Thruster TK-F Black Gold

I recently received my thruster f enhanced edition. It took about a week to come. The racket looks amazing, from the gold accents to the white, black and brown colours. Overall a 9/10 aesthetic wise. My only dislike about it is the new hard cored racket handle. It feels a lot thicker than my usual astrox 99 pro. Especially when gripped it feels quite chunky in the hand. Smashing didn’t feel as crisp as my 99 pro but still felt great. Backhand clears are not my forte but this racket some how made it a lot easier to perform this swing. The longer and skinnier head is a lot more obvious in real life when looking at the racket but to me doesn’t quite feel like a bigger sweet spot. When buying the racket i asked for VS-70 in 27 pounds with a note of victor logo on strings. After viewing another review they said they didn’t receive the logo and neither did i. I’m unsure whether it is the strings that don’t come with the logo or something else, but quite disappointed with that. The racket came with a cloth bag rather than the usual racket bag and it seemed pretty bad quality. The toggle doesn’t work that well and the fabric feels cheap. I chose VS-70 light blue and when the racket arrived it was such an usual colour. Not what i was expecting. It was strung half light blue and half dark blue with each quarter of the racket separated into the two colours. Very strange colour stringing and not a big fan. Might just get it restrung with white. Other than that the racket is very nice and aesthetic. Quite expensive but if you are willing to pay this amount, its pretty much a great all rounder racket.

Got this racket on a whim after watching Badminton Insight on YouTube. Nice looking racket. Surprised it arrived with a cloth bag instead of a hard bag ( apparently standard in Victor due to shortages of hard bags). Racket feels light and easily manoeuvrable. The grip part is a bit longer than what I am used to also made of the famed plastic core which feels a little funny , it’s also a bit stiff so takes a bit to get used to. (I am just a intermediate /beginner so took me ~3 weeks). Smash is starting to feel good and I’m getting more power out of it ( might be because it’s my first time using victor strings vb 68p ( they didn’t have yonex 80P). Overall a great racket. Looking forward to tame it 😋

The racquet is great and works as expected but can't same the same about the service with Pro Racquet! I specifically made a note to have a Victor Logo on my string but it was never done and the bag that they gave me is faulty so I can't even close the racquet bag! Definitely not happy with that!

Good Racket easy to play on.
