    Formosa Plastics has developed Tairyfil, a PAN (polyacrylonitrile) based carbon fiber for high performance applications. Tairyfil is stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, as stiff as titanium, corrosion-resistant and will not rust. Our fibers have good compatibility with both thermoset and thermoplastic resins used in CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced polymers) including excellent compatibility and processability with epoxy resins. It is also available in various grades for different applications including high strength, standard to high modulus (33 Msi-55Msi) and small to large tow fiber (1.5K-48K). These properties and variety of grades allow Formosa to adapt to the needs of different processes and can be easily and quickly used to make a wide range of composite products.

    Smaller racket head. Trying to replace JS10? lol

    Everything 2.0 or 3.0 but still no free core 2.0. Not so exciting.

    It's clearly stated in the picture but it's in Chinese. I don't remember any Auraspeed racket using small racket head frame. This might be the first one. Also looks like PLUS version has stiffness went up a bit.

    Yup, was gonna say because you understand mandarin.
    Also, I thought driveX10X was the answer for JS10 isn’t it? From reviews it seems pretty stiff

    Based on how Victor divide their racket series, DriveX10 should be successor of MX80 or MX90 which were both quite stiff. JS10 is not just stiff, it's very speedy too. But I never own a Drive X 10 so I don't know exactly.

    I bought into the hype of the 1st one thinking it'll be one of the fastest in the auraspeed family because of the name. But boi was I disappointed. Its nice to see it get a stiffness bump and hopefully that holds true knowing Victors Racket response index is a hit or miss, but I still doubt it'll be as stiff as an JS10. If its true with the smaller head hopefully it will match the JS10 speed.

    Interested in the WES3.0, I always found rackets with this tech one of the easiest to give a nice clean whip even when underpressure. I wonder where the recessed portions will be placed and how large they will be.

    Another pet peeve to complain about, was the 4U tension warrenty is only 28lbs still when some other older models are like 29-30lbs. :/

    tested by lauching event, below is personal review
    compact frame but better tkfe frame, sweetpot is bigger easy suitable find hiiting point
    official mention shaff mostly going stiff, but feel like stiff only, and head is not so much heavy, make suprise is swing is so fast
    but for back court attack will leak abit power, on front and center have good form to press shuttle going land

    Is the TKFe really considered a compact head? Its just stretched and narrowed but overall still larger then say even some of the newer yonex rackets.

    I find the TKFE sweet spot quite generous. The Jetspeed 10 is a different beast though. Extra stiff and fast; super hard to time.

    Judging from recent photoshoot of Pranoy with Victor. Seems like he will be using ARS HS Plus.

    I did!
    Its a headlight racket with 4U swing weight measured about 83 kg/m2, compact frame and stiff shaft. Sounds familiar? Sure does!

    In simpler term, its felt like 1000z without its head heaviness. Its still carry some power with the whipping effect and yet still swing pretty fast as the 800pro. It falls right in between 800pro and 1000z in terms of speed and power.
