My second of my 3 VICTOR rackets. The Super Inside wave 32
I had high hopes for this racket(Again not hatred for yonex - just want too see if other brands have a chance against all all dominating yonex). At first sight I was amazed , the beutiful golden racket was superb. :D . But that was only the paint job... Put it to the test shall we?
The technical stuff:
The current racket of badminton singles legend Cheng Hong. This Asian design racket is has our Inside Wave Technology in the head of the racket
Shape: Isometric
Weight: 88g
Flexibility: Stiff
As I picked up the racket - I could feel a distinct difference between it and my own yonex muscle power 88 racket. The super inside wave 32 was very light indeed. This time to my excitement I liked the feel to it , not like the other VICTOR racket I tested out - the Ripple Power 11. It actually felt really nice.
As I walked into my badminton club with a massive smile on my face - I couldn't help myself but boast about it. But in badminton words mean nothing -the racket does the speaking. :D
So I had all three of my victor rackets for a while , the first I tested was the Ripple Power 11 , now the Super Inside Wave 32 later on I would test the Victor Dual Pipe 9000P. After testing the Ripple power 11 on the monday , the day after - the tuesday I was back at my club with yet again another racket and eager to try it out. I got on court , warming up I could feel a lot more power. This time the strings were 25lbs and the feeling was amazing. My overgrip added a few grams , and I was clearing with ease.
Match time:
This was it , I was going too have my first match , It was a pleasure to play with this fine racket. Unlike the Ripple power 11 this racket had the deadly smash and the excellent drops. To me this racket was really good.
Overall:
Although this racket was quite light at the beginning , after my over grip - It felt to me the 'normal weight'. The power was good , due to the heady heavy balance. The racket overall is an attacking racket , I did find it slightly hard to defend against some opponents though. Overall I think this racket was amazing , and when I finished a point the glistening golden paint shined in there eyes. ;-)
*********
Rating - 9/10!

It had to be 9 , I wanted to give it a 10 but a 10 is not easily given from me this is a very good racket but its price tag is still quite high at £90. I see why Chen Hong did use this racket. :D
