flagship model and the most common websites I buy from never have the newest in stock.

Same here in Malaysia, they're always out of stock. Whenever there's new stock arrive it got sold out very fast, I guess they only issue a couple of pcs each for the shops.
Been trying to get Thruster F E for a few months now but it's always out of stock.

Idk about the stock and price in another country.
But in Indonesia, a lot of stock and models.
Ryuga ii, tkfe, tkfc, auraspeeed 100x, 90kii, drivex 9x, and many more.
Price not really difference if compare with Yonex sp and lining.
But for Yonex JP, it's quite pricey.

You can try shopee, if you live in Malaysia.
I think they can ship it

Guess it depends on location, Yonex has been OOS since the pandemic and is pricey. Li Ning with older flagship models slightly below Yonex but newest Li Nings are out of stock and more expensive then Yonex. Victor pricing has been below Yonex for the longest time and now catching up to Li Ning but still have decent stock levels. But then again Victor pricing in some asian countries are like half the price of MRSP.
