Victor Ryuga II Badminton Racket

The Victor Thruster Ryuga II (TK-RYUGA II J) is the second generation of Victor's flagship Ryuga power racket. It keeps the head-heavy, attack-first character of the original but is designed to be easier to play for a wider range of players, without giving up the heavy smash the Ryuga is known for.

Compared with the original Ryuga, the Ryuga II moves to a slimmer 6.6mm shaft (down from 6.8mm), adds Victor's WES 2.0 shaft layering for a stronger whipping effect, and gains the Free Core handle for better comfort and feel. It comes in a deep purple colourway.

WES 2.0 — A new carbon fibre layering design that improves anti-torsion performance and lets the shaft flex and recover faster, transferring more power so you can hit at a steep downward angle when attacking.

Box Frame — A box-shaped frame profile that increases stability and resistance to twisting, and allows the racket to handle higher string tensions.

Free Core Handle — A moulded nano-nylon handle core that improves comfort and lets the racket move more freely through the swing.

PYROFIL & Hard Cored Technology — Japanese PYROFIL carbon fibre adds strength and shock absorption, while Hard Cored Technology's multi-layered carbon structure reinforces handling and feel.

Single-Pass Grommet Construction — Reduces friction between strings to limit tension loss and extend string life.

The Ryuga II is built for players who love to attack: singles players who look to finish rallies with the smash, and rear-court doubles players who want heavy, steep shots. It is a little more forgiving than the original Ryuga, but the stiff shaft and head-heavy balance still reward good technique, making it best for intermediate-to-advanced players.

Best for: Power players, rear-court doubles attackers, and players stepping up to a top-tier Thruster.
