Victor DriveX 10 Metallic 4u

I had both Arc 11 Pro and DriveX 10 Metallic, all in 4U. They are different rackets. DriveX 10 is noticeably head heavier. Arc 11 Pro is a faster racket. I prefer Arc 11 Pro as I like even balanced rackets more than head heavy rackets.

I currently use Astrox 88D Pro 2024. I had a lot of hesitation before purchasing given my dislike of head heavy rackets and a lot of reviews saying so. I took a chance (after trying a friend’s racket briefly) and surprisingly, unlike many reviews saying it’s a head heavy racket, hard to use, etc., I found the racket only slightly slightly head heavy, fast, more friendly compared to the previous versions. So if you want a racket with a bit more oomph relative to Arc 11 Pro, the latest 88D Pro is worth considering.

These days, I read reviews with a grain of salt. Putting aside the possibility of some reviewers are sponsored, reviewers at the end of the day have different skill levels, preferences, and biases. So read mine with a grain of salt. If any of your playmates have DriveX 10 or any other rackets that you consider, worth having a few hits or even just a couple of dry swings before purchasing.
