[Review] Victor Ryuga II

I received this racket second-hand and solely deliberate to check it as soon as and cling it on the wall for the reason that racket
design is tremendous cool and there may be body sturdiness concern as properly.

Victor Ryuga II (4U)
Weight 84.7 grams (the store stated this racket received excessive tolerance the burden is 84 +/- 3 grams)
BP: 299 mm
Swing weight: 85.5 Kg
Strung with Victor VBS 66 Nano 27lbs (strung the identical pressure for all of my racket for testing functions)

First Impression
The racket design and paint end are top-tier. I actually like that they eliminated victor emblem on the racket head and add the dragon tattoo design as an alternative, tremendous cool. The black,purple and white coloration blended completely. Nothing to complain about racket design and paints. The body is usually field and aerodynamic at 12 o’clock area of the body to assist generate racket swing velocity.

The shaft is medium stiff within the chart. I strung with black string and it appears to be like *chef kiss* cool AF. Holding felt good and weight distribution felt nice holding in hand. Swinging felt mild and nimble. The shaft felt extra on medium moderately than medium-stiff. It felt “springy” perhaps due to free-core that makes the shaft felt softer than it really acknowledged. I’d say that it felt considerably lighter than Ryuga 1.

Smash
Usually I’ll write smash class final however this class is tremendous essential to participant who used to make use of or play with Ryuga 1 like myself. Ofcourse, Ryuga 2 won’t ever provides the identical energy smash Ryuga 1 affords since Ryuga 2 is lighter. However smashing with Ryuga 2, the smashing energy actually actually disappoints me initially. After I attempted smashing with HS and TK-F. The smashing energy is much like TK-F however the shuttle velocity TK-F is healthier than Ryuga 2.

In case you’re anticipating BIG BIG smash, you wont get from Ryuga 2. However smashing with Ryuga 2 felt straightforward and I do not really want to push myself a lot to get a good smash out of it. Ryuga 2 felt extra strong than TK-F however the swing velocity is a tad bit slower than TK-F due to body variations.Total, good smash however not at Ryuga 1 degree.

Ease of play (clears)
This racket is tremendous straightforward to play with. Clears are “easy” (forehand and backhand) you title it. You solely want minimal energy to generate sufficient energy to hit from rear-court to rear-court. The shaft felt tremendous easy and the shuttle felt like every other free-core racket, semi hole and little to no undesirable vibration when hitting candy spot. The racket additionally doesn’t punish harshly when lacking candy spot. The shuttle will nonetheless fly with respectable peak. This racket is newbie pleasant. Anybody will be capable to play with this racket with no issue in any respect.

Management (directional and trajectory)
This racket can generate good repulsion so on the primary few hits you might want to regulate to the timing and trajectory a bit. After 5 min of warming up. The management is nice, the shuttle goes the place I needed it to go. I wrestle with drop photographs with this racket however that may’t be fastened with a session of coaching.

It is my mechanics drawback moderately than the racket. I received nothing to complain in regards to the management, moderately than the repulsion you will get with this racket is much more than I anticipated so adjusting with the facility is kinda needed if you are going to use it in a high-skill fast-paced match.

Drives
This racket drive capabilities are nice. The repulsion is on par or atad bit higher than my trusty HS. In comparison with HS. Ryuga 2 is atad bit slower because it’s head heavier however not by a lot. Entrance court docket drives are nonetheless good. However this racket excels at mid-back court docket drives the place you get extra time to wind up the racket for optimum energy.

This racket can catch as much as double quick paced drives and rallies no drawback. Ryuga 2 4U are geared in the direction of doubles greater than singles not like Ryuga 1 the place quick tempo rallies are a wrestle and tiring for me to even raise the racket up lol.

Defence
Defence is tremendous good with this racket. After 2-3 days of attempting Ryuga 2. I’ve to take part in a small badminton match. Each of my HS strings broke and left me with Ryuga 2. In opposition to excessive degree opponents with huge smash. Ryuga 2 can be capable to return again many of the smash with no drawback. What shock me is the repulsion I get from the shaft and racket head.

Even with unhealthy timing defence, I can raise it to the again of the court docket and someday I can drive the shuttle again with ease. In contrast to Ryuga 1, Ryuga 2 is swift by way of the air so defence is considerably simpler.

In contrast to Ryuga 1 that’s gear in the direction of heavy offensive arsenal. Ryuga 2 are much more all spherical and tremendous straightforward to play with. Coming from “velocity” racket, I’d say I do not actually have to regulate timing and playstyle since Ryuga 2 is sweet in each classes. In case you anticipate Ryuga 2 will probably be near Ryuga 1 you can be disenchanted for the reason that uncooked energy is not any the place close to (by way of 4U vs 4U).

What you get from Ryuga 2 is decrease offensive potential however a complete new degree of ease of play and all spherical functionality. If in case you have HS or TK-F or 88D Professional. Ryuga 2 is not going to be an improve by way of efficiency. However DAMN the racket appears to be like good.
