Victor Thruster F C Ultra X – The new powerhouse of the Thruster series. Three variants, three playing styles, one philosophy: maximum power.
The Victor Thruster F C Ultra X is the newest top model of the head-heavy Thruster F C series – and it brings a decisive innovation: for the first time, the three weight variants differ not only in frame weight but also in shaft diameter and stiffness. This creates the perfectly matched power racket for every player type. Played by Jonatan Christie (Indonesia, world ranking No. 5) and Kenta Nishimoto (Japan, as of 05/2025). Colour gold, launched 2025.
The three variants at a glance
5UG6 – approx. 75–79.9 g – 5.6mm shaft – medium-stiff to stiff
The slimmest shaft Victor has ever used in a racket. Ultra-light, fast-reacting and powerful despite its low weight thanks to the slightly head-heavy balance. Ideal for fast doubles players who want lightning-fast drives and powerful attacking play in a single racket.
4UG5 – approx. 80–84.9 g – 5.8mm shaft – stiff
The all-rounder of the series – light, precise and versatile. The Power Ring system at the shaft base optimises the connection between Free Core grip and shaft for maximum elasticity and stable handling. Ideal for both offensive doubles play and singles.
3UG5 – approx. 85–89.9 g – 6.0mm shaft – very stiff
The powerhouse of the series. The stiffest shaft and highest weight deliver maximum control and stability for hard, powerful smashes. With Power Ring Plus at the shaft base for even more elasticity and power transfer. For singles players who prefer a controlled, powerful offensive game.
What technically unites all three variants is the material package of 46T PYROFIL and Nano Aerogel in the frame plus Metallic Carbon Fiber in the shaft. 46T PYROFIL are the highest-grade Japanese high-performance carbon fibres – extremely resilient and yet superlight, with superior vibration damping. Nano Aerogel – the world's lightest solid material – increases frame strength and optimises the weight distribution in the racket head. Metallic Carbon Fiber in the shaft combines carbon fibre and metallic material for maximum elasticity and a unique playing feel. The Tri-Formation frame redistributes the three technologies Power-Box, Diamond-Aero and Aerodynamic across the racket head for optimised aerodynamics, power transfer and stability. Anti-Torsion Enhancement improves torsional stiffness through the coordination of overall weight distribution with Metallic Carbon Fiber and 46T PYROFIL. Hard Cored Technology stabilises the frame through multilayer carbon fibre structures. Free Core is the patented plastic grip that moves more freely than wooden grips – lighter, more durable, with better vibration behaviour.
