It features a predominantly matte or pearlescent white base accented with deep mauve (purple-pink) and light violet graphics. Mechanically, it is engineered to deliver the downward smash velocity of a head-heavy frame without the punishing, exhausting stiffness found in professional-grade rackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Technologies \u0026amp; Structural Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePOWER BOX Frame Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The frame is built using Victor's signature box-shaped geometric profile. This architectural cross-section significantly stabilizes the racket head under impact, providing excellent anti-torque resistance. It keeps the string bed squared to your target, ensuring your high-power smashes remain stable and precise even during off-center hits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFiber Reinforced System (FRS):\u003c\/b\u003e Thanks to an advanced multi-layered carbon fiber laminate layout, the frame elasticity is vastly improved. This structural upgrade allows a lighter (4U\/5U) chassis to safely withstand higher stringing configurations up to 28 lbs while delivering crisp, clean energy transfer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e6.8mm \/ 7.0mm Slim Elastic Shaft:\u003c\/b\u003e The thin, aerodynamic shaft profile drastically lowers wind resistance on fast swings. Its medium-flexible tuning acts like a natural catapult, bending smoothly during the backswing and snapping forward quickly to inject extra whip into clears and drops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSEVEN SIX (76) Grommet Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Outfitted with a 76-hole single-pass grommet configuration where main and cross strings each occupy separate holes. This prevents the strings from rubbing against each other, minimizing friction, slowing down tension loss, and extending string life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Profile \u0026amp; Court Behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAccessible Catapult Power (8.5 \/ 10):\u003c\/b\u003e Smashes are remarkably punchy. Because the shaft is medium-flexible rather than stiff, developing or recreational players do not need flawless, explosive wrist strength to bend the racket and unlock its downward smash potential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEffortless Clear Depth (9.0 \/ 10):\u003c\/b\u003e The primary advantage of pairing a head-heavy bias with a whipped shaft profile is how easily it generates length. When pushed deep into the backcourt, a simple, relaxed swing is all it takes to clear the shuttle baseline-to-baseline, keeping you safe from fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDefensive Agility \u0026amp; Drive Speed (8.5 \/ 10):\u003c\/b\u003e Because it is readily configured in agile 4U and ultra-light 5U setups, the Mauve variant avoids the slow, sluggish recovery lag common to heavy, traditional attacking rackets. It moves swiftly to intercept flat mid-court drives and handle reflex smash-blocking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Suited For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntermediate Attacking Club Players:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for advancing club and league players who want to build a more offensive game style but require a forgiving, flexible frame to protect their technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStamina-Minded Doubles Competitors:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for players—especially juniors, intermediate ladies, or senior competitors—who switch between rear-court smashing and quick net play, requiring a head-heavy punch without long-session arm and shoulder strain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePlayers Seeking Style and Performance:\u003c\/b\u003e A stellar option for anyone searching for a reliable, well-engineered, and striking head-heavy weapon backed by Victor's signature structural safety tech.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight Classification: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e4U\u003c\/b\u003e (Approx. 80–84g empty) \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,1,2\" data-index-in-node=\"1\"\u003e5U\u003c\/b\u003e (Approx. 75–79g empty \/ average 78-79g).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGrip Size: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,2,1,0\"\u003eG5 \/ G6.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLength: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,8,1,0\"\u003e675 mm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBalance Point: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,3,1,0\"\u003eHead-Heavy (HH).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eShaft Stiffness: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,4,1,0\"\u003eMedium \/ Medium-Flexible.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFrame Material: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,5,1,0\"\u003eGraphite + Resin.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eShaft Material: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,6,1,0\"\u003eGraphite + Resin + 6.8mm to 7.0mm Shaft.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"4,7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMax String Tension: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e4U:\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026lt;_ 27 lbs (\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"12\\text{ kg}\" data-index-in-node=\"16\"\u003e12 kg\u003c\/span\u003e) \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,7,1,2\" data-index-in-node=\"1\"\u003e5U:\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026lt;_ 26–28 lbs (\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"11.5 -
