Victor Ryuga II Pro review

The Ryuga II Pro feels like holding a purple dragon with a very heavy head. I love the dense, concentrated attack and the spectacular finish. I am much less enthusiastic about getting the head back quickly enough for a fast sequence.

A thick hit and clear placement

The very firm shaft and head bias put substance behind the shuttle. I gave power 93. The large sweet spot makes clean contact easy to find, while the prompt, precise feedback helps me judge speed and placement. Control earns 92.

The head weight and slower shaft return make repeated shots cumbersome. I gave rally play 80. Each good attack feels rewarding, but I cannot make the whole sequence flow at the pace I want.

The purple scales are excellent

The black and purple with silver purple scales looks remarkably like a dragon wrapped around the racket. I gave looks 96. Ease of use drops to 85 because the stiff shaft is difficult to bend and the head feels substantial through the swing. I would choose the Pro for its concentrated attacking contact and exceptional finish, then accept the effort required to move it.
