I'm 100zz kurenai user dan TK Ryuuga user. But when I tried ARS 100x, it feels so damn good. Now it becomes my main weapon as in single even doubles. Great video dude. TOP.
Best highend racket available in the market for me... With 3u power ring version it's very powerfull for smash... Fast defence good control bigsweetspot
Nice review CK, I agree that it's a very easy to use racquet, fast and smooth with decent power exactly as you have described. Under the rather 'meh' aesthetic is an excellent all round racquet and together with the Thruster F Enhanced, is a return to form by Victor which have not really impressed me with their racquets since the Jetspeed 10S (the blue one, not the red one). Would love to see your review of the Thruster F Enhanced too, which is another very good racquet, perhaps a little closer in feel to the Arsaber 11 Pro based on my early impressions although all three are very good all round even balanced racquets. Keep up the good work !
I'm using one atm. Good for changing minds on shots to play at the last minute but because it's so good at that, it can sabotage the game cause it makes me undecided till I limit my shot options... Wondering if it's more powerful then a Nanoflare 800 in your opinion.
Was using 100zz previously, quite a stiff racket but a powerful.one. Got my new ARS100X, it's a very fast racket definitely. Had my string tension at 29lbs and bit too much for me, planning to change to 27lbs. Hope to see better results. Can't decide my main yet from the two 100s

The one you using for the review is the 100x Olympic Signature Edition, which was with the original settings (without the Power Ring). The shaft is more bouncy, but slightly less stability compare to the Enhanced Version. I am currently using the 3u Enhanced Version (with transparent front and back cap), have to say it is one of the best rackets I have ever tried. At first the shaft is quite stiff, but once you "opened up" the shaft, it is amazing, maybe you should obtain the Enhanced Version and do another review, as the Enhanced Version is the "true form" of the AuraSpeed 100x
The racket you got was the Olympic Edition for Mohammad Ahsan. The one you referred with the translucent cone and butt cap is the standard release of the 100X. Tried the translucent one in 3U and it’s a damn good racket for drives and quick exchanges, pair it with Victor’s VBS-63 and it’s damn amazing. But as a person who uses the gold Thruster Falcon Enhanced, the 100X lacks a bit on power. Regardless 100X is a recommendation for me to a lot of people
After using the 100X-SE for a few months, it's interesting to hear you say its an easy to use racket. I certainly wouldn't agree with that. Being fairly stiff and balanced/head light it's quite hard to generate power with the wrong technique, this isn't a racket I recommend for beginners which is why I'd say its not an easy to use racket. Don't get me wrong, I love this racket and ever since I've used it, I rarely pick up my 88D Pro. For me, paired with Victor's VBS-63 at 29/31 the 100X is an absolute monster, it's a shame we can't buy it over here in the UK. I've ordered a spare 100X abroad and I believe it's the non signed version with the transparent cone, will be interesting to compare the difference as I've heard it feels slightly different and it's a little more flexible.
@@imataquito005 a beginners racket at that price range? Funny guy. Stiff rackets are not recommended for beginners since they do not have the right technique.
@@CKYew can you review Thruster F Enhanced Edition - Hendra Setiawan edition. I know that there are reviews on this racket, but I would like to hear your comparison between both the rackets.
Some said 100x power ring operates very differently from the original.... It's stronger and stiffer... I've never use the original 100x but i own the power ring version and i liked it so much... In 3u i can generate good smash, easy clears but still fast for defence... My perfect racket for me
We have started to get Victor Racquets at our store in India Chennai after a long gap and Thruster F SE is top seller . Sadly we are stock out yet again . aura speed 100x has also being been liked by many . As you mentioned definitely easy to use racquet , can play wide range of strokes with ease , enough power and repulsion for constant attack . Hope Victor would provide 3u 100x which would be a bomb .
Another amazing video once again 🙌🏻.I have seen broken handle before and people complaining about the first release of auraspeed 100x.But thankfully victor made some adjustments.
Coming from ZF1 3u, DZS 3u, 100zz 4u, the 100x 3u gave me more smashing power than my 100zz 4u. Similar solidness but u gain speed advantage with your existing power. I can execute crosscourt slice drop with no timing adjustment and seamlessly, opponents cant predict if you are smashing or dropping.
You asked about Victor Head-light rackets? Victor Jetspeed series is headlight. The S10 is stiff and light. It can still be very powerful with good timing/technique. It is amazing on defense. It is not "easy power." It definitely more effort for full court clears/backhands etc. And you need good technique and strength to get the most out of its stiff frame. I think the S10 has been replaced by Victor, but still my favorite racket. The S10's did break quite easily compared to other Victor's I've had. The Jetspeed S12 was still headlight, but not quite as much as the S10. A bit more easy power at the expense of "very good" defense vs "amazing" defense.
I feel that the free core handles are quite fragile, my friend’s thruster F claw 2 TZY free core edition’s handle broke, it literally bent in half. And my thruster F Enhanced’s butt cap came off and i realised it was die to a small piece breaking, luckily i could fix it with super glue, but still concerning
I got into headlight rackets when I needed to improve my defence. I realised I really didn’t lose much on my smash power and was way more accurate and never looked back. Nanoray 750 will always be my favourite racket, I wish yonex still made it. There’s nothing like it in the nanoflare range at the moment. The 800 is subbing in right now. I’m actually quite interested in the Thruster F Enhanced as I hear it’s quite the all rounder. It would be interesting to know why victor don’t think they have something very head light. Would it be worth comparing how the manufacturer charts compare to the actual products with some weighing and balance tests? Then create a master racket matrix? Or do you think the manufacturers consider aero when building their charts as almost like a secondary balance aspect? Eg it’s actually balanced weight-wise but it’s an aero frame so it goes in the headlight category?
May I ask, how do these newer raquets (in particular auraspeed 100x), compare against the older generation models such as Nanospeed9900 and Bravesword12 I've been using those 2 for a long while and they still feel incredibly great~ Is there much of a difference with the new tech vs the older gen raquets in play and feel?
Hello, may I ask how does it felt if comparing with Arc Saber Pro 11? I tried a lot of Yonex racquet, but I found only arcsaber series can come in handy to me. Am looking for a Victor racquet which is similar with Arcsaber series. Thank you in advanced!
Victor had quality issues with the transparent cone (breaking/cracking easily) and had issued a recall. That's why they no longer have it with the transparent cone.
This racket and the Thruster F Enhanced have been my go to rackets for the last 6 months. Amazingly easy to use for me personally and I can hit all sorts of shot with ease. Definitely recommended!
Hello how would you pick between the two what to use when you play? Are both of them easy to play? I'm also considering buying one of the two? Which woild be a more all-rounder in your opinion? 🙂
@@quackDquack I tend to use my TK-F enhanced a lot more now, in fact I owned 4 of them, 2 in bag, 2 unstrung as backup since this racket is always out of stock and very hard to find. Why this over the AuraSpeed 100X? I think this is (and just like all rackets) more of a personal & subjective choice but I think it is more all rounded and easier to maneuver, it is very easy to do all kind of shots especially the one that require controls, whereas I feel like Auraspeed is really good at power but not as good as the TK-F when playing controlled shots.
@@idj7952 thanks a lot for this. Much appreciated. It's interesring since I mostly read that TKFE is does more on power because it's HH, while 100x is more on speed, and someone having used both of them you had a different experience. If I may ask, how do you play on court, mostly front or mostly rear, or more singles ? Does that somehow make you use the TKFE more?
@@quackDquack I play both front (MD) and rear (XD) however I'd say I am more of a control player, not a power player. What's interesting is that so far I have met about 8-10 other players who use TKFE and only 1 of them don't like the racket, whereas the rest of them like it so much that they, just like me, bought 1-2 more of TKFE for backup because it is fairly hard to find here in Indonesia. As for the racket itself, I think it's very subjective so if possible give both a try and see which one fits you better. As a comparison, my previous go to racket was the Astrox 88D Pro and I just recently sold it. Now what's in my bag are: 2 TKFE, 1 AuraSpeed 100X, and 1 Yonex Nanoflare 800LT.
Thank you for this great video. You are one of them who inspired me to come back to play badminton after I had left it for 10 years with all your great and entertaining clips about badminton! I now own a Thruster F enhanced and looking for another one. Can’t decide between arcsaber 11 pro or auraspeed 100x. I play controlled game most of the time. Any recommendations?
7:00 I disagree with your recommendation on the 88s pro and NF800 as being easy rackets to play with as they both have relatively stiff shafts. I personally would only consider flexible or medium rackets as easy to play with for most people, i.e. beginners to intermediate.
Hi Ck , I have Auraspeed 90k. I love this racket but some reviewers says its head heavy but some say its headlight.I have bravesword too.Whats your take on 90k?
Is this racket easier to play than Arcsaber 11 pro? I quit playing for a long time and i affraid that the stiff racket can effect to the power generate. I play double at front court, I'm confuse between 100x, JS 12 ii and arcsaber 11 pro. Thanks for your video.
@@CKYew Thanks for your answer. BTW I take the Victor JS10 black gold version instead because in my country victor racket is very cheap and Yonex is always much more expensive. Arc11 pro is bout 160USD and JS10 just 100USD, also 100X is 100USD. I found that with high end product they provide much power even the racket is stiff. I had a yonex 68S in the past, it's very stiff and I can't deal with it. Thank you and happy wekkend!!!
What about Auraspeed hypersonic? Just bought a hypersonic B, strung with aerosonic at 27/29, excited to test it out. Have not found any proper review on that racket. Was wondering if you are planning to review it in the future?
It’s been a year so I don’t expect you too respond but how does it go? I’ve been looking for a racket lately and I’ve been thinking about this one. I’m just not sure if it’s an easy and not so stiff racket.
Maybe, if you can get hold to Auraspeed 70K C. (New color, medium flex model) It will be my pleasure if you try it. The racket is used by Aaron Chia before, and now it going super sale on my local shop, £70 you get the racket and victor backpack! Thank you 😀
Any thoughts on how the 100x plays compared to the arcsaber 10? I’ve been playing with the 10 and I’m looking for something similar. I am also considering the arc 11 pro
Hi CK! I read in 9ne of your replies that this is a cross between 88 D pro and 100zz but head lighter? I'm a bit confused. What's that factor then, that made this a cross betweem the two if it is head lighter? Hope to hear from u as I'm about to buy tomorrow .. thank you!!!
hello CK, In your opinion, which one is easier between the 100x and the Astrox 88D Pro? which part of the shaft is stiffer and especially hard which one is between 100x and ax88D Pro? I'm looking for a racket whose shaft is not so hard, more towards the medium shaft. hope you can answer. Thank you
@@CKYew I already have it and I'm reselling it because I don't like the color CK. but overall the new astrox 77 colors are friendly to use. according to personal ck after testing, which one is more comfortable and comfortable between 100zz and 100x auraspeed? the price is the same. I now mostly use astrox 88DP.
@@bangkitpancanugraha623 100zz is definitely more stiff then 100x and 1 notch up from 88dp. If you want very similar racket to 100x but yonex, 7pro or nf700.
@@CKYew Im assuming you also dont know :DD None of my badminton friends seem to know the difference either and Victor doesnt seem to respon on ther Social Media pages :((
Hello CK, I have an issue. There is a slight clicking sound in the cone of my very new astrox racket. Is it something that should be taken seriously, and if so what is solution?
Heyyyy, i think its just the glue where the shaft meets the cone and dont think there's anything to worry about. If you ARE worried, bring it back to where you bought it from and the retailer would be able to take a look for you 👍
Which racket do you think has the similar crispy hitting feel like 100zz other than this 100x? Im looking for a racket that has similar hitting feel like 100zz but easier swing/lighter swing weight 🙏
If you want maximum, crispy hitting feel, look into the Redson Shape SG. It uses a no grommet design on most of the holes (minus the shared ones), so the hitting feelings are quite raw. It also has a lighter swing weight due to a lower balance. Depending on where you live, this brand maybe hard to get, however.
Hey was wondering how it would compare to the nanoflare 800 and arcsaber 11 pro? I was thinking of getting either one of them till I found out the auraspeed 100x and jetspeed s12 ini existed
started badminton with voltric d38, then decided to upgrade with Astrox 100 Game Seeking for control racket with same budget as Astrox 100 Game Any recommendation with Victor racket? I'm an beginner-intermediate player 😄
If anyone can get his hands on a Thruster Hawk E..,pls try it and wiil be pretty much amazed.., falls in between TK-F and TK-FE and if u can string it with Ashaway Rogue.., then u'll fall in love..!!
Do you feel like the handle is flexing when you were swinging and hitting the shuttlecock? Great review btw 👍🏻. You should also try the one with the power ring(transparent cone/bottom cap)
@CK Yew I just subscribed to your channel as it is both informative and enterntaining. I play badminton too although not so good hahaha with my group of friends here in Singapore.

The Victor Jetspeed Series is full of headlight rackets although the JS-11 might be even balanced but I’m not sure tbh.
Yeah, some of the Jetspeeds I've tried are more even balanced than head light 👍
You asked about Victor Head-light rackets? Victor Jetspeed series is headlight. The S10 is stiff and light. It can still be very powerful with good timing/technique. It is amazing on defense. It is not "easy power." It definitely more effort for full court clears/backhands etc. And you need good technique and strength to get the most out of its stiff frame. I think the S10 has been replaced by Victor, but still my favorite racket. The S10's did break quite easily compared to other Victor's I've had. The Jetspeed S12 was still headlight, but not quite as much as the S10. A bit more easy power at the expense of "very good" defense vs "amazing" defense.
please review axforce 90 dragon its similiar to 100zz ! (compact and stiff)
Hopefully soon 😬
What are the differences between the original ars100x and Mohammad Ashan edition? And which one is better?
Ahsan SE version is stiffer and SE only available at 4u. More expensive too of course

Victor’s free core will be applied on Thruster Ryuga II and Auraspeed 90k II with whipping enhanced system II
Looking forward to finding more info with the new rackets too!
Thank you for this great video. You are one of them who inspired me to come back to play badminton after I had left it for 10 years with all your great and entertaining clips about badminton!
I now own a Thruster F enhanced and looking for another one. Can’t decide between arcsaber 11 pro or auraspeed 100x. I play controlled game most of the time. Any recommendations?
I'm glad you're back enjoying your badminton! Both 100X and 11 Pro are good. The 100X is slightly faster but the 11 pro have a slightly solid feel.
What r ur thoughts on the thruster f enhanced?
@@MrWhateverthenameis he already made a video about it you should check it out!
Thank you for your video, CK. As always, great racket review! Would you switch to Auraspeed 100X from your current no. 1 favorite 88D Pro?
Nope 🤣🤣 staying put with my 88D Pros 🤣
Im torn, do i get this, 100x, or the nanoflare 800?
7:00 I disagree with your recommendation on the 88s pro and NF800 as being easy rackets to play with as they both have relatively stiff shafts. I personally would only consider flexible or medium rackets as easy to play with for most people, i.e. beginners to intermediate.
88s pro is not beginner friendly, stiff and shorter shaft than normal rackets, easy to miss hit...
easy to play rackets are def underrated.
Absolutely! They’re gems in the rough
Hi Ck , I have Auraspeed 90k. I love this racket but some reviewers says its head heavy but some say its headlight.I have bravesword too.Whats your take on 90k?
I've not tried the 90K before but I have heard good things about it 👍
Is this racket easier to play than Arcsaber 11 pro? I quit playing for a long time and i affraid that the stiff racket can effect to the power generate. I play double at front court, I'm confuse between 100x, JS 12 ii and arcsaber 11 pro. Thanks for your video.
My question is exactly same. Anyone tried all these can give some input?
They're both great rackets. The Arc11 Pro has more headweight but feels slightly softer compared to the 100X. Its all down to what you prefer
@@CKYew Thanks for your answer. BTW I take the Victor JS10 black gold version instead because in my country victor racket is very cheap and Yonex is always much more expensive. Arc11 pro is bout 160USD and JS10 just 100USD, also 100X is 100USD. I found that with high end product they provide much power even the racket is stiff. I had a yonex 68S in the past, it's very stiff and I can't deal with it.
Thank you and happy wekkend!!!

Which country r u from?

Can you do reviews on Tectonic 7 series? (7,7I,7D,7C). Would love to hear your POV on them.
Are there any differences between ARS-100X SE, ARS-100X H, and ARS-100X? Besides the signature and translucent caps.
Some people swear by it but from me personally, no 🤣
I have doubts about the plastic handle as I usually use very thin griptape. Isn't the sweat going to make it too slippery?
It might do. Otherwise, find a thin PU grip 😬😬
do prefer 100x or the 88s pro?
Enjoyed to watch this review. Great if your team could make one on Victor TKF Enhanced edition too.
More Victor equipment to come 👍
What about Auraspeed hypersonic? Just bought a hypersonic B, strung with aerosonic at 27/29, excited to test it out. Have not found any proper review on that racket. Was wondering if you are planning to review it in the future?
It’s been a year so I don’t expect you too respond but how does it go? I’ve been looking for a racket lately and I’ve been thinking about this one. I’m just not sure if it’s an easy and not so stiff racket.
Can i please ask you, for your opinion which model of victor is a top model for control and even balance? Is the 100x is the one ?
100X is pretty good and so is the Thruster F in my opinion. Do check out my review of it too 👌
Maybe, if you can get hold to Auraspeed 70K C. (New color, medium flex model)
It will be my pleasure if you try it.
The racket is used by Aaron Chia before, and now it going super sale on my local shop, £70 you get the racket and victor backpack!
Thank you 😀
I am pretty tensed up. It's brand new and I like it very much and I don't want it to break on the second day of its use.
Hey i've replied to your initial comment, it should be ok so dont worry 👍👍
Any thoughts on how the 100x plays compared to the arcsaber 10? I’ve been playing with the 10 and I’m looking for something similar. I am also considering the arc 11 pro
The 100X is certainly faster but the 10 feels more solid and stable.
Can u do a video comparison for famous speed racket like nf800 nf700, ax88s pro and some from lining?
I would also put the axforce 80 as a speed racket ✌️
Can you make a review for the victor auraspeed hypersonic ?
Hi CK! I read in 9ne of your replies that this is a cross between 88 D pro and 100zz but head lighter? I'm a bit confused. What's that factor then, that made this a cross betweem the two if it is head lighter? Hope to hear from u as I'm about to buy tomorrow .. thank you!!!
the 100X is a crisp repulsion feeling racket but certainly head lighter than both the 88D Pro and 100ZZ
hello CK, In your opinion, which one is easier between the 100x and the Astrox 88D Pro? which part of the shaft is stiffer and especially hard which one is between 100x and ax88D Pro? I'm looking for a racket whose shaft is not so hard, more towards the medium shaft. hope you can answer. Thank you
Sounds like you're looking for an Astrox 77 👍
@@CKYew I already have it and I'm reselling it because I don't like the color CK. but overall the new astrox 77 colors are friendly to use. according to personal ck after testing, which one is more comfortable and comfortable between 100zz and 100x auraspeed? the price is the same. I now mostly use astrox 88DP.
@@bangkitpancanugraha623 100zz is definitely more stiff then 100x and 1 notch up from 88dp. If you want very similar racket to 100x but yonex, 7pro or nf700.
I have the ARS 90S and 90K both of which are superb. Would like to try the 100X but will have to save some pennies first.
Ooooo, if you loved the 90K, you might also like the 100X!!
I hope you’ll be able to get the Arcsaber 7 Pro/Play and make a review before its official launch. Quite looking forward to this racket. 😌
Good question! I hope to be able to! We'll find out soon enough! 🤣
1:04 Victor’s racket matrixes are inconsistent af. I’ve seen a version that puts the 100x at slightly head heavy and super repulsive.
My 100x is head heavy and super repulsive, i liked it so much, 👍
🤣🤣
😅 u can make it head heavy .. just remove the original grip... Mine was 14g on 100x SE with Ahsan Signature...
Hi! In Victor rackets specifically the thruster series, what do different letters mean? Like what's the difference of a Thruster K vs Thruster F?
Good question!
@@CKYew Im assuming you also dont know :DD None of my badminton friends seem to know the difference either and Victor doesnt seem to respon on ther Social Media pages :((
@@darryltan924 It is actually Thruster K-F for Falcon, Thruster K-H for Hawk (tad less stiff than Falcon) and Thruster K-C for Claw.
Please do victor thruster F enhanced edition, hendra setiawan’s racket 😍
I will do when I can get them. They’re never available 😬
review singkat, padat dan jelas
@@theramadhan6701 thankyou bang 😂😂
Hello CK, I have an issue. There is a slight clicking sound in the cone of my very new astrox racket. Is it something that should be taken seriously, and if so what is solution?
Heyyyy, i think its just the glue where the shaft meets the cone and dont think there's anything to worry about. If you ARE worried, bring it back to where you bought it from and the retailer would be able to take a look for you 👍
I bought it from the online
So I can forget about it?
What is the exact problem with the glue?
And can I permanently get rid of it?
Which racket do you think has the similar crispy hitting feel like 100zz other than this 100x?
Im looking for a racket that has similar hitting feel like 100zz but easier swing/lighter swing weight 🙏
If you want maximum, crispy hitting feel, look into the Redson Shape SG. It uses a no grommet design on most of the holes (minus the shared ones), so the hitting feelings are quite raw. It also has a lighter swing weight due to a lower balance. Depending on where you live, this brand maybe hard to get, however.
Love you video
Please review victor thruster ryuga and li Ning aexforce 90 and compair them with Yonex astrox 100 zz
It depends when can I get hold of these rackets 😂👌
Oh wow, I want to try this now since I love using my NF800.
Yesssssss!!
CK can u do a review on ArcSaber 7 Pro when it released later? Appreciate that. Thank u 😁
Arcsaber 7 Pro?? 👀
When did that become a thing?
@@1Flyingfist recently,it’s comming out in August.They also have a new astrox 77pro
I will do when I get my hands on them. I believe launch date is on the 19th of August
Hey was wondering how it would compare to the nanoflare 800 and arcsaber 11 pro? I was thinking of getting either one of them till I found out the auraspeed 100x and jetspeed s12 ini existed
They're all different rackets, each with its slight distinct pros and cons. Best way is to try them if possible before making a purchase ✌️
@@CKYew hehe yeah I ended up getting the auraspeed 100x and arcsaber 11 pro
Niceeeeee
@@CKYew can't wait for them to arrive soon
How do you compare with arcsaber 11 pro?
This is crispier than 11 pro. 11 pro has lots more hold. This is more repulsive!
@@CKYew sorry, what do you mean by crispier?
What is the difference between the new H version and the SE version you reviewed?
Transparent cone and butt cap?
@@CKYew if that’s the only difference then the SE would be the one to buy because it’s a little cheaper. But the transparent cone is pretty cool lol
Yes, the transparent cone/butt is pretty cool
started badminton with voltric d38, then decided to upgrade with Astrox 100 Game
Seeking for control racket with same budget as Astrox 100 Game
Any recommendation with Victor racket?
I'm an beginner-intermediate player 😄
I havent tested enough Victor rackets yet to give a good recommendation atm but the 100 Game should be pretty good
@@CKYew okayy, many thankss
Waiting for another victor's rackets review on your channel 😄
I want the thruster F review as well please
Lets hope I can get my hands on one soon 🤣
Hello, i want to ask about Victor 100x 4u.. my friend said it's quite fragile little bit same as NF 700 yonex.. is it true????
I’ve not had one break yet so I can’t comment on durability. But if you don’t clash rackets, they don’t break 😬😬👌
@@CKYew ohhh that's nice.. Thnks btw...👌👍
100x 4u vs Bs12 3u Better?
Sir pls quickly do the ax force 90 max both models!!
Arent the tiger and dragon models just paint job differences and are the same racket? 🤣
@@CKYew no sir, the dragon is head heavy and tiger is between head heavy to even balance. If I’m not wrong. 🙏🏽
@@CKYew sir the tiger is medium and dragon is stiff shaft if I’m not wrong
I will certainly take a look when they arrive 💪🏻👍🏼
Mizuno shoes are extremely well built compared to yonex shoes that i feel are just about cushioning.
- wave claw 2 🔥
-Wave fang pro 🔥
Compare to auraspeed 98k?
Which victor model comparable to astrox 100zz? Using 100zz currently and want to try victor
Good question, i havent tried enough Victor rackets yet but I've got the Ryuga and Auraspeed 90K review coming up!
@@CKYew are you reviewing Thruster Ryuga II?
How do you rate the stiffness from a scale of 1-10?
probs a 6
If anyone can get his hands on a Thruster Hawk E..,pls try it and wiil be pretty much amazed.., falls in between TK-F and TK-FE and if u can string it with Ashaway Rogue.., then u'll fall in love..!!
100x vs nf800?
Do you feel like the handle is flexing when you were swinging and hitting the shuttlecock? Great review btw 👍🏻. You should also try the one with the power ring(transparent cone/bottom cap)
I believe my 100X had the power ring. And I didn’t feel the handle flexing or if it did, it felt like it was supposed to 👍🏼
@CK Yew I just subscribed to your channel as it is both informative and enterntaining. I play badminton too although not so good hahaha with my group of friends here in Singapore. I just want to inquire if you have a spare victor racket (aura speed or thruster F) which you would like to sell? I would love to have that 2nd hand racket. Kindly let me know. Thanks and keep up the good work👍🏻
Heyyyyyy good to hear you’re enjoying the videos 😊 also, I don’t sell rackets 😬😬, the only things I sell are from ckyew.com/shop
@@CKYew hi @CK Yew I am actually inquiring if those rackets you have reviewed or those rackets that you no longer use for playing, you can sell to a fan like me to use in my weekend games😂 thanks
Can't seems to find any website that sells this in the UK :(
Yep, and a lot of places abroad too! This supply chain issue is hitting hard 😬😬
Can you share your thoughts about victor brave sword 12
Old school and solid! 👍🏼
can you do a review on the lining axforce 80 4u version.
I have already done that, do check it out
Please review axforce 90 as well 😁
And how does Duora 10 compare with newer rackets ?
Lets hope they have stock of the 90 🤣
Can you do a review of the Victor Thruster Ryuga please ☺️🙏
I will do when I can get my hands on it 👍
@@CKYew Thank you sir :D
Hello CK!
Can you try to review APACS racket? thank you!
👍🏼
@@CKYew Nice! Looking forward to this! Thank you for you contents! :)
The one that you bought was the 100X SE but not 100X so the butt cap wasn't transparent.
👍
Comparable with NF800?
Nf800 faster and smoother 👌
Please do review of victor Auraspeed 90F..?
