At the end of last month, VICTOR officially announced the launch of a new generation of synth character series rackets - DriveX 巭, VICTOR up and down the form of the synth word series from the previous generation of "烎" blood two-dimensional yuan, to the current "巭" color ink Chinese style, product design IP can always grasp the aesthetic points of the younger generation. The "巭" series of rackets, T-shirts, bags, socks and the same series of sneakers that will be listed in the future, V family will design their own IP image to play more and more mature.
1. Painting
Since it is an IP-based racket, the painted design of the racket must be the eye-catching place of the racket. The DriveX painting is based on white as the background color, the pattern style is dominated by black text, and the auxiliary blue and rose red images are misaligned, forming a design effect of fault art, so that people can get a strong sense of scientific and technological impact visually. Thanks to the use of the same design idea of the main KV of douyin, this form of design ideas is attached to the cognition of "rejuvenation".
The painting is my favorite national wind auspicious cloud pattern, in addition to the use of misplaced design, but also the painting pattern into the form of the national style tape that has been very popular in recent years, the stripe into a neatly cut edge of the long strip shape throughout the whole shot, played a role in the finishing touch.

3. Configuration
DriveX is equipped with several commonly used materials in VICTOR, strong core filling technology that increases the stability of the frame, PYROFIL Bailuo carbon fiber that increases the elasticity of the middle tube, the use of different frame types in the upper and lower areas of the frame to achieve resistance reduction and stable win-win dynamic fluid hexagonal frame, as well as more conventional high-strength and tough carbon fiber, TR toughened nanocarbon tube, these common materials I have analyzed in depth in the previous evaluation, this time will not be repeated, Interested friends can look at my previous assessment to understand. In addition, VICTOR has recently been promoting the FREE CORE suspension core handle.
The suspension core handle is made of nano nylon, which is more stable and shock-absorbing than the traditional wooden handle, and the artificial handle can control the weight and size more precisely during the production process, so that there is less artificial proofreading of the racket parameters during the production process. At the same time, because the X-shaped structure at the front of the suspension core handle can provide a damper effect, it will also be helpful in absorbing excess vibration and improving the softness of the hand.
At the end of September, when I went to the VICTOR order meeting to play, I saw field tests of the suspension core handle and the wooden handle. To tell you the truth, before seeing the test, I was skeptical about the actual role that the suspension core handle could play in actual combat, and the various introductions were also more mysterious. But after seeing the tests on the spot, I really realized that the new handle has better performance than the traditional wooden handle in terms of stability, shock absorption and rebound.
4. User experience
Victor's positioning of the DriveX is "attack and defend Yuantong Feng Virtual Wind", which can be attacked and defended, and controlled freely. The same is true of the feeling of my overall use - easy to get started, easy to control, offensive and defensive, and easy to switch rhythms.
Easy to get started
The 4U driveX is arguably the best racket I've used recently, with a large sweet frame and regular shape, a high fault tolerance even in the fast flat draw, and the speed and stability of the power fluid frame as good as the original DriveX. 6.8 SHAFT moderate slightly hard middle tube can ensure the rebound effect on the basis of softening the feel, the overall use of basically does not need too much time to adapt, both ends of the attack and defense can be quickly adapted. Of course, this ease of play is compared with my recently used TK-Falcon, Platinum Claw, if it is not a solid strength of the golfer, 5U should be better to get started.
High and far ball
The backcourt high ball is relatively relaxed, the power process is very smooth, soft, slightly heavy design in the whip swing process can give the user a certain help, more shots in the case of pulling is relatively easy not easy to feel difficult. The effect of the high ball is better in both the line and the landing point, but it is slightly weak when playing the high ball, and it requires the wrist fingers to give more force when rotating outside to ensure a good speed of the ball.
offensive
Conventional vigorous attack is indeed not the advantage of the DriveX, and the rebound of the batting face will not be as solid and internal as the platinum claw in the process of smashing down. However, thanks to the overall handling and stability of the racket, the control of the line and ball speed on the split suspension is very good, and the shot is more hidden (the golfer who plays together says that it is also related to the wrong prediction and the racket is too flowery). In addition, in some passive points to kill the lower pressure, suspension link, because the racket is light, partial sugar water, so even the passive ball can play a good downward pressure effect with a shorter force time and less batting space.
Flat pump fast gear
In the draw link, although DriveX Wei can not provide a strong forward momentum for the ball, but the forehand and backhand switching is flexible, the ball is stable and the fault tolerance rate is high, so it can ensure the line of the ball and the height of the net in a very passive situation, and use a good rhythm transformation ability to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of offensive power, so that you also have the opportunity to experience a flexible and changeable feel in front of the net.
Defensive catch-up
In the defensive link, whether it is picking the backcourt or blocking the net, it is more handy. When picking the backcourt, due to the strong flexibility of the racket and the high fault tolerance rate, it can turn the wrist more fully. Before receiving the net, the larger sweet area can be a good relief and provide better control, and the landing point and height of the ball can be well controlled when blocking the push.
Tempo control
In particular, I would like to talk about the ability and advantages of The DriveX in rhythm control. The stability brought by the big sweet area and the speed brought by the fluid frame make it possible to control the racket very well in actual combat confrontation, especially in the fast-paced men's doubles confrontation, which is very suitable for some rapidly changing rhythm playing methods such as clamping and hanging, high point suspension, grabbing point killing, and erasing in front of the net, and bringing advantages in the battle by changing the rhythm.
5. Summary
In my opinion, the "kung fu" of DriveX Is very much like tai chi, easy to learn and easy to learn, easy to learn, easy to learn, offensive and defensive, and grasp the opportunity of fighting in every inch through the grasp of rhythm. DriveX as a whole belongs to the "comprehensive", "easy to play", "high value" racket, attack agility, easy defense, fast and slow rhythm switching with ease, the control of the rhythm on the court is very strong, suitable for golfers who like to change the rhythm of the assault to achieve a confrontation advantage.
