[Review Experience] Rapidity in the midst of stability, accuracy in the midst of speed | VICTOR AURASPEED 100X

Jayce September 6, 2024 3 0

Once upon a time, “fast” became synonymous with VICTOR doubles racquets, and the 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 “offense”, “speed” and “stability”, which seem to be contradictory, but have been formed in harmony.

Today, I will share with you the AURASPEED 100X, as a model of the AURASPEED series with an extraordinary 100, it must be more than just fast so mediocre and simple.

The postmodern industrial style cement gray mixed with dappled starlight forms the introverted tone of the AURASPEED 100X, the dazzling red-orange and sporadic pure white signify the AURASPEED 100X’s unwillingness to be mediocre, and the large area of the center tube where the white-orange is fused with each other adds a little bit more recognizability. I have always been in love with the bright and colorful design of the appearance, but for this bias in the cool colors of the Godspeed AURASPEED 100X have a strand of inexplicable irresistible, it is not the kind of will fall in love with at first sight of the rich and colorful, but the kind of lingering rustic.

Detailed parameters

The 100X that I have is 4UG5 specification;
Racket origin: Taiwan, China;
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 encapsulated separately and can be pasted by yourself);
Empty racket bottoming balance point: 310mm (on the line without bottoming wrapped around 3 layers of VICTOR bottoming film 88.5g, on the GR233 hand glue after 305mm);
The official logo of the center tube directly 6.8mm (actual measurement 7.04mm) center tube elasticity 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 Feeling/Technical Interpretation

The grip is moderate, the weight distribution is balanced, and there is a slight head weight. The overall grip can be ranked after the 90K and PB in terms of head weight in the Godspeed series.

Power Windbreaker + Stretch Shield

The StretchShield technology introduces high-toughness glass fiber into the laminated design of the Power Windbreaker frame to achieve better elasticity and comfort when hitting the ball. Combined with my earlier experience with the StretchShield technology in the Platinum Claw, I can clearly feel that the AURASPEED 100X is hard and elastic without any vibration or mute feeling. 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 attack, and brings a powerful attack with continuous pressure. In this way, the AURASPEED 100X can be utilized in the midfield to achieve its “fast, stable and accurate” blocking style.

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 precision of the AURASPEED 100X is not bad, and the stability of the ball can still be guaranteed under fast-paced multi-shot play. However, for singles players who are keen on more delicate net control, the AURASPEED 100X tends to have a weaker ball wrapping feeling under such a sharp and crisp stroke 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 slinging and wrapping and cutting strokes.

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 have a sense of momentum, and the Godspeed AURASPEED 100X in the spectrum of heavy kill performance naturally become 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 coherent feedback after the heavy kill is more comfortable, and the burden on the body of the racket holder after hitting the ball is weaker, but it has not lowered the pointing accuracy of the ball in the slightest, which is different from the whipping sensation of the absolute sudden defense of the ARS-90K, and it is fast, stable, and accurate. AURASPEED 100X is the core attacking weapon of AURASPEED.

Handle Reinforcement – Unleash solid hitting sensation

FREE CORE + POWER RING. After the recall, the AURASPEED 100X is back with POWER RING technology, which makes the overall shock-absorbing effect of the batting feel even more pronounced than before. Adopting Japanese nano nylon material and introducing injection molding technology, it releases the freedom of swinging in the middle tube, which makes the swing smooth and the hitting feeling more comfortable.

Threading Recommendations

Stronger feedback and shorter lag time on the ball bed can help to push the ball forward and downward. However, this also directly leads to the fact that the AURASPEED 100X will need to be adjusted accordingly when dealing with the delicate feedback of the ball, so you can try to match it with a vbs63 string that pays more attention to the elasticity of the handle to improve the feeling of holding the ball. For me, AURASPEED 100X is undoubtedly an excellent doubles speed type of offensive racquet, by its fast ball, accurate landing, crisp feedback, consistent 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 offensive aspects of the 3U specifications can be appropriate.
