External Review for Victas Fire Fall FC on January 9, 2019

This is a good All+/OFF- blade. I have the new version, which has a simple wood and blue design. The blade has nice finish and great craftsmanship. The wings are pre-sanded. The FL handle is very smooth and comfortable. Mine weighs 80g and is 6.10mm thick. I glued Yinhe Big Dipper (38 degrees) on FH and Xiom Vega Pro (2mm) on BH. The resulting racket is 178g, but it's extremely head-heavy. In terms of playing characteristics, the feeling is a bit muted, probably due to the fleece carbon layers. I didn't like this, as I generally prefer blades with sharp clear feeling. Even though Victas categorizes this blade as OFF, it feels very soft and slow. I would rate the speed as between ALL+ and OFF-. Throw angle is medium high, which I like. Control is very good; I have no trouble with ball placement at all. I am able to generate huge amount of spin, but my shots really lack speed. This blade is definitely not suitable for Chinese tacky rubbers. Even with tensor rubber (Xiom Vega Pro is a fairly fast tensor), my shots are still not as fast as I wanted. Looping is ok. But drives and blocks are less than satisfactory. Again, this is due to the softness of the blade. I would only recommend this blade to allround players who largely focus on spin and control. For offensive players, I suggest finding a faster blade than this one.
