VICTOR Thruster F C Ultra CX – attacking play with a stiff 6.0 mm shaft
Setting up attacks, applying pressure from the rear court and placing the next shuttle with control: the VICTOR Thruster F C Ultra CX 4U/G5 combines a head-heavy balance with a stiff 6.0 mm shaft made from graphite, 46T PYROFIL and Metallic Carbon Fiber. This VICTOR badminton racket in black with gold accents is aimed at experienced club and tournament players who prefer firm shaft feedback for attacking singles or doubles play. TRI-FORMATION, NANO AEROGEL and FREE CORE with POWER RING PRO complete this Taiwan-made racket. At Racket World, your preferred professional stringing is included at no extra charge.
Does the Thruster F C Ultra CX suit your game?
A suitable choice for: technically confident players who combine active attacking shots with controlled placement. The CX is particularly interesting if you want a head-heavy racket in 4U/G5 and deliberately prefer a stiff shaft setup. It is also a natural model to compare within the Thruster family for players of the black Thruster F Ultra C.
Less suitable if: you want a flexible shaft, a distinctly head-light balance or a particularly lightweight 5U racket. The CX is not a blanket recommendation for beginners. What matters is whether its head-heavy, stiff setup suits your stroke movement and preferred hitting feel.
What makes the Thruster F C Ultra CX stand out
Stiff 6.0 mm shaft with 46T PYROFIL and Metallic Carbon Fiber: High Resilience Modulus Graphite, 46T PYROFIL and Metallic Carbon Fiber form the material construction of the slim shaft. The combination of metal and carbon fibre adds an elastic material component. PYROFIL complements the construction as a lightweight, high-performance carbon fibre with shock-absorbing properties. The underlying shaft setup remains stiff.
TRI-FORMATION and ANTI-TORSION SYSTEM: TRI-FORMATION combines three different frame structures to coordinate the characteristics of individual frame sections. The ANTI-TORSION SYSTEM, by contrast, acts on the shaft and is designed to limit twisting during force transmission. These technologies therefore address different parts of the racket construction.
Frame with NANO AEROGEL and Nano Fortify TR: High Resilience Modulus Graphite, 46T PYROFIL, Nano Fortify TR and NANO AEROGEL form the frame construction. NANO AEROGEL allows weight to be distributed selectively within the structure. Nano Fortify TR complements the carbon composite in terms of elasticity and impact resistance. HARD CORED TECHNOLOGY completes the construction with a multilayered carbon-fibre composite structure.
FREE CORE with POWER RING PRO: The injection-moulded FREE CORE handle construction gives the shaft more freedom of movement inside the handle and supports a smooth swing. POWER RING PRO complements the interaction between the shaft and handle and is designed for an elastic response. You can adjust the G5 grip circumference to your hand with a suitable grip wrap.
An alternative to the black Thruster F Ultra C?
Enjoy playing with the black VICTOR Thruster F Ultra C and looking for a technically related alternative? With Metallic Carbon Fiber in the shaft, TRI-FORMATION and FREE CORE, the CX shares several construction features. That makes it worth comparing for players who want to stay within this racket family.
The versions offered here do differ: the CX has 4U/G5 and a 6.0 mm shaft, while we offer the black F Ultra C in 3U/G5 with a 5.8 mm shaft. The CX also incorporates POWER RING PRO and a frame material combination with NANO AEROGEL and Nano Fortify TR. It is therefore a distinct alternative, not simply the same racket with a different paint finish.
