Victor
The VICTOR THRUSTER RYUGA METALLIC is a premium attacking badminton racket designed for advanced and competitive players who demand explosive power, stability, precision, and a crisp response. Its head-heavy balance and stiff shaft provide strong momentum behind powerful smashes and attacking clears, making it particularly suited to aggressive rear-court play. The racket features Metallic Carbon Fiber in the frame, combining thin metallic material with high-strength carbon fibre to enhance power, elasticity, frame strength, and energy transfer. This construction helps produce a powerful yet direct hitting feel, while also improving stability during high-intensity shots. The shaft combines High Resilience Modulus Graphite with PYROFIL carbon and a 6.8 mm shaft design. PYROFIL is engineered to provide high strength, lightweight performance, vibration damping, and improved handling. The stiff shaft delivers a crisp and responsive feel, allowing experienced players to transfer energy efficiently into the shuttle. The Power Box frame construction improves stability and resistance to twisting, helping maintain control during powerful impacts. HARD CORED TECHNOLOGY reinforces the frame structure and contributes to a solid hitting feel. The racket is also designed to support high string tensions, allowing advanced players to customize the string bed for greater precision and control. VICTOR’s own testing places the RYUGA METALLIC above the original RYUGA and RYUGA II in smash power, while the RYUGA II is faster in drives and defensive play. This makes the RYUGA METALLIC particularly focused on maximum attacking power and heavy shots.
