Overview
I tested the Victor Sonic Boom Pro — an offensive racket with sharp paint and a price tag just north of 300 yuan. Hard to beat on value. My unit is azure blue; finish looks great and feels properly built. Frame markings include POWER BOX. Sonic Boom Pro uses a 76-hole box frame — excellent anti-torsion and very stable on contact. Full Carbon Badminton Racket means full carbon construction; frame rigidity is reportedly strong. Shaft diameter is 6.8 mm with moderate stiffness — beginner-friendly, not brick-hard. Shaft decals use hot-stamp gold — clean visuals, premium texture. Up close the finish pops even more. Fibre Reinforced System is Victor’s reinforced lamination stack for stronger frame and shaft anti-torsion — likely why max tension hits 32 lbs. Standout feature at this price: suspended handle. Suspended-handle feel for 300+ yuan is genuinely good value.
On-court impressions
I removed the cap and played straight away. Head weight is mild — not heavy. Frame and sweet spot are generous with high forgiveness. Stability is excellent; basically aim where you hit. Frame damping is solid; shaft elasticity is lively — not too stiff, not mushy. Contact is neither dead nor harsh; swing weight stays manageable. Basically zero entry barrier — an easy, sweet offensive racket whose performance is hard to believe at 300+ yuan. As an attack frame, clears and smashes feel satisfying. Power transfer is thorough; shaft performance is strong; placement comes easily. Smashes exit fast with real threat, accurate landing, and good chain speed. In doubles it works rear court and front court — very complete in match play. I tried singles too: low barrier, not tiring, low stamina drain, stable control — excellent for beginners.
Summary
Sonic Boom Pro delivers broad, stable performance at a friendly price — newcomers and veterans can both pick it up. Beginners get an easy, good-looking starter offensive racket. Veterans tired of heavy frames can switch to Sonic Boom Pro to control rallies, take it easy, and still punch when needed. Stable and satisfying either way.
