The 2025 Victor Thruster F C Ultra X (TK-F C ULTRA X) builds on the Thruster F Ultra with a lineup of three weights, each with its own shaft diameter and stiffness. The 3U uses a 6.0mm shaft with Power Ring Pro for the heaviest, most solid smash; the 4U uses a 5.8mm shaft with Power Ring for a balance of power and swing speed; and the 5U uses a 5.6mm shaft, the slimmest Victor has used, for maximum reaction speed in a head-heavy frame.
All three share a head-heavy balance, a Metallic Carbon Fibre shaft and a frame packed with 46T PYROFIL, Nano Fortify TR, Nano Aerogel and Hard Cored Technology for powerful hits that stay stable and controlled. The racket is endorsed by attacking players including Jonatan Christie.
Metallic Carbon Fibre — Thin metal sheet fused with high-strength carbon fibre. In the frame it adds smash power and strength; in the shaft it gives an elastic feel, efficient force transfer and precise shot direction.
Nano Aerogel — The world's lightest solid is built into the frame, freeing weight to be reallocated and allowing more carbon fibre for a stronger frame and better feel.
Nano Fortify TR — Toray TORAYCA prepreg carbon that improves elasticity and impact resistance for stronger repulsion and easier, smoother shot-making.
PYROFIL — High-strength, ultra-light Japanese carbon fibre that improves shock absorption and control.
Hard Cored Technology — A compact, multi-layer carbon fibre and composite structure, inspired by helicopter rotor design, that firms up the frame and sharpens handling feel.
Tri-Formation Frame — Power Box, Diamond, Aero and Aerodynamic frame sections are combined along the head, based on computer simulation, to optimize hitting, frame behaviour and overall performance.
VICTOR Anti-Torsion System — A shaft built from highly resilient materials with an anti-torsion design, keeping the head stable and transferring power efficiently.
Resilient Glass Fibre Layer — Durable glass fibre built into the multi-layer frame for added elasticity and a more comfortable feel at impact.
Free Core Handle — A computer-designed handle moulded from nano-nylon that lets the shaft move more freely for smoother swings and a more comfortable hold.
Power Ring — Joins the shaft and Free Core handle into one unit for sturdy handling and lively elasticity.
Power Ring Pro — Integrates the shaft directly with the Free Core handle for a firmer connection, extra elasticity and a crisper hitting response.
Single-Pass Grommet System — Grommet holes that each carry a single pass of string, reducing friction between strings to limit tension loss and extend string life.
The F C Ultra X is built for attacking players, with a weight to suit each style. The 3U is for singles players and rear-court hitters who want the heaviest smash and the most stability. The 4U is the versatile middle option, with power and quicker handling for attacking doubles and players who switch between singles and doubles. The 5U is for agile doubles players who prioritize reaction speed at the net and in defence but still want a head-heavy attacking feel.
Best for: Power-focused singles players (3U), attacking and mixed-discipline players (4U), and fast doubles specialists (5U).
