The HAWK is a racket I’m not too keen on, known as Victory’s mid-range trio (SO CALLED), and although it’s generally recognised as having hawk’s charisma, the water level of up to 400+ does diminish a lot of the temptation as the big three go up in price all at once. Once the price goes up, I’m afraid its reputation is no good.
Parameters: 4UG5, de-bottomed and full with a total weight of 85g, balance point 312mm, bellow carbon centre pole, 215mm long, moderate hardness, box transition top wind breaker frame, 8-4 point string slot, pulling line 26lb vbs70.
The racket is painted very dynamic, following the design language of the Blue Falcon, navy blue and black intermittent, symmetrical design racket frame, there are red colour block embellishments, there is no stunning place, but it is very durable. Victory has a real knack for racket frame design, with the circumscribed box frame on the T head to the fluid box on the two wings to the very sharp windbreak at the top, giving a smooth feel. Rumour has it that a whole range of Hayabusa’s have quality issues, with lots of collapsing breaks, and time spent in doubles, it’s better to be advised not to get too on top of them.
The use of two classic techs, Bellow Carbon and Strong Heart Fill, backs up the Falcon and is trustworthy. The feel in the hand does have a head heavy feel and is overall solid. Despite the fact that the hardness of the middle shaft is officially marked as stiff, and Falcon has not lengthened the middle shaft too much, the overall hardness does not feel high when swinging in the air, and the deformation of the middle shaft can be felt when swinging. The wind break at the top is very strong, and with this swing speed you’d have no problem with me using it as a speed racket.
The elasticity is noticeable, and noticeable here has two meanings. Firstly, it’s very flexible, the string is vbs70 which I’ve been using lately, and combined with the Paro carbon, you can feel more feedback from the racket on the ball, it’s not wooden. Then the elasticity is easy to play out, combined with the appropriate head weight feeling of a high shot of power can also be felt in the middle of the rod deformation, the overall difficulty of getting started is still not high. This is rather a more puzzling point, although not as soft as the js12td, but the obvious feeling of sugar water is still a bit disappointing to me. I surmise that the new state of the shot does achieve nominal stiffness in the mid-shaft, but the stiffness of the mid-shaft declines after the opening shot.
Talking about the performance of the downswing, it does have the signature performance of a mid-range sugar water racket, the downswing is there and it plays well. Those familiar with the frame shape should immediately notice that the racket is a large flat head, and the further increased sweet spot makes the whole racket a hit-or-miss affair for advanced players. However, the Columbia series in the same price range directly outclasses it in terms of kill quality.The TK Falcon has a nice and pleasant feel to it, and the consistency on the attack or draw is well supported by the performance, but the kills in the higher end of the game don’t feel that great when they are being defended up all the time. Suggest pulling a traditional offensive line boost.
But it’s really already a very usable racket, with such a large sweet spot that significantly aids in both net and backcourt control, with a high degree of forgiveness that is on par with the Godspeed series. The ball is not a very dry type of shot, and the moderate feel of the hold boosts the user’s confidence in both slingshots and rub-and-release. This racket, again, is very versatile and I don’t know if there is a 3U version, but if there is it would be good for singles.
A lot of ball players in this budget tend to be hesitant little kid small falcon god speed 50 how to pick the problem, three are tried, I can give personal to the reference opinion: single shot kill ball quality kid higher, falcon win in coherent pressure, and god speed 50 has a better all-around coherence, the use of the threshold of the kid is greater than the falcon is about equal to the god speed 50, the swing speed god speed 50> falcon> kid. If you are a strong, singles or mixed doubles player, I personally prefer the Kid; all-around, play with patience, follow the ability to hold the long or want to touch the fish with the Godspeed 50; Falcon, recommended for the ability is still in the ascendant and want to play offensive players.
One other thing I noticed during the review was that after using the mid-range rackets back, I wasn’t happy with the kill performance of any of them, which was obviously biased by the Columbia series ……
