Victor Bravesword series is a very popular series among double players, so here's my review on one of the latest racket from Victor, the Victor Bravesword 1577.
The Specs:
| Shaft Material： | Ultra High Modulus Graphite + Nano Resin + 7.0 SHAFT |
| Frame Material： | Ultra High Modulus Graphite + Nano Resin |
| String tension LBS： | H ≦ 28 lbs, V ≦ 26 lbs H ≦ 26 lbs, V ≦ 24 lbs |
| Weight / Grip Size： | 3U / G6 4U / G6 |
| Length： | 675 mm |
| Balance： | HH○○●○○HL |
| Stiffness： | S○○●○○F |
As most of the recent ArcSaber series by Yonex, this racket also comes with two different weight (3U & 4U).
The racket is developed in Taiwan but in made in China, paint work wise is in normal glossy finish unlike the top-range Yonex rackets which are in MATT finish.
The design of this racket carry the same style as the rest of the Bravesword series and its diamond-shaped design is said to perform like a SWORD which cut through the air that reduces air resistance by 10% during a swing. Sound very promising.
Game Play..
This racket is suitable for those who are looking for an upgrade from a beginner to a reliable intermediate all-round racket that fall below S$100/RM300. The racket that i'm using for this review is a 4U version. This racket is very suitable for attacking play in double game due to its even balance frame and the special diamond-shaped design which increase the swing speed of the racket. Smash can be executed with high precision but not as powerful and solid like a 3U racket. Drop shots, flat drive, speed and defence is what make this racket shine. Drives are fast enough to give opponent trouble and net play is fantastic as well due to there a little weight on the head which gives you a better feel in control.
