The Victor Thruster Ryuga TD Badminton Racket is for advanced players, looking for a high-end racket offering a high level of power, without losing out on control and precision. With a stiff shaft and head-heavy balance, this racket allows you to place your shots to perfection without sacrificing power, with added Powerbox technology to increase stability and allow for higher tension stringing (30lbs). 

Features:

Free Core - Designed by computer simulation and aided with the adoption of injection moulding technique, this revolutionised handle style allows the shaft to move more freely, which can not only make swings smoother but also improve the overall handling experience.

Hard Cored Technology - Inspired by Helicopter rotor blade technology – the multi-layered structure made of carbon fibre and composites, minimises material size and reinforces handling feel and performance.

POWERBOX – The box-shaped design effectively increases the stability and anti-torque, and can stand higher string tensions.

SEVEN SIX76 - The single-pass grommet hole construction creates less friction between strings, this effectively reduces tension loss, while extending string life.

BUYING GUIDE

Badminton Rackets Buying Guide

The key question to ask firstly is what style of player are you, or what type of player do you want to become?

  1. Power Attacking
  2. All Round
  3. Fast Reactions to Rallies
  4. Control and Touch, by moving players around the court to create space

As a general guide for your playing style below is the kind of racket you'll want to look at purchasing:

Playing Style Racket Balance Racket Flexibility Racket Weight
Power Attacking Head Heavy Stiff 85g – 89g (3U)
All Round Balanced Medium 80g – 84g (4U)
Speed & Fast Reactions Head Light Medium 79g or below (5U and up)
Control & Touch Head Light Hi Flex 79g or below (5U and up)


In simple terms is means this:
Player with Explosive Backswing Hitting = Stiffer Shaft needed as it'll unload faster for more power.
Player with Slower Backswing Hitting = More Flexible Shaft needed so that it'll unload fully at impact.

If you're still unsure what to choose for yourself, we'd recommend going for a medium flex badminton racket to minimise the chances of choosing incorrectly what's right for you.

Weight:

Weight can make a real difference to reaction speeds, and power behind the hit of a shuttle. Too light a racket and it won't go far or powerful enough. However too heavy a racket and you'll find you'll be reacting too slow in fast flat rallies, where reaction speed is everything.:

Most rackets are weighted around 3U (85-89g) or 4U (80-84g), this is because it's a good weight balance for players to hit hard and also be able to react fast too.:

Typically singles players will use heavier rackets 3U (85-89g), this provides the player with more stability and accuracy, with a little more weight for power behind it, without compromising on racket speed too much, as quick racket head speed isn't needed as much in the singles game:

Doubles players however will usually want lighter rackets, the most popular weight for this being 4U (80-84g), this is because the Badminton Racket will offer more speed and quicker reactions in around the net and for defence against smashes.:

Racket Strings Used & Tension:

Again like the grip, this is customisable on any racket. However do look out for racket tension ranges on the product as this could potentially limit your ability to have the racket strung at a desired tension.:

For a full breakdown on strings and tensions, see our buying guide specifically on this.:

To put it simply however, if you're unsure what to choose when buying a racket you like, either go for the “Original Strings” option or “Stringers Professional Decision” for which we'll choose the string that best suits getting the maximum performance out of the racket for you.:

A powerful racket for attacking style

Baught this last year from you. I'm very content with it. The string I chose (yonex aerobite) had a very good quality and it still smashes. The shaft is not as stiff as it says, but it has good control. The smash is quite powerful if you can pull it. Overall, I like it a lot and it's my favorite racket for attacking.

Fab Racket - poor strings

My 12 year old absolutely loved playing with this racket for 30 minutes before a couple of strings snapped. I accept strings do snap however I don’t think a 30 minute warm up session should be enough to cause this. My husband filled in the online contact form but we got no response so decided just to go and get it re-strung locally. This is his first Victor racket after only using Yonex before and he said the difference was amazing.

Victor Thruster Ryuga TD Badminton Racket, I find it to be a bit on the light side weight wise but very responsive, good for all round play, good power when smashing. Overall I am happy with the racket
