Victor Thruster Ryuga Metallic vs Thruster Ryuga Original - Which Is More Powerful?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2023
- I review and compare the Victor Thruster Ryuga Metallic against the original generation Thruster Ryuga. Both rackets were used by Lee Zii Jia who is incredibly powerful and this is a head heavy racket. The Thruster Ryuga Metallic is also the second Metallic racket by Victor after the Drive X 10 Metallic.

Victor Thruster Ryuga 1 review: ua-cam.com/video/5wy2v_cNGY4/v-deo.html
Love seeing racket reviews and comparisons! Do more of these for future videos please 🙌
Looking forward to TTY new Victor racket & old racket comparison video! 💯
I'm an intermediate player, at best, and I recently tested the Ryuga Metallic 4U for 90mins of singles, swapping periodically with a Ryuga 2 (4U) and my own DriveX 7SP (4U) for comparison. I'm also familiar with the Yonex Astrox 88D Pro (2nd gen).
You can immediately feel the head-weight of the Metallic compared to the Ryuga 2 and other racquets; the Ryuga 2 feels more balanced and, to me, quite similar to the 88D Pro. Yet in many ways I found the Metallic slightly easier to play with than the Ryuga 2, particularly with smashes and other power shots, as well as backcourt clears. Drives and net-play felt very 'direct', the shuttle bouncing off the Metallic with sharp and steady propulsion, although the Ryuga 2 provided more feedback (or feel) to the hand. The Metallic was surprisingly easy to manoeuvre given its weight and top-heavy balance, and many strokes required only wrist and forearm flex and not a lot of arm movement. Perhaps that's why I didn't feel much fatigue at the end of the session? My wrist/forearm/shoulder only felt a little more tired than usual (which is to say not very tired at all). Timing was pretty easy to adjust to (the frame is similar to my DriveX 7SP). I also found the Metallic easier to play with than my old trusty 3U Yonex Nanospeed 9000.
Comparing the Metallic to the Ryuga 2, the latter was quicker to the shuttle and control was also better; certainly it would suit doubles better than the Metallic. But for singles I felt a little ambivalent about the Ryuga 2, as it did everything very well but nothing exceedingly so! It's a 'neutral' power racquet, if you like, but I just didn't warm to it. Needless to say I bought the Metallic 4U with VBS-66 Nano strings at 27lbs.
For reference, I'm 6'2", average wrist/arm strength, fairly large hands and long fingers, and the Metallic seems to naturally suit my play. I recently talked to two advanced players at my badminton hall (both of them coaches): one bought the Ryuga 2, the other the Metallic.
A quick word on my DriveX 7SP, which Victor released last year. There's very little info and feedback about this racquet on the internet, but it's a brilliant all-rounder combining balance with power, and it's light enough for doubles. I chose the 7SP after comparing a number of current Victor models-including the DriveX 6SP and Drive 9X: the former was a little too light and flexy for singles (but excellent for doubles!) and the latter felt a little too stiff. In my opinion the sweet-spot in this range is the 7SP (I've not tried the new Drive 10X Metallic).
Wow CK, look at you! You're being sponsored directly from big three's. Congrats man!
Victor and Central Sports provided the rackets for testing but Central Sports also sponsored the video too!! 👌👌👌💪🏻💪🏻
ck yew i really like your videos and all the racket series and i subscribe and btw can you review the li ning challenger series next?
Hey CK, I've been following your videos for a long time now, keep up the good work! I am looking to buy a new racket soon and want to replace my Oliver dual-tec that I got on sale for 30€. I find it lacking in power and a little too flexible. I wanted to ask you if you could make a video comparing the 100, 88, and 99 series game and tour versions (similar to the Play series and Ultimate Power Racket comparison a while back). It is hard to find reviews and comparisons in the mid-range and I think this would help a lot of people other than me as well.
I’ve done individual comparisons of all 3 series alongside their higher end rackets 👌
Hi CK!
I would be extremely interested in a review of the Astrox DG series!!! Although it might be a little hard to buy 😅
Hello Ck Yew, not sure if this question has been asked before. If yes, I'm sorry
Do you have any plan to purchase tool to measure the stiffness of the shaft? Since different brand has different definiton of " very stiffs" it's hard to tell which racket is truly stiff
I might need to start crowdfunding for this 😂
would be extremly interested to see a review on the new Victor Thruster TTY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Oofff that also felt head heavy too 😂😂 I’m currently also testing it so it’ll come when it’s ready 👌
the new TTY thruster is a lot easier to use than the normal thruster F C. the TTY has a really smooth swing compared to the F C. not too head heavy as well. quite easy to use
Hi what do you recommend for attacking player lining 3500 superlite or arcsaber 11 play?
Can you do a review of the lining axforce cannon?
Love ur reviews and videos. Have been following you for the past 2 years. Kudos to adding spec and swing weight numbers into ur videos. Would suggest that u have balance point measurements as well. Kudos for the great work and i will definitely be following you on ur channel.
Balance point is already on the swing weight measurements
Ck can you help me choose between apacs or felet im having a hard time picking which brand
Hai CK, which one pretty similar with astrox 100zz ??? thank's CK ..
You should compare head heavy rackets accros all brands
Same for even ans headlight
Another great video again CK!
I personally have 4U RyugaMT and measured it at about 95kg/cm2 after strung and gripped.
My experience with Victor rackets is their declared spec and their deviation is rather huge. You probably got some "off-spec" racket which is head heavier than usual.
I’ve had a quite a few people tell me that too. 😬 the 4U Ryuga Metallic was certainly a big boi 😂😂💪🏻💪🏻
so its not only me, i been confuse if i have a wrong weight🤣
@@CKYewif i have an off spec one, should i bought 3U? or better have a lighter on which im gonne be have 2 4U racket and hope not gonna get the “off spec” one again🥲
😬😬😬😬🙃
I think you might enjoy the 3u one 😬🙏🏻
Cant wait to hear Drivex 10 met review as this is my daily driver now replacing aeronaut 9k
Am surprised you didnt get the axforce100. That one is a joy to play with.
Is it ? Think to try it later
Can u review like budget racket for example victor thruster hmr.
Compared with Lining 3D Calibar 900C, which one is more head heavier?
should I go for 3u or 4u ryuga metallic? My current racket is the ax99 pro 4u
Hey bro i cant decide beetween the astrox 100 or nanoflare 1000,ive been using a balanced racket thats what im comfortable using bow im changing racket and dont know wich one to get,im looking for faster smash
Of course you gotta go with nanoflare 1000z (the yellow one) it is the best racket overal and easier to use, its only weakness is fragile easy to break than other racket lines (according to some people), astrox 100zz is very hard to use to be honest, i own 100zz Kurenai and it is very difficult to master
What is easier to use compared to the Astrox99pro?
I play the ryuga td and the ryuga 2 but prefer the TD. Is this one close to the td?
Among Yonex Astrox 88d , 99 and 100 which one has the widest frame with largest sweet spot , inshot more forgiving?
99 pro has bigger sweetspot even you miss hit the shuttle, its still going pretty hard, but its head heaviness might not suitable to some ppl
88d is the fastest and more easy power, you know fast but heavy kinda
100zz got compact frame soye
Wooden handles are always the best. In my academy i have seen a free core handle of enhanced edition breaking on the second day of purchase for my friend
review the TD versions of rg1 and 2 please! darn these manufacturers never putting enough info on their rackets and branching families -_-
TD is pretty much the “intermediate” level for the Ryugas - meaning the materials used in TD is softer, hence allowing a intermediate player to use the racket better. However, it won’t bring out the same power and initial design from the original Ryuga 1/2, as the TD materials are softer.
what is the weight of any astrox series 3U racket with Grip and strings? Can an intermediate singles player enjoy it or i should go for 4U?
Please suggest...
its difficult to say since every players physicality is different. you yourself knows whats best for your muscles and technique. if u come from a 4u its better to stay at that weight. if ur up for a change i do feel that this racket is more designed to be a 3u.
Hi Ck, There's a new low/mid-end Victor racquet I want you to review. It's the Victor Thruster Ryuga Cls I would greatly appreciate if you could review it.
And it has a free core handle!!
I just checked Victor’s taiwan site and saw a Truster Ryuga 2 pro that looks similar to the regular Ryuga 2
Can we get a mizuno racket review?😊
I don’t know which racket to buy, NF1000Z or arcsaber 11 pro
do you feel the ryuga metallic is more stable than ryuga TD after doing a smash (i mean, according to some players compliment that after doing a smash the ryuga TD is very shake which make it lost it's precision, especially when you do consistent smashes) is it that shake or it just insignificant shake that nearly doesn't affect your precision's shot
What's your fav rubber grip ?
can you please review the lining halbertec 9000😁
I want to ask why do people use cross tension?
When is the Drive x 10 metallic?
I am right now using the Thruster Ryuga TD in 4U. I like playing defence and offence but I am really slow. I am considering getting a Thruster Ryuga Metallic is it a good idea?
I had tried both ryuga td and metallic, I would say metallic is way more slower than td, but it gives u a lot more power
Pls do a comparison on the thruster ryuga metallic vs astrox 99 pro
Second
Have you heard of the Thruster Ryuga II Pro? Really looking forward for your opinion on it
ua-cam.com/video/LTms1IU9OjA/v-deo.htmlsi=suria_QkEUYN48iG
Creo que te puede servir
@@Kashimo333 no. It's the Ryuga 2 Pro, not Ryuga 2. A whole different racket.
I just tried playing with the Ryuga 2 Pro (4U) - after a few days of playing, I honestly prefer the Ryuga 1 over the Ryuga 2 Pro.
I have not tried the normal Ryuga 2, but I still feel that the Ryuga 2 Pro's shaft is still soft/light and doesn't give me as many solid swings compared to the Ryuga 1. I now get the "soft" feeling that people reviewed about the original Ryuga 2, it's WES 2.0 allows me to drive shuttles at the front rear court and gives my smashes quick speed - but it lacks weight and power in the shuttle during smashes.
Definitely, it's a more optimized racket for singles/doubles for its lighter weight and softer shaft (despite Victor stating its shaft is stiffer compared to the original Ryuga 2) - but I would personally go back to the Ryuga 1 for its original solid + crisp swing and feel in the shaft and the overall balanced weight of the racket with a wooden handle.
@@jincofficial personally, it looks like the Ryuga 1 is much more for singles and the Ryuga 2 Pro is something design for both single & doubles. The Ryuga 2 3u feels lile a 4u =))) pretty light imo with a fairly stiff shaft which - for me - makes it much more suitable for doubles.
When will you review the Thruster Ryuga TD? The orange and white one!
please review Victor Jetspeed S T1 Pro
Please review on Ryuga 2 pro
How does both ryuga 1 and ryuga metallic compared to Astrox 100zz?
What is better astrox 99 pro or astrox 100zz
I've seen yonex nanoflare 1000z in many videos that it got broken easy. The frame it quite fragile. What can you say about it? And can your tape protect it from mild clashes?
Step 1: don’t clash rackets.. they’re not designed to survive clashes.
Our Premium Racket Protection Tapes protect against scratches and paint chips. It might help in a clash but it’s not designed to protect total breakages.
Hey CK, this is Hara from India. Want a suggest from you. Presently playing with the Yonex Arcsaber 7 (Old) at the Club level as you, kindly suggest which other racquet would be the best to replace the Old Arcsaber7, although I still love the racquet but what if I have to replace the Arcsaber7????
The new Arcsaber 7 pro?
No the Old One Ck. Please suggest a worthy replacement.
I’m suggesting the Arcsaber 7 Pro as a replacement 🙏🏻👌
Thank You CK will definitely go for the New 7. 🙏
Hello bro my is dev I'm buying a racket in my budget yonex astrox 88s play . Can you please tell me which type of string can i use tell me brother ❤️
It’s weird. All people I know with Ryuga metallic said the shuttle bounces off super-fast from the racket, quite the opposite from Arc 11 pro.
Everyone feels their rackets differently I guess. My reviews are my honest experiences of the rackets I test. 👌👌
I felt the shuttle bounced off faster on the original Ryuga compared to the Metallic. 💪🏻
i felt the same, it got that shuttle hold feeling which is suprising and i dont like it.@@CKYew
Ive picked up Badminton after like 15 years again, found my old Head Metallix 6k Tour, do you think rackets have made some actual advancement in the last 10 years ? I mean noticeable for an amateur player ?
Over the last 10 years? yep 100%!
hi, im hypernano x20h user (3u). Mostly play allround doubles. i want to upgrading my racket to a higher one (lining, victor, yonex). Thingking to get axforce 90max dragon (3u). Any suggestion? thanks anyway
axforce 90max dragon is best for single, not recommended for double bro. go ahead get a ryuga 2 or the pro version or even the metallic
@@williemquon9284 been using axforce90 dragon. it's powerfull for slow tempo double play. Keeping my hypernano for high tempo double play. So far, i enjoy using 90 dragon
Don’t Believe me, Try It yourself
this is the best racket on planet right now
which one is better 100zz or 88d/s?
Bro how does it compare to astrox 99pro 4u i personally use 99 pro but I feel like the momentum of the shuttle slower does the 68 hole design have to do with this I use bg 80 power at 29lbs I plan to switch with this ryuga metallic what would you recommend me 3u or 4u? Thanks for this quality content bro keep it up!!
If you can or handle heavy rackets without injuries go for 3u, it has better balance than the 4u. 4u one is alot head heavier than the 3u. But if you want to buy it and the store have swingweight machine or bring your own scale to test it first find the one you're most comfortable because mine are a bit different than other people information here. Mine is very head heavy with shorter grips than CK mentioned around 0.8cm. The weight is around 91g. I saw other have 95g on 4u. But i can asure you this is a fun racket to play.
@@sabu8932 is it better than ryuga 1 and 99 pro?? got both of em planning cop this one
3rd time posting this comment. Could you maybe make a video about racquet features? how does one feature impacts the performance of the racquet. I.E. recessed half of the way on the racquet head, what does it do, recessed top and bottom, what does it do, long and short shafts what does it do, smaller and normal and big racquet head, what does it do, etc etc. It'll be much appreciated as I always hear this features mention in your videos but always thought, "but why and how does it affect it" and i'm sure there is someone out there thinking the same. Cheers
it's pretty simple and he mentioned it quite a few times already
- Recessed parts of the frame will be stiffer ( racket head still bend, just not as visible as the shaft ), and with slimmer profile = more aerodynamic = faster/easier swing speed, non recessed parts are the opposite, usually placed at the T joint to make the bottom bend, and could provide more power due to the big boxy frame
- Long shaft = more flex, less stiff, opposite of short shaft. Some manufacturers use stiffer materials ($$$) or they "cheat" by making the shaft shorter to achieve stiffness.
- Smaller head = less resistance, but smaller head will mean small hit zone and harder to hit the shuttle perfectly.
Generally anything smaller while keeping the same mass will make the racket more aerodynamic and stiffer due to higher density
@@JohnDoe-ei5gp yes, wouldn't that detailed explanation of what you wrote plus other features compiled in a video be useful?
I hear you 😂 I read all the comments so I’m aware.
It’s something I’ve been planning to make for a long time but without the proper testing methods and results, many of the findings will be anecdotal which isn’t as valuable in my opinion. Let me take this into 2024 and let me stew on it. I might do a basics video before a deep dive at some point.
Also, making videos are extremely resource and time intensive. It’s not something I can churn out in a few hours 😂😂
@@CKYew Finally, at least there's a reply now haha. Absolutely looking forward for the basics video, and, put it on the slow cooker if its needed 😂

NICE VIDEO, Which Ryuga is your favourite tho?
Ryuga 1 😉🔥
Who is the best racket of 2023
I have both ryuga and my metalic have 1cm shorter handle than my original ryuga.
So this mean that if im someone who prefer a lighter and faster racket it would be better to buy 3U?
You wouldn't be looking at a super head heavy sledgehammer if you're looking for a fast racket 🤣 This is like Thor's hammer, super powerful but not very fast/easy to wield 💪

@@chrismorton4242 thanks
Looks better than original Ryuga, but heard its even more stiffer and head heavy. To the point 4U feels more like a 3U.... definitely not an easy for doubles play.
Yupp, have both the ryuga 1 and ryuga mwttalic and im telling you ryuga metallic feels more heavy than the ryuga 1. And i kinda prefer the original ryuga compared to ryuga metallic since i can generate more power on ryuga 1 compared to ryuga metallic. Both are 3u btw
@@kimjuztin3suar3z67 i agree the Ryuga1 is more whippy and faster. the RyugaM is much stiffer so u do need to adjust the technique a bit with a longer backswing to create power. but once ur used to it then its a lovely racket. its handy to keep ur Ryuga1 around tho ;)
@@michelmc4645 exactly, i think im more used to the whipping feel on the ryuga 1 and i feel more movement on the shaft on the ryuga 1 compared to ryuga metallic. And in my opinion it has the same stiffness as the voltric z force ii. Which is super stiff and it is the stiffess racket if used.
@@kimjuztin3suar3z67 stiffness wise de ZF2 is definately stiffer. the RyugaM is slightly softer than the 100zz. ZF2 is stiffer than then the 100zz but it has the power to back up or compensate for the stiffness. which the 100zz doesnt. The RyugaM is still slightly below these two but it is creeping up to the 100zz but not quite there yet. i feel that the RyugaM just hit the limit in terms of stiffness. perhaps slightly over. but still more smooth and better balanced in all the elements compared to the ZF2 and 100zz
@@kimjuztin3suar3z67 i did enjoy the ZF2 very much but it gave me a long term muscle pain in my forearm XD the smashing feel was too nice. and the bang was so loud. new rackets are more muted when u hit it hard. when u tried newer rackets. you dont want do deal with the stiffness of the ZF2 anymore.
Finally
Finally some legit product from Victor 😂
BEST RACKET EVER
z force 1 reincarnated??? sounds interesting
i played the RyugaM 3u now for a month almost. and i find it surprisingly you said its softer than the Ryuga1.
how i see it. this racket is only an upgrade in terms of power. it is slower than the Ryuga1. and the shaft is way stiffer too. so it does limit the amound of boms u can drop per game. you definately need more strength and stamina. but i got used to it in 2 weeks. when u go back to the Ryuga1 you will miss the power. when the Ryuga1 was one of the most powerfull rackets on the market. you do notice its a lot faster than the the RyugaM.
Overal i would give this racket a high rating for hard hitters and smashers. its a heavy racket but still the weight is very balanced over the entire racket. its not as crazy headheavy and slow swinging like the 99pro. nor is it as crazy stiff as a 100zz. stiffness wise its in between the Ryuga1 and the 100zz. so not as extremely tuned like a 99pro or 100zz.
The Ryuga 2 is still very recommendable after this release for majority of the players. its easier on the muscles with lots of power. if u come from a Ryuga1 i would say only get the RyugaM if u want ur racket to have a stiffer feeling. sacraficing a bit of speed for a bit more power.
in terms of doubles its very good for rear court (RyugaM). to bust through the opponents defenses. i know high level double players that uses it.
hopefully i helped some of u out.
ps: i own all of these racekts and i played them at 13,5 or 14kg ( circa 30lbs ) pre-stretched 10%. Ryuga's i played with vbs 66. i have to .discourage you to put yonex strings in this racket. since yonex strings are very stiff and dont compliment and do this racket justice. i am a yonex fan so pretty biasd. but the vbs 66 is just better. it has much more flex and power than for example an aerobite or bg80. even on high tensions ;)
I felt it differently, I started with VBS 66 Nano on the Ryuga Metallic and felt it was a lot softer before going back to Aerobite
@@CKYew yeah miles can vary. im from the netherlands. and the serial numb says DE. i measured them also next to eachother. my RyugaM is a tiny bit shorter than the Ryuga 1 and 2. so maybe you have a different batch or an early prototype.
also i got to say that the vbs 66 requires a different tension than yonex strings. i feel the vbs can put higher in order to match a yonex strings stiffness. and mine is also pre stretched. so definately some differences there compared to yours.
in my case its undeniably stiffer. so on the bad days it might be handy to have your Ryuga1 around =p the wippyness is also decreased compared to the previous.
but i like this racket overal. i use it as my daily. hopefully LZJ comes back stronger with it upcoming year ;)
If you play doubles, you should play Ryuga MT 4U or 3U ???
@@hoanganhpham1374 depends on your pshycality and what your used to. CK mentioned that the 3u is more balanced than the 4u. And i dont own a 4u version. only played the 3u version. i think its a good racket if u got a powergame technique. wheter its singles or doubles.
so which do you prefer : ryuga 1 or ryuga metallic, and if i'm strong, is the difference between the speed of ryuga 1 and ryuga metallic big or just a little bit
not sure if it's just me or is the ryuga metallic ridiculously stiff. it feels twice as stiff as my 100zz
Twice??!!! How tight did you have your strings strung?
