BadmintonLabs TakeStiff, even-balance power frame — splits the difference between power and speed. A heftier 3U build, strung up to 30 lb.

Community verdict ★ 4.3 (90) Thruster K — Victor's classic head-heavy power frame, a long-standing favourite.
What makes it special
  • POWER BOX — Box-shape frame profile that increases stability and anti-torque, Thruster signature.
  • HARD CORED TECHNOLOGY — Multi-layer carbon + composite construction in the head, minimizes material with reinforced feel.
  • FREE CORE — Computer-designed T-joint that lets the shaft flex freely for smoother swings.
