Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лют 2023
- I review the Victor Thruster Ryuga 2 head heavy badminton racket and compare it alongside its previous generation Thruster Ryuga 1 badminton racket. The Thruster Ryuga 2's headline player is Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia but is also currently used by Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo of Indonesia.
This is an easy power badminton racket which is much easier to play with compared to its previous generation model. Watch to find out what else has changed.

Can you Do a review of astrox lite 27i
Can you do a review on victor thruster TTY
I swear, I was looking to buy either one, and you come out with a review! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
finally, the ryuga 2 thanks for the review, love it 👍🏼
My pleasure!
As usual, I enjoy every time you release new video! You have very positive review here. How do you find it against your trusty 88DP? Would you change it? And how do you compare it against Arc 11 Pro?
The 88D P is still faster (only just) and that bit stiffer which I love anyways so it’s all good. Not changing 😂
thanks for the review
👌👌😊😊
What a great review indeed, maybe u can review 90k ii and give some opinion
Hey CK, love your videos! I can’t wait for you to review the new Ryuga metallic and actually doing comparison with both Ryuga 1 and 2! just like how you did with the nanoflare series. Pleasee do the Ryuga series review!!😂😂
Coming soon!
FINALLY! THANK YOU!
😊
Great review once again and you compared to the Thruster F enhanced edition, would that be a 3u or 4u as I have the 4u TKF which I love but I was wondering if a 3u version would be more powerful as it plays to me like the nanospeed 9900 3u what is your opinion
Need to pull out my shaolin soccer bluray, one of my favourite movies, another good review ck 👌
It's so good!
@@CKYew I've been waiting for Steven chow to release a movie for so many years, don't think it's gonna happen, Kung Fu hustle was another great movie that's pretty well known in the west but some of the older ones like fight back to school and from Beijing with love are absolutely hilarious and his last movie cj7 was good aswell for those that are interested.
Good to see you in action at the courts CK, I take it your knees have fully healed?
Terbaiklah ck...tak pernah mengecewakan...
Terima kasihhhhhhh 😊😊
How would you compare this to Thruster F enhanced edition? :) I am currently leaning more to Thruster F, but I worry if Thruster F could generate a good amount of power. Tthanks! :)
nice review. i only wished u enlightend us more about the differences compared to the 1 like difference in power. lately ur reviews are too much explanation in specs and the last 2 min u finally start talking about its performance. thats just my take. furhter more i got the ryuga 2 too. its the first racket i bought that has that easy power and is in range with the ZF2. its much easier than the astrox thats for sure.
Great review ...will u review The Upcoming Ryuga TD?
what does td mean?
I have the Ryuga 2 and like it a lot! It's easier to play with compared to the 100zz. Currently my favorite racquet.
Niceeeeeee 👌
How would you compare the stiffness to the 100zz?
it doesnt feel as stiff as the 100zz
nice i am gonna buy it this month
For intermediate to professional level, what racket would you recommend? The 100zz or Ryuga 2?
Great review like always! Anyway would like to ask random question here.. Do you know a racket that has the closest characteristic with astrox 77pro from victor brand? I just love how it is so accurate, consistent, fast and powerful..
auraspeed series might be helpful for u or latest drivex
For me, the Ryuga 2 has received the treatment similar to Yonex's Voltric Lin Dan Force to cater the requirements of recreational players. It's a bit softer, much more accessible in terms of power & less difficult to use. I own a VTZF-ii and it's very hard to use it properly. 😂
True, I enjoyed the lin dan force so much as a casual player.
Yep! I guess there’s more customers than pro players 😂
@@CKYew This is definitely it. Athletes will always choose the stiffest ones, and usually the ones with the heaviest heads as well. They have the training to support and maximize the use of those rackets.
Not only Dwi Wardoyo, Indonesia's mens double Kusumawardana and Rambitan also plays with Ryuga II!
Niceeeee 👌👌🔥
Hey CK, I just bought a ryuga 1 recently. However, I have my suspicions that the racket might be fake. The racket doesn’t feel as heavy as people describe it as, and after comparing with the 99 pro (which people usually say feels similar), it feels way too light. Furthermore, the serial # doesn’t begin with TW, CN, or CA. It begins with “NAT”, which i’ve never heard of. The smashing does not feel nearly as satisfying as any high end racket, which I feel like is strange. Is it possible to tell if it is a fake with these details? Thanks a lot!
Hey u can the authenticity of a Victor/Li-Ning/Yonex racket by removing the original grip and check whethers theres a sticker that writes the racket name and spec,, it is authentic if theres such a sticker on the wooden handle. Hope this helps.
Can we get a review video of LINING AIR FORCE 79 G2?
Please do the review on Victor drivex 9X. So much love and support from France 🇫🇷 ❤
It’s coming soon!
I am confuse which what different between ryuga 2 vs ryuga 2 TD..feel ? Materials ?
I just tried the 3u version yesterday, i find that the 3u feels like 4u when you hold it and swing it. It is very forgiving. Like you said, it feels “spongy” .
Thinking of getting 1, but will it feel harder if i use hard feeling string at 28lbs?
Amazing video, just had a question tho
Is there any discernible difference between astrox 88s game and 88d game and if at all what is it?
Cause I'm confused between the two
Keep up the great work in the badminton fraternity and best wishes!
I've made a fair few videos about the Game rackets too so maybe check them out?
@@CKYew Yes, I've seen all your videos on the s and d astrox line series
But there's no video for a direct comparison of s game and d game racquet so had to ask your opinion on it?
Would you say its more user friendly than the 88D Pro?
Between the ryuga 1 and the ryuga 2 which racket is more powerful
hi ck , what string do you recommend to use on this racket ? i used to use bg 66 ultimax on my astrox 100zz
Exbolt 65 is a beast combination with Ryuga 2
How does it compare with Astrox 99 pro?
I already have Astrox 99 pro and was thinking of upgrading to RYUGA 2 or Astrox 88d Pro as secondary racket.
Which one do you prefer. Tkf EE or ryuga 2?
Which feel similar to 88dpro
I broke my ryuga 2 after 2 weeks, its on 28 tension and i havent have any mishits that often, i read about the frame durability and turns out its not only me have this experience, any thoughts?
Eeekkkk 😬😬 did you had a clash too?
I have this racket, in terms of playability it's one of the best feeling and fun to use high end racket, but I'm a bit worry about durability issue. So far I've had no issue with mine, hope it will always be that way 😊
Fingers crossed!! 😬👌
How is now? Hopefully it didn’t break, I’m planning on getting it.
Thank you so much for doing this review, really appreciate it. Also, there is a rumor that the frame gets cracked after a month of two, can you please tell me if it‘s true? Thanks once again, love your content
I dont't know but my friend even found crack after 1st stringing. For this ryuga 2, now still in claiming process.
I can’t verify this as my test model didn’t crack. However, if there’s no clashes, rackets should break 👌
Hello. I just wanted to share my experience. Bought this racket 4U version 2 or 3 month ago, restrung it directly from default to Li-ning No1 @ 24lbs which broke a week ago. After restrung again, same string and tension, I noticed a crack @ 8 o'clock on the frame (I can't tell if it was there before the restrung or not), and finally, the racket totally broke 1 hour later. I didn't recall any crash or anything. So maybe bad luck, maybe bad stringer, or maybe that model has really frame durability problem, I can't tell :/
HI CK, is there any yonex racket which is very similar to this racket? thx
Thruster Ryuga 2 Pro is out, and upgrade with Powering Pro which made the racket more stiff and solid (in theory) 😊
I had mine for about 2 months. Played twice a week, other than some mishits, mine have crashed twice but havent seen any chip on the frame (maybe the crash isn’t hard enough) while my brother’s 100zz have a bit of chipped paint on the frame (due to some mishits and 1 crash). I’ve been using it on 27 lbs tension and haven’t seen any issues on the frame so far (hopefully it stays that way).
Time to get that Premium Racket Protection Tape!! 😂😂
@@CKYew i just got my Ryuga 2 today. I was curious how much weight will be increased, If I use the premium racket protection Tape?
It depends how much tape you decide to apply
@@CKYew assume around 2 tapes to cover the head?
Some players feel some slight difference, others don’t 👌
CK, can i ask for your opinion ? Is tectonic 7C a good racket for intermediate players like me ? Or should i take an aeronaut 6000i ?
You can also suggest me another racket
They’re both good rackets, it’s down what you prefer personally
Hey everyone,
Just want to share my experience with ryuga 2, great racket and all, bought 2 of them in 3U last december in Europe, 1st restringing @13kg fine. 2nd restringing @14kg after one month I had them, one of the rackets broke at around 1 oclock location. Have been also using 3x 88D Pros strung @13kg and no issues whatsoever. So far thats my one and only experience with Victor, but I would not choose to buy it again just because of the hustle praying, it will not brake each stringing. Especially for the price of 159€ I have bought it for. Somehow It feels, there is more than meets the eye, why LZJ is not using the 2 gen aswell...
Anyways, Great vid.
Ooooo, they shouldnt break at 14kg. Did you had a clash of rackets?
@@CKYew Nope, only played singles with it.
@@petrdolecek8835 QC issue perhaps?
How does this compare with the thruster f enhanced?
I recently picked up the Ryuga II and seem to like it a lot. Definitely a fun racket to play with if u have the budget imo
Niceee 🔥
ryuga 2 or thruster f enhanced
what is better?
Would you say 3U and 4U of the Ryuga 2 would make a big difference? I am currently using the 4U Thruster F Enhanced and I feel like I want more power as a rear court doubles player
Did you end up buying Ryuga 2? If yes, How do you feel in comparison to Thruster F Enhanced
@@madhu1987maddy i have used both. Ryuga 2 is not as stiff and has a little lighter head. Def easier to play with but less powerful than the F Enhanced. However, Ryuga 2 does not have a very fast swing speed so in that budget i think the Lining HBT 8000 is a better option
seems powerful
which do you prefer, 88dpro or ryuga 2?
will there be a victor auraspeed 90k2 review coming soon?
It's in the plan! the 90K 2 hasnt arrived in the UK yet!
How does this compare with the Thruster F claw and arcsaber 11 pro?
Please review Auraspeed 90kii 🙏
Yes I saw. I watch a lot ur videos. I just want know top 10 players and rackets
Review Ryuga TD please
Now if they make a 2.0 version with a traditional handle.
for what player is the ryuga 2 and the truster f enhanced?
Is the thruster ryuga 2 better than the auraspeed 90kii ??
Hi CK can you do comparison between victor ryuga 2 and ryuga 2 pro
Hi CK, kinda weird you choose the 3u in ryuga 2, is it 4u in ryuga 2 slightly lighter ?? Thanks for the answer CK.
Unfortunately, the Ryuga and Ryuga 2 is only available in 3u where I am
@@CKYew yea it’s unfortunate that only 3U is available in all of europe, I got a 4U from Malaysia and I have to say 4U is sooo much better. Sadly victor collection here is really limited
Yep, fairly limited indeed 😬
@@CKYew ohh, i see, thanks CK 😉..
I got ryuga 2 3u with me now. If i want to get astrox 88d pro, should i get the 4u or 3u one?
I've changed from Axforce 90 Max dragon to Ryuga 2... It is much easier to play with😆
Niceeee
can i ask for an opinion? i currently have a astrox zz100. i was thinking of having new racket between thruster F and ryuga ll. any opinion between this 2. i know ryuga is a single racket especially and i only play doubles. but some said ryuga is pretty much likely the zz100.
I have the exact same question 😀
How about the different between ryuga td?
Can someone compare the Ryuga 2 to the Astrox 77 Pro? Which is easier to play and to generate power?
review the li ning windstorm series if u can, havent seen much about them
That’s also coming soon! I’ve been hooked up with a few test rackets for them 👌👌
@@CKYew I see, looking forward to them and great review as always
I Just got my Ryuga 2 today. What a beautiful racket it is. I also own a Astrox 99pro. I might be wrong, but Ryuga 2 seems a lil lighter than Astrox 99 pro. Can’t wait to test it on the court. Thanks for the wonderful review.
Yep, it’s more user friendly compared to the 99 pro
Wow this really now put a side by side comparison with the 99 pro. What are your thoughts CK? How would you compare these 2? Ryuga 2 and 99 pro
The Ryuga 2 is much easier to play with compared to the 99 Pro
Yonex Duora Z Strike next please 😢
I am looking to buy a badminton racket which is head heavy but confused between duoraz , astrox 100zz and ryuga 2 which would you recommend i play doubles
astrox 100zz
Please review of astrox 8500tour 😉
@CK Yew your england racket is all 3u ?
My is all 4u and my ryuga is 4u g5 and 31x33
Yep, I believe the U.K. is only getting the 3u models
What the best koh, Ryuga II vs blade 900 max sun?
Blade X 900 Max Sun review coming soon
Lmao I want to get this now so I can be like the villains from Shaolin Soccer
😂😂😂
Thruster Ryuga 2 or Thruster F Enhanced ?
is the ryuga 2 power box frame
Alright Auraspeed 90K II next! 😁
yesss
if you played with 90K, then I have a comparison for you
90K II
Shaft: softer, longer (actually 90K's shaft is 5mm shorter), more head heavy. I feel that I have better power with 90K than 90K II (it's just that more suitable for me, maybe you would see different), and in term of speed game, 90K wins for sure.
Pls compare Ryuga1 with ZF1
How does it compare to ryuga 2 TD?
Brother I have 2000 ruppes which badminton is best my age 21 . I am Intermediate player
The MKBHD for badminton 🏸
Review the ryuga td
Victor rackets has always been plagued with durability issues. The bravesword to the jet speed. All frame issue.
Yes my jetspeed s10 US version has a v shape crack at 24lbs not even a hit on the frame.
it’s mostly the speed frame rackets that have sinking and durability issues, thruster series has much better quality
the reason i choose HH racket because more solid frame
next, Li Ning BladeX 900 Max, Sun and Moon 🥹
😉😉
Bro plz talk about top 10 player what racket they play plzzzz
I’ve published plenty of pro player’s equipment videos on my channel so do check them out 👍🏼
I Ordered Racquet protector Couple of weeks ago. Still Its not Delivered
Hello, have you checked the tracking link? It could be with your local customs or post office 🙏🏻
Whats a good string to use for ryuga II.
Victor 66 nano🔥
ryuga 2 like yonex astrox 99 pro~
still prefer old racket astrox 99~
upgraded racket no longer have the old power feeling
Ryuga 2 or astrox 77 pro for amateur ?
Both are good options, its down to what you prefer
Please make a review of the Yones Astrox 1 DG🥺
Can you review the ryuga metallic
It’s coming 👌
I have ryuga 2, unfortunately after some games the freecore curved 😭, i think wood handle is the best
VIDEO?
@@justpass6473 ua-cam.com/video/CC000pSvNxQ/v-deo.html
I saw that some Ryuga 2 said made in Taiwan on the shaft, and some said made in China
Edit: Also yes, Shaolin Soccer is certainly a classic 🤣🤣
I’ve not seen one that’s made in Taiwan atm but yes! Shaolin Soccer is legendary 😂
@@CKYew Ryuga 2 that's made in Taiwan is a thing, but I'm currently at Taiwan so I don't know how it goes anywhere else.
indonesia has made in taiwan
how does the ryuga 1 and 2 compare to the yonex astrox 99 pro?
Ryuga 1 is close and similar feel with Astrox 99 Pro. The difference I guess Yonex is a bit stiffer, and Ryuga there are 3 version of 3U 4U 5U.
Ryuga 2 is quite different than those two.
The Ryuga 2 is easiest to play out of them 3👍🏼
@@CKYew I am totally agreed. The Ryuga 2 is more forgiving for double player, but those 2 are more suitable for single player.
Would you shift to ryuga 2
No 😂
where can u buy it?
Not sure where you’re based but if you’re in the U.K., Central Sports have it and remember to use my discount code to get more discounts too 😊
Wow
🔥
I would've said it reflects on Beyblade Metal Saga with Ryūga and his L-Drago 😆
😂
Nice ryuga 2
👌
@@CKYew First when use free core with tkfe, it's like magic.
It's stiff racket from specs
If you place your hand on the slightly bottom of grip, it will be flexible.
But if you place on the slightly top of the grip, it will be quite stiff.
Durability of free core in my tkfe still no problem so far for 3 months.
Good to hear that you’re enjoying them
my yonex duora 6 handle broke , its 3u 4g ;(

thruster f enhanced or thruster ryuga 2?
both are great, it depends on what you prefer
@@CKYew what is the ryuga 2 for and thruster f enhanced?
Free Core user here. Its trash had 2 Thruster F Enhanced for 3 months before both started to rattle and twist at the cap.

Really?? 😱 Just bought myself a Ryuga 2, have been using it for the last 4 sessions and so far so good, I really hope I won't get any issue 🤞
May I ask if the ryuga 2 is supposed to be made in China or Taiwan ?
Man do i have a hard time choosing which racket to buy. This ryuga 2 or the tkf enchanted edition.
Gotta have them all 😂😂
ryuga 2 also head heavy?
