Badminton Racket Victor THRUSTER Onigiri PRO Reviews
Foreword in brief:
To be honest, I can see the shadow of several classic violent rackets in this racket, VT80 (Power Triangle System), 100ZZ (thin center + narrow frame + full line groove), ZF2 (high balance + spiked), N901 (soft center is good to drive), but the difficulty of driving it is much easier than the previous heavyweights… Maybe this is ONIGIRI! Maybe that’s why this ID is so popular among amateurs, not because of its outstanding value or high price, but because of its simplest and most direct proximity to the public and its violent gene in its bones…
The main article try to play experience:
The first generation of ONIGIRI since 2015 since the listing of the amateur attack enthusiasts love, 6.4mm slim center pole and M46J + M30J material combination, in that year can be said to be the king of the general existence of the bomb, like from the future through the product, after all, the same period of time will be all the black science and technology is almost set in one of the offensive king of the second brother-in-law’s center pole is also only 6.6-6.7.
The playability and feel of the 2018 Green Ghost Center was further enhanced by upgrading it to include Bai Luo carbon. Although the ONIGIRI is in the PRO level (professional level) in the Victory’s official website, the ONIGIRI and THRUSTER RYUGA both belong to the Victory’s sub-high-end from the price positioning point of view, and the ONIGIRI’s pricing is also slightly higher than the THRUSTER RYUGA’s generation. And because ONIGIRI due to the lack of a spokesman like Li Zijia as powerful spokesman, looking around the equipment library called out the name of the player also seems to be only a Jorgensen used this racket, resulting in the actual price of entry than the Dragon a more affordable.
The reason why ONIGIRI is suitable for amateurs is that amateurs can use ONIGIRI to easily hit a stiff backcourt attack, and the moderate middle stiffness of the shaft is also visible to the eye on the high distance shots. Although the upper limit is 4U specification, but the hand swing weight is not low, is indeed a very offensive attribute of the racket, a lot of doubles backcourt turret also love.
The new ONIGIRI pro price of 1660, origin Nanjing, than the old price increase of a premise, retaining the Blue Ghost Bailo carbon at the same time new WES2.0 and FREE CORE suspension technology handle, and optimize the frame type, reducing the thickness of the original frame, further increasing the swing speed of the racket. Blue factory will be a lot of previous high-end racket technology gradually decentralized to the second high-end, mid-range and even low-end, such as Bailo carbon, levitation handle, whip gain system, etc.; so that players with a limited budget to further experience some of the high-end racket playing feeling, this point is very good, I personally expressed strong support for a wave. Although the red and green factories also have part of the high-end technology decentralization, but always feel stingy, not open.
Technology additions are not much, but to my surprise is that the designers are very precise to improve the early generation ONIGIRI was criticized by some of the pain points, it seems that the designers of the three major manufacturers are also paying attention to the feedback of the players’ problems, and become more and more mature and efficient. Why efficient, although the first generation of blue ghost in the amateur reputation is not bad, China feather rating close to 9 points, but there are some practical problems, such as the appearance of the paint monotonous; plastic feeling strong, more than the attack ball control is not enough, swing speed is slow, vibration of the hand.
So the ball players to go to the equipment library review must be objective and fair, the shortcomings found in the positive feedback, the advantages are not exaggerated, shortcomings are not hidden; so as to promote the next generation of products can be accurately improve the experience of the players can be more and more good.
In terms of appearance, the new PRO is Blue Green, a bit of Tiffany Blue. To be honest, this kind of broken style of paint is not good to see first, but in the field of recognition can not be said to be not high, if you want to become the brightest boy on the field, a ONIGIRI should be an essential equipment. Racket frame on the 6 o’clock 10 o’clock 12 o’clock and 2 o’clock position to join the appropriate orange and yellow stickers and a hint of grass green, details are further enriched, compared with the old model to enhance the sense of high grade, color scheme to retain the ONIGIRI generation of the premise of the iconic paint without becoming very jumpy, the middle of the stick of the THFUSTER K using red font is particularly eye-catching, the letters of the ONIGIRI PRO instead of appearing very low-profile. On the other hand, the letters Onigiri PRO appear very low-key. But look closely at the paint and sticker quality and workmanship seems to be compared with the old model improvement is not obvious, not the top of the blue factory, can be said to be only a distant view can not be desecrated, although compared to the generation of ONIGIRI decapitation of plastic feeling has receded, but used to playing the red factory artwork level of paint may be difficult to accept the ball players. However, the racket is always used to play, good play is the hard truth… beautiful skin is the same, the interesting feeling of playing is one in a million, think of this, pull the line!
Parameters of the suspension handle for the extended 210mm design, the length of the middle shaft 210mm, material for the high tough carbon fiber + PYROFLI + HARD CORED TECHNOLOGY; increase WES2.0; forward grip can be more convenient to take into account the speed of the ball in front of the control, the middle shaft hardness marking parameter for the middle, the racket frame material: high tough carbon fiber + PYROFLI. pull line. BGAB 24/26 pounds white green, fresh and elegant. The use of the state without the installation of the original rubber, 4-layer cushioning film plus poly will be milk rubber weight 88.02g, balance point 315mm, light on the hand at the same time the swing weight is not low, is definitely the parameters of the violent attack.PRO frame and the center stick are used to the PYROFLI carbon, racket frame 76 holes in the design of the area is slightly smaller than the conventional large racket frame racket, the two sides of the part of the narrowing, similar to the frame of the 100ZZ. There is no carbon grade in the advertised material, the center stick is officially announced as 6.5mm, and the thinnest part of the actual test is also 6.5mm.The frame is a fluid box frame, and the full line groove design still retains the short connecting spikes in the 5/7 point position. The overall thickness of the frame is thin, the thinnest point is 6.0mm at 12 o’clock and 6.5-6.7mm at the rest of the position, the swing speed is faster than the traditional fluid box frame, the swing speed of a single racket is faster than that of ONIGIRI, and in the case of continuous striking, given the high balance point, the swing speed is slightly faster than that of ONIGIRI, so it can be said that it has taken both the stabilizing and swinging speeds into consideration to a certain extent. A generation of ONIGIRI when used without careful measurement, PRO’s racket frame has the existence of a similar Power Triangle system, ten points two points and T head six points position than the rest of the frame is more full, the thickness of 11mm or so, while the rest of the frame is measured in the 10mm or so, with the hand touching can be clearly felt, 4UG5 specifications warranty poundage of 29 pounds, 5U is 27 pounds.
In terms of feel it’s worth detailing the difference with the older ONIGIRI.
The PRO has a moderate center pole, and the actual hitting feeling is moderately hard, and the hardness is basically equivalent to the JS2SP that I commonly use in doubles, compared to the generation of ONIGIRI, it is better to kill the ball with the support of WES2.0, and there is more of a hard bouncing feeling. The old Ghost had a feeling of pressing down and not being able to get back up, while the PRO had a very obvious rebound after hitting the ball. The suspension handle perfectly solves the problem of hand vibration, shock absorption effect is obvious. The old ghost can obviously feel the irregular shaking of the racket frame after hitting the ball, probably because the head is too heavy and the center stick is too soft. On the other hand, PRO can only feel the regular up and down swing of the frame and the obvious rebound of the center stick after pressing down, which is much more coherent than Old Ghost. Big power shots are the strength of this racquet, and even a novice can hit big shots with it. The difficulty of driving the center stick can be said to be very low, and it is easy to borrow power for both forehand and backhand. The frame is moderately stiff and wraps around the head of the ball to create a powerful projectile. The small power technology due to the shape of the racket frame has a similar feeling of 100zz, slice is more difficult to grasp the point of impact, skateboarding and split hanging error rate is slightly higher than my commonly used large frame racket, and singles fast point hanging, fast hanging to hit the landing point of a shallower, or the effect of the collection of the hanging is more desirable, it should also need to be further adapted to.
Defensively, because of the soft spring in the middle, the single shot catch kill top backcourt is relatively easy, but continuous backhand defense is not a small burden on the wrist, after all, this racket is not a low swinging weight, catch kill blocking the net feel outstanding, better control, suitable for singles pulling and hoisting the raid is not suitable for doubles defensive counterattack, doubles attack is the right way to open it. Backhand and forehand picking basically no difficulty, straight line precision in place, slash need to add a little control. If it is a mixed doubles violent man has a girl to guard the front of the net, or singles net control strong offensive players, this racket I can not imagine how cool.
Racket can drive is the king of the road, playing not move the racket even more expensive and good-looking is a stick of iron, perhaps it is just missing a spokesman, and real professional players will not be easy to choose this kind of soft mid-pole racket, after all, not everyone is Fu Haifeng, but instead of wanting to violent offense of the amateur players but it is very worthy of a try.
