  • 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.

    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).

    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.

      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.

    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

      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.

      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.

    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

      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.

    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 ;)

      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 ;)
