Its a great shoe, compared to my old 65z3 I think it was a great purchase considering my previous pair didnt have a lot of cushion. It had this nice plush kind of feeling to it.
So happy with my choice! Having played with the Ezone for 6 years, I knew I wanted this exact model. Upgrading from 100/275g to 98/285g added noticeable power and pace, while actually improving control without sacrificing any comfort.
Big thanks to Yumo for great service and fast delivery!
My first flagship Victor Thruster. The stiff and slim shaft design beckons the wielder to make contact with the bird earlier and harder.
Never had faster smashes nor worse mishits. Lots of fun!
An outstanding racket for speed, defense, and front-court control, held back only by its somewhat lacking rear-court power and relatively fragile frame.
Perfect Intermediate Racket
The 88D Game is an amazing racket. It’s head-heavy and gives you easy, massive power for smashes, but it also works great for precise drops. Shockingly, the defense is really good as a head heavy Racket and quick too. Perfect choice for any intermediate player.
The Astrox 77 pro strung with Xb63 is an absolute beast. My smash had a visible improvement, the racket feels easy to use for a head heavy attacking racket. For reference, I strung it at 24/26.
Good smashing power without loosing controls on drops and net shots. Replaced factory stings with Exbolt 63 main 24 lb cross 25 lb . Compared with my Japan made 77 , this racquet seems slightly lighter and I’d say not super stiff. Got to play more with it to tell the difference.
I love my Nitrix 70 Volta! At first I was a bit hesitant to buy a premium racket with a premium price from a smaller brand, but now I regret not buying it sooner. In fact, the same week I got my Volta, I got myself a second one as back up and I am thinking of buying myself a 3rd one right now.
The closest racket to the Nitrix for me is the Victor Thruster TTY. Similar weight, flex, they even look alike. I like both rackets, as I am able to generate a lot of power without expending much energy. I actually generate more power using these 2 rackets than when using more agressive/head heavy rackets. They just suit me. I used to lack power on court, but now my clears are effortless and my smash feels twice as powerful.
Between the Thruster TTY and the Nitrix 70 Volta, if I had to pick one favorite, I would choose the Volta as it has just a little better maneuverability/speed.
Retains the same design as the 2025 65Z but with a new reinforced toe box correcting a flaw that forced Yonex these pulled from manufacturing in August 2025. Glad to have them back and the Axelsen collection warm grey colourway with olive accents and a lime outer sole are a nice touch. Also noticed two dimples on the insole for heel positioning, this is new as well. Including photos of the shoes, a toe box comparison to last years model, and shot of the included VA branded shoe bag.
This Yonex va tour is one the best rackets I've used in 30 years of playing.
I'm definitely getting another for back up. Solid feel and precision, and not to head heavy.
I fell in love with the racket for its power. I don't know how, but I am able to smash harder using the TTY than when using heavier and more offensive rackets.
The only thing I dislike is the color. It's a bit bland/boring, which is why I added a smiley face to the strings, although some people might like the cleaner look.
