Attacking intent. A firm response. A distinctive pink finish.
The Victor Thruster TK-RYUGA Metallic CPS pairs a head-heavy balance with a stiff shaft for players who prefer a direct, demanding response during overhead attacks. The Flamingo Pink Capsule Collection finish gives this power-focused racket a different look without changing its role in your game.
Choose 3U/G5 or 4U/G5. The heavier 3U configuration suits players comfortable moving more racket mass; 4U offers a lighter starting point for defensive recovery and faster exchanges. Both use Metallic Carbon Fiber in the frame, PYROFIL in the shaft, and VICTOR’s 6.8 SHAFT construction.
Head-heavy balance
For players who build rallies around overhead pressure and rear-court attacking play.
Two weight choices
Choose 3U/G5 or 4U/G5 to suit your handling preference and physical comfort.

Specifications
Technologies & Benefits
3U vs 4U — Choose Your Weight
3U/G5
Consider 3U if you like a more substantial racket and can maintain comfortable timing through repeated overhead strokes. It may appeal to singles players or rear-court doubles attackers.
4U/G5
Consider 4U if you prefer less overall mass for defense, transitions, and longer doubles sessions. It remains a head-heavy racket; lighter weight does not make it automatically easy to use.
Both options have G5 grips. Strings and overgrips alter the finished weight and balance. Read our 3U vs 4U guide.
Who Is This Racket For?
Established attacking players
A useful option for intermediate-to-advanced players who already enjoy a stiff, head-heavy setup and make consistent overhead contact.
Consider your timing and comfort
If you prefer a flexible shaft or very light handling, this may feel demanding. Choose for your actual swing and comfort rather than the maximum tension or a professional player association.
Stringing & Tension Recommendations
BW starting suggestion: EXBOLT 65 at 24–25 lbs.
This is a practical starting point for players already comfortable with moderate tension. Consider 22–24 lbs for a more forgiving string bed. Higher tension rewards consistent contact; it does not automatically create more power.
- Yonex EXBOLT 65 — responsive all-court option; start around 24–25 lbs.
- Yonex BG80 — firmer, textured response; start around 24–25 lbs if you like a direct feel.
- Yonex EXBOLT 68 — thicker alternative for players prioritizing durability; consider 24–26 lbs.
Manufacturer limits: 3U up to 32 lbs; 4U up to 31 lbs. These are ceilings, not recommended starting tensions. BW’s suggestions are setup guidance, not manufacturer requirements. Check the string and tension choices offered with your order.
