Victor Thruster RAPTOR C Badminton Racket - Frame Only

Overview

The Victor Thruster RAPTOR C is tailored for aggressive, attack-minded players who demand explosive power. Its slightly head‑heavy balance and stiff frame give you the speed, hit power and precision to dominate rallies, while the unstrung frame lets you customise stringing to your preference.

Key Technologies

Tri‑Formation Frame

Engineered via computer‑simulated optimisation to maximise sweet‑spot size and stability for powerful, accuracy‑driven attacks.

High‑Resilience Graphite + PYROFIL + Hard‑Cored

Premium carbon blend reduces vibration, boosts durability and enhances shock absorption for a more refined feel at impact.

6.5 mm Highly Anti‑Torsion Slim Shaft

Thinner, torsion‑resistant shaft improves swing speed and flex stability for crisp, dynamic shots.

Free‑Core Injection Handle

Non‑wood moulded handle allows smoother shaft movement, enhancing stability and feel during fast swings.

Pro / Player Review

Strengths: Offers excellent power for smashes and clears thanks to its output‑focused design and stiff flex. The slim, torsion‑resistant shaft enhances swing speed and contributes to a sharp, crisp stroke sensation.

Weaknesses: The stiff frame may feel less forgiving on defensive play or off‑centre hits. Some players note slightly reduced feedback compared to more control‑oriented Victor rackets like the Auraspeed or Thruster F Enhanced.

Suitability: Ideal for strong club or competitive players who prioritise fast-paced, offensive doubles or singles play. Less suited for those who rely heavily on touch shots or defensive rallies.

Comparison: Compared to Victor's Thruster F line, the RAPTOR C is more attack‑focused and less skilled in soft touches. Players seeking all‑rounder versatility might prefer the Auraspeed HS+ or Thruster F Ultra.

Q: Is this racket suitable for doubles?

A: Yes - its head‑heavy balance and stiff flex give you power at net and mid‑court, ideal for rapid-fire offensive exchanges.

Q: What string tension should I use?

A: You can string it as high as 32 lb (3U) or 31 lb (4U). Most players prefer 24-28 lb for control, while advanced hitters may go higher for extra repulsion.

Q: I play slower rallies - would this racket suit me?

A: It may feel stiff and less forgiving in slow or defensive rallies. Consider a more balanced option like the Thruster F Ultra or HS+ if you need more manoeuvrability and feel.
