Key Features

• Lightest in the DriveX Series — The 1L A is Victor’s lightest Drive X racket, available in ultra-light 5U and 6U weight categories. Less weight means faster swing speeds, quicker net reactions, and significantly reduced arm fatigue — ideal for players who play long sessions or are still building their physical conditioning.
• Aero-Hex Frame Technology — Victor’s aerodynamic hexagonal frame cross-section improves airflow around the frame during the swing, reducing drag and enabling smoother, more stable stroke play. Every swing feels cleaner and more controlled.
• SevenSix76 Grommet System — Victor’s 76-hole single-pass grommet design minimises string-to-frame friction, extending string life and maintaining consistent tension over time. Reliable, predictable shot response match after match.
• Even Balance Point — The even balance distributes weight uniformly across the racket, giving you equal capability in attack and defence. Perfect for all-round players who need versatility across different shot types and court positions.
• Slightly Stiff Flex — The 7.0mm graphite + resin shaft provides a slightly stiff response that offers the right blend of power and control for developing players — responsive enough for touch play, stable enough for confident smashes.
• Graphite + Resin Construction — Premium materials throughout the frame and shaft deliver lightweight durability, effective vibration absorption, and consistent performance over thousands of hours of play.
• 5U & 6U Options — Choose the weight that suits your playing style. 5U (lighter) for maximum swing speed; 6U (ultra-light) for the fastest possible racket head speed and net play.
