Victor Super Wave 32 - Badminton Racket Specification

The Victor Superwave 32 uses Inner Wave and AeroDynamic design to give this racket a nincreased sweet spot and a greater power when hitting. The integrated design of AeroDynamic frame and interior wavy groove increases the compressive strength of the frame 15%, 10% torque and deformation resistance, 20% impact resistance than original Super Wave. The flexibility of the frame and the frame and the explosive strength, offensive, speed are improved, also increases the shock-absorption, more stable and accurate in playing.

This racket is is an official racket for the Korea National Team.

VICTOR SUPER WAVE 32 FEATURES: 

E-TITANIUM

E.TITANIUM technology combines the titanium alloys, generally used by the aerospace industry with carbon fiber, creating strong and stable composite. With E.TITANIUM technology applied on the frame head, it's improving the racket inertial and overall swing weight, making it easier to launch a powerful smash.

SUPER WAVES

The latest inside frame design gives the racket a longer bed resulting in higher repulsion, giving the frame a very offensive advantage and more accuracy. The Inner Waves technology lengthens the string, with 5% extended sweetspot, significantly reduce shock, provides more maneuverability and face stability.

AERO DYNAMIC

The elliptically-shaped section can decrease the air resistance, provide higher anti-torque, maximize control and vastly increase the speed of returning hit.

NANO TEC

The NANO TEC technology works by evenly distributing nano-sized particles in the vacant space between carbon fiber bundles, this highly increases the overall stiffness of the carbon composite fibers, and reduces the distortion of the frame.

SQUARE HEAD SHAPE

Offers 32% larger of sweet spot to the racket, increasing the accuracy of continual smash.

SERIAL TRACK SYSTEM

Gives additional T-Jointsupport giving the racket extra torsional stability.

DIAMOND SECTION

The new Diamond shaped frame is a combination of traditional box frame with previously stability, power and control.

POWER-BOX FRAME

The power box frame uses a specially designed box frame to increases the rackets torsional stability and allows for higher stringing tension.

SLIM SHAFT

Slim shaft rackets offer a slim of 7.0mm, increasing the swing speed.

SQUARE HEAD SHAPE

Offers 32% larger of sweet spot to the racket, increasing the accuracy of continual smash.

SERIAL TRACK SYSTEM

Gives additional T-Joint support giving the racket extra torsional stability.

Background
As I work for a badminton retailer, I am occasionally asked to review other manufacturer's racquets. Against this backcloth, I recently tested a Victor Bravesword 10 badminton racquet and got a huge surprise.
A few years ago, the Victor brand was extremely small in the UK, mainly considered a European brand. We knew very little about their products and level of quality. That changed just over a year ago when it was announced that they were the new sponsors of the Korean National Badminton Team. This was a serious leap forward for Victor and ultimately gave them an international seal of approval in terms of quality. After all, if a racquet is good enough for Lee Yong Dae, current Olympic Mixed Doubles champion and World Mens Doubles Silver Medallist, and his team, then it must be good!
On to my review...
The Victor Bravesword 10 is the "second" racquet in the Bravesword series, the cream of the Victor badminton range, sitting either side of the 9 and 11.
It's a good looking racquet in charcoal grey, with flashes of red, white and what looks like a hologram strip along the side of the head. It arrived in a full length bag in red with the name on the bag to differentiate it from the 9 and 11. This is a high quality full-cover bag too, nothing flimsy here.
Grip size is G3 which is the smaller of the two grip sizes on Victor racquets. It's equivalent to a size 3.5 inches or Yonex G4, which is a bit confusing. Weight is 86g. Interestingly, this racquet has a maximum recommended stringing tension of 30lbs so it's got to be very strong and should be extremely popular in the Asian market where strings tensions are so much higher.
This is a fairly even balanced badminton racquet, slightly head heavy, but not too much. The shaft is designated stiff.
Usually when I test and review racquets, I like to play with the racquet factory strung. On this occasion, the Bravesword 10 had been custom strung to around 26lbs. Rather than be disappointed, I was absolutely delighted and you will see why when you read on.
Bravesword technology revolves around the shape of the frame - which is actually the shape of a sword. And this racquet certainly sounds like one as you can hear it cut through the air!
Overhead Performance
Do you ever pick up a racquet and just know it's going to be good? When I walked on to court with Bravesword 10, I had one of those moments.
The first hit confirmed that this badminton racket had that special quality. Clears were effortless and there was plenty of touch for drop shots. The racquet really cuts through the air quickly which allows for great speed, although the control is still there. The string tension felt "right" for this racquet. Sometimes they can be strung too tight that it's harder to generate power. It would be exciting to experiment with string tensions on this racquet as I feel it has got even more to offer.
There's a little weight in the head, which is good as you can feel the flow of the racquet in the swing, and enhances performance and control.
The combination of the air resistance qualities of the racquet, the stiff shaft and the slight weight in the head, generate a lot of power. Yes, this is definitely a powerful racquet.
Defence
Defensively this racquet was easy to use. Again, the air resistance qualities of the head made the racquet easy to manoeuvre and the slight weight in the head was insufficient to counter this speed. In fact, the combination worked very well indeed as you felt there was some meat behind drive returns.
Net Area
A racquet that performs well in defence always performs well around the net area. After all, we are talking about generating controlled racquet speed here, in very short bursts with the slightest touch for the really tight net shots. Again, BS10 was outstanding.
Summary
It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of testing another manufacturer's racquet of such quality. The Bravesword 10 was outstanding in every area I tested. RRP is £109.95 which is incredible for a racquet of this quality. Retailers will discount to under £100 so you're getting an absolute bargain here.
The Bravesword 10 has the accolade of being my first 5 star racquet in the Victor range and also my first 5 star racquet out of all the other manufacturer's ranges I've tested. Credit to Victor here for producing such a brilliant racquet.
There's no question that the Victor brand is now world class. Whilst it's relatively unknown in UK at the moment, I'm sure that their quality and pricing will easily find a way into the market. You'd be wise to test Victor's Bravesword 10 if you can find one, because this level of quality deserves a place next to the most well-known brands.
