The Victor Thruster Ryuga Metallic is a 2023 update to the power-focused Ryuga line and is the racket used by Malaysian star Lee Zii Jia, who used it on his way to the 2023 Arctic Open title. It combines the Ryuga's head-heavy, stiff attacking character with Victor's Metallic Carbon Fibre in both frame and shaft.
The metallic carbon adds strength and a distinctly elastic hitting feel, aiming to pair heavy smashes with sharper accuracy and control.
Box Frame — A box-section frame profile that adds stability and resists twisting on off-centre hits, while allowing the frame to hold higher string tensions.
PYROFIL — A high-performance Japanese carbon fibre composite that is light yet strong, offering good shock absorption and improved control.
Hard Cored Technology — A multi-layered carbon fibre and composite structure, inspired by military helicopter design, that keeps material bulk down while reinforcing handling and feel.
Metallic Carbon Fibre — Thin metal sheet fused with high-strength carbon fibre. In the frame it boosts smash power and frame strength; in the shaft it adds an elastic, lively feel and better force transfer for faster, more accurate shots.
The Ryuga Metallic is built for aggressive, attacking players with a strong, full swing. Its stiff shaft and head-heavy balance reward good technique with steep, heavy smashes, so it suits advanced and competitive players, singles attackers and rear-court doubles specialists rather than beginners.
Best for: Power players, singles attackers, rear-court doubles players, and fans of Lee Zii Jia.
