The Victor Thruster Falcon Enhanced Edition (TK-F C) is a refined version of the original Thruster F, one of Victor's best-known attacking rackets. It pairs a head-heavy balance with a stiff, slim 6.5mm anti-torsion shaft to deliver heavy smashes while still offering a surprising amount of control at the net and in defence.
Compared with the first-generation Thruster F, the Enhanced Edition has a lighter balance point and swing weight for a more comfortable, manoeuvrable feel, a more elastic frame, and a stronger upgraded shaft for quicker direction changes. It is finished in matte black with rose-gold and gold detailing. This racket comes unstrung, so be sure to select a string when purchasing.
Anti-Torsion Slim Shaft — A 6.5mm shaft built with Victor's anti-torsion layering to resist twisting on off-centre hits, giving a more direct, stable feel and accurate attacking shots.
Tri-Formation Frame — Combines several frame profiles (power box, diamond and aerodynamic shapes) into one head design, optimised by computer simulation for smoother swings and a larger, longer sweet spot.
Rebound Shield — Durable glass fibre is built into the multi-layered frame to add elasticity and a more lively, comfortable response at impact.
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 Falcon Enhanced suits attacking players who want power without an overly sluggish, head-heavy feel. Singles players and rear-court doubles players will appreciate the steep smashes, while the stiff shaft and stable frame give good control for players who like to string at higher tensions. It rewards a confident, well-timed swing, so it is best for intermediate-to-advanced players.
Best for: Power players, rear-court doubles attackers, and competitive players who want a controllable head-heavy Thruster.
This is an easy one...buy this racket. This is Coach Ching's favorite racket so far and the one he switched over to from the Yonex ArcSaber 11. For a power racket, the Falcon doesn't feel overly head heavy but still provides excellent repulsion and control...a rare combination for rackets in this range. Smashes are incredibly powerful and the racket is extremely easy to play with, with little-to-no arm fatigue after long training sessions. We were surprised at the level of control this racket afforded. It is likely attributable to the stiffer shaft and rigid head construction. This is also one of the few rackets that you can safely string up to 31 lbs
