[Detailed Review] Victor Auraspeed 100X after 1 month

Some story
This racket is tremendous duper well-liked and in tremendous excessive demand that victor TH shares actually ran out. I am additionally out there for a “pace – management” kind racket as nicely and my senior who personal 4 of 100X rackets tout this racket to be “Finest speed-control kind racket out there and BS12 shouldn’t be even near this racket” so I made a decision to tug the set off.

My present racket:
Victor Auraspeed 100X (Victor VBS 66 Nano 26lbs)
Victor Jetspeed S12 ii (Li-ning No.1 Increase 27 lbs)
Jnice Black Panther 4U (Exbolt63 26.5 lbs)

I personal and function badminton courtroom for lease in Rayong, Thailand, I play + prepare 6 days per week to quickly enhance my talent since I simply began enjoying once I open my very own badminton courtroom (6 months in the past).

Swing weight: 83 kg

Preliminary Ideas
– Assured
– Lighter in hand
– Superfast by the air

Swinging 100X by the air feels gentle and swift which is bizarre for the reason that stability level is 300mm, I believed it ought to swing a bit slower than BS12, surprisingly it swings as quick as BS12. I will likely be evaluating 100X with BS12 lots since each rackets are constructed of comparable functions that are “racket that’s simple to play with and racket which have excessive pace” 100X body shouldn’t be as aerodynamic as BS12 nevertheless it does not make the swing feels any slower.

Clears
Anybody which have performed with BS12 earlier than will perceive that “easy feeling”. Clears are easy. I’ve to regulate my energy on clear a bit since on my warm-up I overshoot the courtroom each time I hit. Again hand clears are actually tremendous simple.

Drives
On drive state of affairs this racket is a BEAST. The repulsion I get from this racket is insane and the dealing with pace is tremendous good too. You possibly can principally drive and maintain stress whereas strolling ahead since this racket will make you have the ability to sustain with the pace. This racket is constructed for dominating the frontcourt. 100X have extra repulsion than my Jetspeed S12ii.

Smash
Though this racket is assessed as a “pace” racket. This man packs a punch on smashes, this racket not gonna provide you with tremendous onerous and heavy smashes like 88D professional or TK-F SE. What this racket supplies you might be stable and easy smashes. I’d say 100X smashes are “quick” however not “heavy”, entrance – midcourt smashes are killer. Rear courtroom smashes are good however not as lethal as my previous trusty Jnice Black Panther.
You in all probability will not have the ability to brute pressure your means by with rear courtroom smash like 88D professional in case your opponents bought respectable protection. However this bought higher smashes than BS12, when you like BS12 however wished extra smashing energy from it. 100X will do the job.

Protection
With insane repulsion and good dealing with pace. This racket is nice at protection. 100X gave me a shot that I haven’t got earlier than which is the drive counter if the opponent smashes trajectory does not level downward, I can drive it straight again to the smasher which he/she does not have an opportunity to answer, or I can simply smash the shuttle again if the timing is correct as nicely, tremendous satisfying.

Management
This racket is without doubt one of the greatest in management division IMO. Tremendous simple to information the shuttle to the place you need it to go. The racket does not have that “maintain time” that Arc 11 professional have however you usually wont want that a lot holds time when you’re not a participant who likes misleading photographs anyway. As a result of the racket is on the lighter facet. the “double-action” or maintain flick photographs are simpler than ever for me.

Mishits
The rationale why I am now a Victor fanboy is due to the free-core tech. The undesirable vibration-absorbing is tremendous good for each elbow and shoulder. Do not misunderstand, this know-how wont make your mishits fly higher. It solely makes your physique feels much less terrible once you mishit which is what I believe everybody will likely be happy with.

100X is a superb selection for all-around gamers which are searching for a racket that gives nice pace, ease of play, and respectable energy. 100X will now be my substitute for Jetspeed S12ii once I play male double and I’ll nonetheless use my Jnice for blended double since I’ll primarily be within the rear courtroom, however will change to 100X on my unhealthy day or once I’m not 100% wholesome.

For those who’re extra of an influence smasher, I’d recommend TK-F SE or 88D professional as a substitute since you will see 100X missing in energy and that “oomph” once you smash.
For many who’s out there for 88S kind of racket, I believe you need to give 100X an opportunity.
For many who’s searching for BS12, simply purchase 100X as a substitute.
