Great video guys. I actually ordered one with Aerobite boost strong @30lbs. Can't wait to try it out. Also when I did some digging I found it to be head heavy and I think in the video where you compare balance you share the info about Thruster FC instead Thruster F which has a different head space is actually a lighter head compared to the F model. Just FYI. thanks for all the great content you put out there. Learning a ton from you both. Keep kicking ass.

@muhdsazlly4510 2 года назад

This racket finally arrived today at my home after buying it online. The string that Im using is exbolt 63 with the tension 27lbs. My god, it feel so good. So, this racket is highly recommended to everyone who want to buy a high end racket. 5/5 🌟.

Thanks for the review, awesome head design I'll definitely check it out! I'm in agreement with you on weight, balance and stiffness, average being perfect with the strings and tension fine-tuning the feel. Really like that the racket is also rated for higher string tensions too, Victor stands by their quality whereas the other big brand is sorely wanting here.

@LisaL. 2 года назад

I've been thinking of getting a new racket once Covid is over. I don't have much power, and rely on the racket to be as efficient as it can be at transferring my limited power. I think most people would be interested if the racket can still return reasonably, when a bad return was made, and how it compares with other all rounder rackets. Hehe but I doubt anyone would admit to that. I played with a few brands before, and so far I find Yonex hurts my hand the least when a bad shot is played.

@majicyoung Год назад

Thanks Greg and Jenny, Finally I got the racket I want, Thruster F claw is best balanced racket with speed and specially accuracy of shots. Thank you so much again.

@riadhymuhammad6262 2 года назад

We're same user of Victor racket, i have Jetspeed S 05 light and auraspeed 2000 M. Both rackets are incridible, especially the paint, no chip when clash with another racket during the game. I prefer to use Auraspeed 98k easy to handle, Tk F enhanced is too flex that hard to control

@zulu1273 2 года назад

Would love to hear ur reviews/comments on recent completed tournaments. Your own matches, others matches or even the whole tournament as such.

@crazybeebob 2 года назад

Nice review. Would have loved to hear you say the real colour name "moonless night". You certainly have some influence over us, since this racket is sold out in a flash. It seems to resemble my duora 55 in specs, but the duora has a hard to hit sweetspot on a higher tension (12kg). I guess that's what you get when skimping on your gear. Must say you're getting pro at youtube: clickbate-title, mentioning the sponsor in the video without it getting tedious, keeping it light and fresh (with a small joke 2:35). 👍 Would love to see a video on string tensions. (if you haven't made one already) What changes according to low-mid-high tension. Effect or no effect when going beyond the recommended tension. What it does to someone of a certain level (beginner/club/professional). Thanks for the review (must be one of the first on this racket).

@crazybeebob 2 года назад

Update: this Victor is a touch more headheavy than my duora. Not too much like my Astrid 5fx. Just enough. The handle feel is really noticable in a good way. It is like it gives an added snap. It is so userfriendly it makes everthing feel easy and makes the shuttle go as i wanted it to go. No regrets grom this buy.

@naughtydog86 2 года назад

Hello Greg and Jenny, Hope you guys are well and continue to make more videos for the badminton community. Thank you for the work you guys do, much appreciated. Got the racket a few months now and set up with the following:- Victor Thruster F Enhanced (Black and Gold) 4U Yonex Aerosonic at 32/30 lbs (pre-stretched) Its bonkers!!! (my now go to racket of choice and recommendation) I was very hesitant to jump to Victor as a very long time Yonex user and also just got the Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ too (jumped as I am convinced by you guys). But as I mainly play doubles and most preferred to play at the rear, the 100 ZZ felt the best option for me. (Until now.......). Yes, I do lose some power and steep angle on my smashes but I gain the extra control for my net shots and drives. Defence also becomes so easy. Clears become so easy. The control, the feel, the transitions from back to front and side to side, its so much more fluid. It also gives that confidence to play more and also it made me challenge myself to go for the tighter shots and such a confidence booster. Currently looking for my 3rd piece but no more stock available in Australia. Keep it up guys!!! I'm a convert thanks to you guys. Cheerios.

@parapsychique 2 года назад

Hi guys! Thanks for the regular video uploads. I always have fun watching your videos, especially since your production has become so much better compared to your first videos. Still, I wanted to give you feedback on this video. In my opinion, this video blurs the line between advertisement and other, regular content. I feel like this video came out of nowhere and does not fit to your other content too well. Why is that? You usually don't talk too much about equipment. You only talk about this racket, but not about others. That is rather a problem of Victor, not yours. As a consumer, I don't have an overview on what other rackets are offered by Victor. For Yonex, CK Yew provides great content, which gives me the opportunity to compare which racket would suit me the most. This is also a suggestion: I would love for you and Victor to give us more detailed guides on how all or most of their rackets are weighted and what their specifics are like.

@johnckl2612 2 года назад

Hi Jenny and Greg, great video as always! 👍 Would you have any recommendations for a Victor racket that's even balance and medium flex that's suitable for a beginner to intermediate player level and with a price point that's not too heavy on the wallet?

@iix23 2 года назад

I bought the Thruster F Claw Tai Tzu Ying (newer model) and it's quite nice. It's easier to hit than my Astrox 99pro but has less power. I also use the Victor to play doubles as I think it's faster. The Astrox 99pro is a work horse for singles though. I would say that the Astrox is also a little head heavier than this one. I cranked up the Victor all the way to it's limit at 31 pounds and it is fantastic for net play. BTW, thanks for your videos. They are very informative, especially the ones about tactics. I didn't use to play a lot of doubles and you guys cover all the bases that I am not aware of.

@zenith5795 2 года назад

Hey. I am looking to buy the same racket. Can you give a brief review. Stiffness, head balance and user experience? Also is it the latest Thruster model from Victor or the one described in this video is the newer release. Thanks in anticipation.

@iix23 2 года назад

@@zenith5795 I can only compare it to Yonex products. (88d pro and 99 pro). I am 185cm (5'10") and weight about 90kg (200 pounds) intermediate player. It feels lighter in my hand. Mid stiff compared to the other 2 rackets. They say it is head heavy but, nothing compared to the 88d pro and the 99 pro. Power-wise, it's short versus the 2 others but it makes up with speed and a bigger sweet spot (very useful when playin doubles.) It's easy to dig shots with it as you can string it up to 32 pounds and it shines at the net. I bought it to play doubles as the game is faster. On a personal note, I pack muscles and I am not lengthy so, perhaps that is why it feels light in my hand. I also enjoy the lack of vibration when cracking the shuttle at full force doing clears. It is also easy to use compared to the other two. The 99 pro is especially taxing when playing long rallies. Would I buy it again? Yes, I am not sure what else I could find in that range and quality. Here is one thing I know,,, When I miss a shot with this racket, I am 100% that it is because of me and not my equipment. I hope this helped.

@zenith5795 2 года назад

@@iix23 I currently play with Astrox 88D Game ( lower model of Pro ) and Nanoflare 800 ( My first high end racket). I'm an Intermediate+ player. My first preference was 100zz but popular opinion is that it's crazy stiff and meant for advanced player. Now I'm looking for mid flex head heavy racket with big sweet spot. I play mostly doubles but improving as a singles player. I can generate decent power through NF800 which is on stiffer side and is even balanced. Considering this would you recommend Thruster K-fc to me or I should choose between 88D pro and 100zz or look any other way ( Lining).

@iix23 2 года назад

@@zenith5795 I am not sure that I am qualified to answer that question. My club house has many demos to try and in the case of the "Thruster F Claw Tai Tzu Ying" I asked another player if I could try it for a warm-up. I found that other players are usually happy to lend you their racket for a try, especially if you have one of equal quality for them to try. One thing I want to make clear though is that if your a guy who's games is based on smashing, this would certainly not be my first choice and if I was only playing singles, that would also not be my first choice. As for stiffness (100zz), I think that one can work around this problem. I play around 2-3 hours weekdays every morning (5:30 am to 8:30 am) . Usually my partners and I, open that session with a 30 minutes of "work" like let's say I want to practice my backhand so, they will give the shuttle only on my backhand and I do the same for them. I use that time to break-in a new racket. There is nothing more fun than to get a good crack out of a difficult racket to play. Also, I am not focus on winning every points. I play badminton to stay in shape and get a good sweat (as I hate running.). At my age, I am not aiming for the Olympics but I want to make sure that my short comings are not due to poor equipment quality. This racket "Thruster F Claw Tai Tzu Ying" qualifies as an excellent product (in my opinion.) and as my "intermediate level" indicates, I am pretty sure that I am not even getting 60% out of what it can do. At one point, a player has to take responsibility for his game. I see "pros" here in Taiwan dismantling other players with a 50$ racket for fun. Ha ha ha

As always when looking for a new racquet the hardest thing is getting hold of some to test - do TRME offer a trial service? The only place I know that has a really convenient system is Mark Lawrence at Wycombe where you can 'rent' a racquet for a few quid and of course there are decent courts on site. (pretty much Yonex only though) Last time I changed I considered the JS10 but was put off by the grommet sinking issues and ended up with 88S...which are very good but not quick enough. I was thinking of trying the Nanoflare 800 but maybe the Thruster F is worth a test. Gotta get it right as it's a lot of money....especially if you're buying a few!

Have you ever used a Nanoflare 800 and is it close enough to that in terms of maneuverability and speed? NF800 feels even balanced to me, with my overgrips.

@miguelv2985 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. I've used the previous racket TKF (blue color) and I feel like its an all around racket. Unfortunately, it broke during a racket clash with another player.

😢 oh no!

@laborsynropnongkhlaw3028 2 года назад

I would agree with the TK-FC being the best Victor racket in combination with the VBS 63. What about for other racket brands? Most people are brand conscious and do have a bias for one brand over another. I've found that even the same racket would give a different feel of play and performance when the string is changed to a different type. A comparison video might be a good idea to take up in the future regarding this.

@BadmintonInsight 2 года назад

Yes we’d love to compare other rackets in the future! Glad you’re enjoying it, with vbs 63 also 😍 thanks for the suggestion!

@jw-vx8im 2 года назад

Try that yonex exbolt 63 If you get a chance

@justin_t 2 года назад

Vbs63 is equivalent to what yonex strings?

@jw-vx8im 2 года назад

@@justin_t maybe exbolt 63 but this is a forged fiber

@ashray4871 2 года назад

Could you upload the video on how you chose your racket and the potential candidates for your fav racket 😅😅

@BadmintonInsight 2 года назад

We’ve already done a video like this in the past on our channel if you want to check that out! Apologies in advance for the poor camera quality though 😬

How does Jenny cope with such a heavy racket at the net? My first (and second) impressions are that it's a split second slow. So now I'm hitting net kills into the net. My smashes are back to being like when I used to have an Arcsaber 10 though. Or like when I manage to get the sweetspot on the Nanoflare. Is it just a matter of using a training racket every now and again? 🤔

@ROHANKUMAR-pk1jm 2 года назад

Hey Greg and Jenny I'm big fan of you and your badminton ...I want to know is apacs z ziggler worth to buy ..I'm.an intermediate player Nd I like smashes I prefer more singles and during doubles I like to.play from.back of the court

@graeme5060 2 года назад

A head to head against the ArcSaber 11 Pro would be cool. Both are even balanced and similarly priced.

@Ztormrageheero 2 года назад

Thats what I am trying to figure out too. Using nanoray800 right now

@septedysurya1450 Год назад

what about thruster F 1st generation who has isometric shape frame? is still worth to buy? now i have TKF enhanced, but i want to buy the 2nd racket who's cheaper than enhanced edition. thx

Hi i would like to ask if u can compare the yonex duora Z strike and the victor Thruster Falcon claw because i’m debating these two because both of these are my perfect racket and i can’t decide what racket i want either the yonex duora Z strike or the victor Thruster falcon claw

@kakikomen8488 2 года назад

Good info 👍👍👍

@BadmintonInsight 2 года назад

Thanks 👍

@sedriczhiggory 2 года назад

2:29 I thought for a second that you didn't get along with that one particular club player 😂 imagine being called out on Badminton Insight like that

@cantcube7569 Год назад

For me. I found that the racket significantly improved my consistency (which i find the the most important factor in a racket)and allowed me to play much better. I love it! But i find that it isn’t the most powerful but still powerful. 8-8.5/10 for everything imo 👍

@berlin5895 Год назад

the power will depend on your skill friend, racket only help a bit

@ovtroll1199 Год назад

i find the same. im used to a sledgehammer of a racket and stiffer as well. i use the astrox 99 pro so switching to this racket was what i thought would be hard but was actually dead easy. had to adjust a few timings and there but overall is a good racket. i usually use about 28lbs x 30lbs for tension but i would go higher since i find the racket to be quite whippy. currently have my thruster f enhanced edition at 31lbs x34lbs. seems to feel better and more lets say natural. seems to be working for me. very rarely i would use such high tensions but it seems to work atm so im going to stick with it with this racket

@blackpanther538 2 года назад

Can you do a tutorial on how to spin the racket ?

@PassionR 2 года назад

Any recommendations for a light racket, heavy head, and a flexible shaft.

Hello i just bought victor thruster f hendra setiawan, i use it twice and there’s a weird noice in the cone (the sound is like and old wood door) i’ve tried to claim it to victor and they changed it and now the new racket also sounds like and old wooden door. Do you guys have the same issue there? Please reply, thanks

@DonBonin 2 года назад

Ok, this is my third and final racket! I dont care if the next one is infused with pixe dust and the sweat of Viktor Axelsen. Order sent!

@Gelatinmitril 2 года назад

@LEE-ms8sc 2 года назад

what about thruster F claw TTY edition ? what the difference between this two ?

@wsol01 2 года назад

What's the yonex equivalent to this thruster F enhanced edition? I heard victor racket feels more hollow or more mute compared to yonex, is it true?

@earann4602 2 года назад

Did you ever try some Kawasaki's rackets ? The mark is almost not known, but their rackets are top tier especially the refined quality one ! If you ever get the chance try some you might get delighted :)

@badmintonpitstop3789 Год назад

I agree. I have been using King K9 and Honour S9

@longdang3379 2 года назад

the sad thing about badminton is that so few people play it, that you dont even have a proper review of anything, other than Yonex rackets due to how well they do their marketing. Therefore, you miss out on a LOT of quality rackets.
