- I review and compare both 3U and 4U versions of the Victor Auraspeed 90K ii badminton racket which is designed to replace the original version of Auraspeed 90K. The Auraspeed 90K is used by Anders Antonsen.
Victor also incorporated its Free Core handle and technology into this new version of Auraspeed 90K.

Hey CK. Great job with the knowledge sharing for our badminton freaks! Help me out please . I'm looking for a similar racket to lining wood n90 ii lindane as that's what I use for my play. I'm a doubles and mixed doubles player who's lost in the world of rackets can't pick the right racket. Love to get a victor which will feel the same as what I use now. Hopefully bit more repulsion. Thanks bro
Try the Drive X 10 Metallic or the Thruster Ryuga 1 or Ryuga Metallic
@@CKYew thanks bro. Will read about that 3 rackets and purchase using your code to buy from your suggested badminton shop online. Thanks and Happy New Year
90K is my ultimate weapon. Can’t wait for the 90K Metallic. It will be a tall order to do better than the OG 90K
Does anyone have any experience with the TD version in comparison to the auraspeed 90k ii, what's the difference ?
Was just waiting for this video genuinely thankyou soo much
👌👌👌
@@CKYew i had just bought auraspeed 90k2 4u version before your video😜😜 i felt a bit heavier than my fav thruster f enhanced version but as advertised it should be lighter as its auraspeed series but overall a good racket. truly speaking not even near to thruster f as per my opinion🤩👍🏻
Could you do a Victor Auraspeed 90K 2 TD review? Would really appreciate it.
I felt differently about the 90K1 vs 90K2 as you do... I have tried the 90K1 in the past but wasn't that impressed by it; the swing balance and speed made the handling less snappy than my trusted 1st Gen Jetspeed S10. With the 90K2, it was a lot more fun to play with; defense was very snappy and stable without sacrificing power on smashes. Within the first game with the 90K2, the superior feeling of the racket instilled a lot of confidence in my counter-attacks and rather creative shot selections. My friends were caught somewhat off-guard and remarked "the racket is making you do some wild things here!". Perhaps the difference in techniques between us might have played a role in our opinions on the 90K1 vs 90K2 because I much prefer the 90K2 to the original.
In the end, I definitely agree that the 90K2 is much more user friendly than the 90K1. But I still haven't found a racket that is as dominant as the 1st Gen Jetspeed S10 for me.
Niceee.. as the 90k2 has more head weight, it should be easier in terms of power generation 👌
@@CKYew I am rather fond of the Astrox 100ZZ and now the Nanoflare 1000Z... but one thing that keeps me reaching back for Victor rackets from my bag is the swing speed. Regardless of how the rackets feel (balanced like the 90KII or slightly head heavy like the Thruster F), they always cuts through the air so effortlessly. They might not feel as stable as more robust rackets from Yonex... but if you can manage being wrist-y... it's so fun playing with Victor rackets
@@TheOneDumDumcan you compare your NF1000 to the Ars90kii ?
@@izzanzakaria9287
NF1000: balanced feel, stable, fast swing, store a lot of power on a smash, solid snap on defense
AS90Kii: slightly head light, faster swing/snap but less power stored in the shuttle, very quick on defense but not as stable (a little wild at times)
The main difference for me between these 2 rackets would be ease of use. The NF1000 is by far the best and most difficult racket I have ever played with. The 90Kii has a faster swing speed but less strength in the shot. However, even on days that you're not playing your best, the 90K remain controllable and easy to use. The NF1000 is far more unforgiving...
When you're in your groove, the NF1000 will boost your confidence like no racket have done before. It swing fast, carry a lot of weight behind the shot, yet stable and easy to maneuver around the court. I've had 2 sessions last week where I was playing while being tired physically and mentally... the NF1000 just refused to offer any help. Whatever shots that i did not put in the center of the string bed went straight into the net, any backhand that I did not get early enough would go half court.
Seeing things not going too well, i switched out to my Jetspeed10 and Auraspeed90Kii to try and change up the funk. Right off the bat I was able to produce better shots and much more consistent output even if my timing wasn't perfect on certain shots. I definitely noticed a lessen impact on my smashes and solid feel on defense. But my bad shots were still going roughly where i intended. And on defense i didn't feel the lacking like with the NF1000, i was still able to counter attack and drive the shuttle back.
I was able to play back to form with the AS90Kii until i felt confident enough in my performance to go back to the NF1000. Only then did it allow me to use it to its full potential. I've talked to several of my friends who felt similar with the NF1000 being temperamental. As non-professional competitive players, the performance that they can get out of the NF1000 can be inconsistent at times.
With that being said, for my personal style and preference... The NF1000 could be finicky and difficult to tame at times, and the 90Kii sometimes lack that punch from the back even if it's a beast at the front court. The jetspeed10, however, is still a perfect all rounder for me. Easy to use, balanced feel, doesn't lack power from the back nor the speed and snap required on defense or at the net.
I got 3 90k ii and all in 4U, 2 from taiwan and 1 from canada. The ones bought in Taiwan are made in Taiwan and the Canada version is made in China. The overall paint quality is a lot better on the tw version, and the frames are more stable when hitting. Just like how the original tw version 90K was way more lethal than the cn version.
The problem with Victor right now is their factory in taiwan is too small to manufacture all the models, so they decided to only make a few models (TK tty, TK F, Drivex 9, 10, Auraspeed 100x, Jetspeed T1 pro, etc) in Taiwan and leave the rest to the factory in China. Usually I'd avoid the first 1-2 batches from the cn factory, they tend to have poor paint jobs, fragile frames, and handle quality issues. The most recent batches of the 90k ii from china are better now, so keep in mind, avoid the early batches at all cost.
I used 90k 2 when the day updated the new arrival. 2 times? game, I got a tiny impact between my partner's racket. the my racket could not use anymore. I know now why that day did that. I think like you said that is maybe early batches one.
how can you tell if the racket is from a early batches?
Can you review the Thruster F Claw?
Great and very detailed, in-depth review once again by CK. I would like see review of badminton racquet from brands like APACS, Carlton, Ashaway, etc. As these brands make it very confusing to understand what is there mid range or high end racquet, as well as whether it is a attack/control/speed racquet. APACS is very good at this as website doesn't give and product description at all to their racquets.
Thank you for your support! Unfortunately, Carlton has exited the badminton game a while ago. Whatever you see is OEM or legacy product thats unsold.
@@CKYewPls review apacs🙏🙏apacs produce an abundance of affordable rackets that is opportune for many players as it is diverse. And not to mention apacs rackets are mainly affordable for players who are in a budget. I and if not many will be glad if you review apacs rackets
hey Ck! how does this compare to the 88s pro? Deciding between these two rackets :D thanks in advance!
Hi CKY, Looking fwd to your review on Drive-X 10..i got so tempted with it's design :D.. Cheers mate
For me it felt much more similar to the Auraspeed 100X than to the Gen 1 90K. I had 2 copies of the racquet break within 2 weeks of buying (one 3U, one 4U); I probably wouldn't buy another victor racquet made in china
All Victor rackets going forward will be made in China. Victor moved all their production to China.
Same experience with my 4U, broke at between 4 to 5 o’clock with less than 10 times playing . Still waiting for warranty replacement after 4 months. China made is definitely not the same quality as Taiwan made, and no more Victor racquet from China for me. Other than quality issues, the 90Kii is almost a perfect racquet imo, it’s like a user friendly 88DPro, i.e. less stiff, easy backhand and easy whipping power.
Some new rackets have design flaws too! Take the new DriveX 10 for instance, there is a lot of loose or spin handles because the glue couldn’t hold the new material!
Oofff!! 2 in 2 weeks is 😬😬😬 were they clashes?
@@CKYew nope. One was a mishit, the other i just found a crack at the end of a session.
Probably the same reason why Antonsen returns to original 90k
Probably 😬
sheesh victor sucks at making second gen rackets
why am i this early XD
Can you please review yonex duora Z Strike ? Thank you so much
whats the difference between the 90k ii and the 90k ii td? i cant seem to find anything online on these
Which one would you recommend between ars90k ii and thruster f enhanced for front court player
Is the 90K II longer than Thruster F Enhanced?
What's a current racket thats plays like the OG Arcsaber 11
Aeronaut 9000
@@deekay13the base one? I've tried the 9000i and felt smooth but lacks punching power
@@kobeshok4123 yes the white one. The one that Ginting uses.
After try the 90k2 i think the Freecore handle is why you lost fun factor in it CK?
Im still try to grasp the feel after switching from my Auraspeed 70k (Black).
Had the MKI , the BP 4U was better …
hey CK! would like a victor BRS 12 SE review, heard its buttery smooth
I loved the original version so I’d love to try the 55th version too!
@@CKYew haha, hope u can get your hands on one, the decals are amazing on it
Oh come on. whenever its Victor racket, I always see comment bout their frame quality. Why can't they address this already.
I'm gonna say that the 90K II is a good fit for mixed doubles.
If I may, what are your thought between 100x and 90kii?
@CK Yew which one is better Auraspeed 90K II or Auraspeed 100X ? How would you compare these two rackets?
Good were the old days when we get to see a video every week , but now shorts of already seen content , doesn’t make sense. Btw are we going to see review of Nanoflare 1000 tour , game and the play….
How would you compare ease of play between the 90K and 90K2 4U model? Am looking to buy a racket but am a relative beginner and would appreciate some advise on what I should look out for. And how does this compare to the Thruster F Enhanced Edition or the Brave Sword 12 55 year Anniversary edition? If I already have the 88D Pro, would it be worth it to get the 90K2 4U?
If you’re a beginner why do you have an 88d pro lol. I would recommend the Arcsaber 7 pro instead. I have tried all those rackets you mentioned; don’t even think about 90k as it’s quite stiff and not beginner friendly at all. If you’re looking into a beginner-friendly Victor then I’d recommend the Auraspeed Hypersonic or Auraspeed 90f.
@@deekay13 88d pro was a gift. Maybe not a beginner. Been playing 2 times a week for 2 years. But haven't competed or anything hence why I wouldn't call myself an intermediate or anything. I'm looking for something to improve my defensive play and control. I feel like I'm always a tad late to the shuttle on returns. Any recommendations?
@@wombatman3880 the ones I mentioned: Arcsaber 7pro, Auraspeed 90f or Auraspeed Hypersonic. However, a new racket still won’t give you better skills. Take some group lessons or private coaching sessions if you’re serious about improving. That’ll help you way more than any new racket.
90Kii is more user friendly vs 88DPro, due to longer and less stiff shaft . Hv not tried BS but Thruster FE is probably the most user friendly and faster racquet among the 3 and head heavier, love it.
please make a review of TK Ryuga Metallic currently yielded by LZJ.
I owned 4 90kii and all of them broke just by light clashes. Too fragile…. I don’t recommend it
Can you please make a review of the Nanoray Z-speed ? I know its an old racquet but I never really knew what its like to use
Next time you meet loh kean yew can you ask him what shoes he play with? please:D
Good video Btw
Victor made in china, I heard many issues
All Victor made in China moving forward
whick racket from Victor is comparable to Arcsaber 11 Pro?
This vs arcsaber 11 pro? Which one has more power and which have most speed?
Can’t wait for Victor to release a new Thruster Ryuga 2 Pro, Ryuga Mini, AuraSpeed HS Plus and DriveX F new year 2024 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im wondering what racket i should get for around $100+-, i like attacking but also want speed in the court and precision would be nice
What's similar to BS-12L 3U version? Can't seem to find them in market these days =(
Which racket is good 90kii g5 4u or nanoflare 1000z or jetspeed s12 ? All 4u?
hey man can i hv a acket plzzz i lv u i hv been watching u since 2021 plzz
Hi bro kindly review a product called Humidome.
Would love a review on the arcasaber 1000 series play, game and tour rackets
Great review! I'm currently using a Mizuno Fortius Tour, do you know any rackets that may have same or similar spec? I'm looking to change. Thanks
Out of topic question:
Astrox 77 play or Nanoflare 1000 play?
Thank you finally...
I have both 3U and 4U 90K and I love.. what would be your recommendation racket that is closest on how the 90k play and control. Thank you
That string cross at 0:22 got my OCD back :(
Hello CK, great review. Would appreciate if you could compare the NF 1000Game and the NF 700 because the pretty similar specs
90k2 vs nanoflare 1000z your opinion?
Ars 100X vs Ars 90K ii
100x is lighter, slimmer, and faster. 90kii is like a beefier 100x; it’s thicker, heavier, and more powerful, but still relatively quick.
@ckyew, I have Yonex NR900 3U and Li-Ning N7ii. Played Mens double and mixed double most of the time. Would you recommended this racket? 3U or 4U?
Thanks
idk how strong you are but if you can manage 3u, then go for it. otherwise, 4u is the best overall choice
auraspeed 100x auraspeed 90k 2 or nanoflare 1000z
any chance of reviewing the Ryuga TD??
Hi CK, do you able to test Felet Woven 3k fence? Racket used by Ng Ka Long currently. Seems like Felet is also able to produce high quality racket
I’m trying to get my hands on them but they’re not available where I am
Are you planning on reviewing the new drive10X M?
best strings for defense?
Hi CK.
Hi Edison 😊
what glasses do you wear while playing? are they something specifically made for sports, do they fog up? any suggestions regarding this please?
They're just regular glasses and dont fog up. I wear headbands to keep them in place and not move around.
Are you going to test all the racket on the precision scan in your reviews moving forward？
Yep!
Hi guy. I’m gonna buy a new racket brand Victor
I often play double in the back position, i like smash and fast bowling , sometime i play single.
Can you give me advise which racket is suitable with me. ARS100X or ARS 90Kii.
Thank you❤
When i was choosing between 100x and 90kii, they say 100x 4u is out of stock... So i chose 90kii 4u 😂😂😂
@@drafrondir hehe tks you so much 🙂
Hi, would you suggest the auraspeed 90k or 90k ii for singles and doubles? I mainly play front court in doubles
They’ll both be great, it’s up to what you prefer
Will it be a better racquet than the Thruster F-E?
I have the 2nd gen 90k in 3U, only playing it as a singles game racket, though I am primarily a MD/XD player
I’ve not tested the 3u 90k before.. I bet it feels good 👌
Do you have any plans on reviewing the Victor Drivex 10 Metallic?
Original 90k available in market?
Being discontinued.
Is it so different with td version?
The TD is a mid range version
Is the auraspeed 90kii better than the thruster ryuga 2 ??
It’s down to your personal preference
I am using the auraspeed 100x right now so it worth it moving to the 90kii
Darnet I wish I seen this vid before I bought it now i regret buying the 90k ii LOL
But I like it so far so hope i didnt make the wrong decision.
3 months in, how do you feel about it now?? i want to buy it too
i really do love this racket thou . change from arc11pro > 100x > 900maxsun > 90kii (all 4u) . aside from 'made in china' (which seem having a lot of problem right now; easy broke , and noises) , i got no complain about this racket.
@@yvincent I personally fw it but it is lowkey balanced to head heavy which i didnt like since i got the racket because i thought it would be head light like version 1 but i still like it or i makin myself like it LOL
@@teeteee358 same i just wish i got a head light racket
@@uhohpickless9106 yea i was hoping mine to be head light too, but it feels like an even balanced. so far its good though, but then again, maybe we really are coping so we could like it 😂
90k2 balance point is 302 its no longer a headlight racket
Where do you see 302?
Balance point isn’t very useful as it’s varies widely depending on the grips your put on your racket
@@95thRiflesOCIi asked my retailer when i bought one he was told by the supplier that the bp was 302±2
@@95thRiflesOCIit feels like a softer 88d pro with less punch but more control
Nice review, interesting to see that the 90kii went to even a balance route vs the original. Probably because of the lighter plastic handle. The 3u seems to still be on the head lighter side as well.
I'm guessing the Ars Hang and LJH are more like 90k1 successors due to be stiffer but also the hang is slightly headlight and both have the much larger frame grooves @ 12 3 and 9 positions.
Just curious about the 679mm measurement, are these taken before or after stringing because I measured an unstrung 90kii x4 after watching this review but they all are within 675 +-1mm.
They’re measured after stringing..👌
My 90K2 is made in Taiwan. The only difference between China made and Taiwan made is the cosmetic aspect of the racket.
TW - slightly matte and pinkish
CH - glossy abit and purple-ish
Both the 3u and 4U I tested were made in China and side by side, you can see a difference in colour
love your reviews
I’m glad you enjoy them 😊👌
Victor has the most confusing line of all the manufacturers. Normal buyer don't know what's the difference between 90K, 90K 2, 90K H, 90S, 90F M...
Perhaps you could make a video of what all of these letters mean in their lineup?
wanted to know a bit more about the swing weight. How significant is the roughly 2 kg cm2 difference between 1st and 2nd gen auraspeeds? do you know what the range of swing weights are from ultra head light rackets to ultra head heavy rackets? lastly, do you know of any databases that hold some of these other readings that the precision scan produces for a multitude of rackets? Thanks, great video as usual
I plan on making the numbers I measured available on my website soon
Hi CK, which one will you prefer to use? The original one or the new one?
Original 90k
Taiwan Brand Made in China is the new Japan Brand Made in Taiwan.
They sure don't show it on their advertisement. I will be only buying racket from their respective country. My experience with Victor is mixed. The matte finish of the TKFC is of very poor quality, I am very disappointed since it's a flagship racket.
