Once upon a time, ‘fast’ became synonymous with VICTOR’s doubles rackets, and its unique shaped and wind-breaking frame design always became the wind vane of the overall badminton circle. VICTOR has never slacked off in the pursuit of speed, and on the contrary, it has given birth to a series of rackets that combine the seemingly contradictory concepts of ‘speed’ and ‘attack’, ‘fast’ and ‘stable’, and the concept of ‘stability’, which is the key to the success of VICTOR. Instead, VICTOR has given birth to a number of excellent works that combine ‘speed’ and ‘attack’, ‘speed’ and ‘stability’, which seem to be contradictory, but have achieved a good fit.
The AURASPEED 100X that I am going to share with you today, as a model of the AURASPEED series with the extraordinary 100, must be more than just fast so mediocre and simple.
The post-modern industrial style cement grey mixed with dappled starlight forms the introverted tone of the AURASPEED 100X, the dazzling red-orange and sporadic pure white signify that the AURASPEED 100X is not willing to be mediocre, and the white-orange colour blends with each other in the middle tube. I have always been in love with bright and colourful design, but for the cool-toned AURASPEED 100X, there is an inexplicable irresistibility, it is not the kind of love at first sight, but the kind of simple and unforgettable.

The 100X in my possession is a 4UG5 specification;

Marking pounds: ≤ 28lbs;
Number of threading holes: 76 holes, the overall racket frame area is larger;
Racket body length: 675mm;
Empty racket weight: 77.8g (official factory de-bottomed rubber weight: 7.1g, the bottom rubber is separately encapsulated and can be self-adhesive);
Empty racket bottom balance point: 310mm (on the line without the bottom rubber wrapped around 3 layers of VICTOR priming film 88.5g, on the GR233 hand glue after 305mm);
The official logo of the middle tube directly 6.8mm (actual measurement 7.04mm) the elasticity of the middle tube is hard, the official playing feeling logo hardness is hard. (The feedback from the hardness logo is slightly less than ARS-90K;
Handle length: 210mm (extended handle);
Handle material: nylon composite handle;
Threading with: VBS-66nano, poundage 28lbs;
Hands-On Physical/Technical Interpretation
The grip on the hand is more moderate, the weight distribution is more balanced, there is a slight sense of head weight, the overall grip in the Godspeed series can be ranked after the 90K and PB in terms of the sense of head weight.
Power Windbreaker Frame + Stretch Shield
The StretchShield technology is a combination of high-toughness glass fibre into the laminated design of the power windbreaker frame, which achieves better elasticity and comfort when hitting the ball. Combined with my earlier experience with the StretchShield technology on the Platinum Leather Claw, I can clearly feel that the AURASPEED 100X is hard and elastic, but does not have any vibration or mute feeling at all. The classic power windbreaker frame combined with the Elastic Shield reinforcement technology produces a smooth windbreaking effect. In practice, it is more stable and precise in flat blocking and continuous attacking, and brings a powerful attack with continuous pressure. In this way, the AURASPEED 100X can bring out its ‘fast, stable and accurate’ blocking style in the mid-field.
With the use of high modulus carbon S.R.S. and Stretch Shield technology, the most intuitive feeling is that the overall stability of the AURASPEED 100X is particularly outstanding during multi-shot hitting, even with the VBS-63 strings (27-28lbs), which have outstanding elasticity and a soft feel, the AURASPEED 100X still has a ‘dry and direct’ feel. Even with the VBS-63 strings (27-28lbs), the AURASPEED 100X still has a ‘dry and direct’ feel to the ball.
The combination of speed and accuracy of the AURASPEED 100X is excellent, and the stability of the ball can still be guaranteed under the fast-paced multi-shot play. For singles players who are keen on more delicate net control, the AURASPEED 100X tends to have a weak ball wrapping feeling under such a crisp and clear feedback, and the ball drags and stays on the line for a short period of time when the AURASPEED 100X is hit by the hand slingshot and the wrapping cut.
Fast ball, accurate landing point, crisp feedback, consistent and stable, by virtue of the overall characteristics of the higher balance point of 305mm, the integration of the heavy kills are as powerful as a breakthrough, and the Godspeed AURASPEED 100X in the spectrum of heavy kill performance naturally became a deserved spectrum of the most. The PB that I have experienced before also has an excellent head weight and downward pressure feeling, but for the AURASPEED 100X, the feedback after the heavy kill is more comfortable, and the burden on the body of the racket holder after hitting the ball is also weaker, but it has not reduced the precision of the ball in the slightest, which is different from the whipping sensation of the ARS-90K’s absolute sudden attack, and it is fast, stable and accurate. AURASPEED 100X is the core attacking weapon of AURASPEED.
Handle Reinforcement – Unleash a Solid Hitting Feel
FREE CORE + POWER RING. After the recall, the AURASPEED 100X is back with POWER RING technology, which makes the overall shock-absorbing feel of the ball even more remarkable. Adopting Japanese nano nylon material and introducing injection moulding technology, it releases the freedom of swinging in the middle tube, which makes the swinging smooth and the hitting feeling more comfortable.
Threading Recommendations
Stronger feedback and shorter lag time on the ball bed can help you to push forward. However, this also directly leads to the fact that the AURASPEED 100X will need to be adjusted accordingly when dealing with rolls that require delicate feedback, so you can try to match it with a vbs63 cable that pays more attention to the handling and elasticity of the feel to improve the feeling of holding the ball. For me, the AURASPEED 100X is undoubtedly an excellent doubles speed type of attacking racket, through its fast ball, accurate landing, crisp feedback, coherent and stable overall characteristics, of course, can also be used as a singles when necessary, recommended that amateurs who love doubles choose 4U specifications for experience, such as more demanding on the attacking part of the choice of the appropriate 3U specifications.
