Victor Badminton Rackets: The Technological Edge You Need

In the fast-paced world of badminton, having the right equipment can make all the difference between victory and defeat. At the heart of every player's arsenal lies the most crucial piece of gear: the badminton racket. It's not just a tool; it's an extension of the player's arm, a conduit for skill, strategy, and power.

Among the myriad of brands available, Victor has established itself as a frontrunner in the badminton industry, helping players of all levels excel.

The Taiwanese manufacturing giant began its journey in 1968 after its founder Mr. Chen Den Li founded a company to manufacture shuttlecocks. As the feather birdies gained recognition on the court, Victor started production at its first racket factory in 1976. Since then, the company’s badminton rackets have been known for their quality, build, and durability.

Victor is the official partner of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Badminton Asia (BA). The company regularly works with renowned players such as Tai Tzu Ying, Mohammad Ahsan, Hendra Setiawan, Kodai Naraoka, Lee Zii Jia, and Anders Antonsen to create successful badminton racket models that deliver on the Victor promise of excellence.
