Editor's take

Anders Antonsen signature edition (model code ARS-99 J). Per Victor official: extra-stiff shaft with even balance, 4UG5 spec, max tension 31 lb. Frame combines High Resilience Modulus Graphite, Metallic Carbon Fiber, Nano Aerogel, and Nano Fortify TR+; shaft pairs that with WES 3.0 and a 6.8 mm profile. Wooden handle (rare in Victor's flagships). Designed for advanced players who can load the stiff shaft on concentrated power strokes — soft swings under-utilize the engineered flex.

  BadmintonCN: Auraspeed 99 J review (Apr 2026)

  4U/G5 strung 93.54g w/ underbase, balance 295mm, 6.8mm shaft 210mm. 76-hole stringbed, 9-3 line slot, max tension 31 lb. Anders Antonsen signature (ARS-99 J). Alloy carbon fiber + WES 3.0 + nano-aerogel + 46T carbon + Resilience Shield. Surprisingly large sweet spot for a wing-frame attack racket. Driving threshold higher than 90KM despite similar balance. Concentrated short power strokes are rewarded with sharp downward snap; soft swings under-utilize the engineered flex. Reviewer rates the 99 J as the best 'feel' racket Victor has produced — a statement piece, not a 90KM upgrade.
