The DriveX 9X (DX-9X), from 2020, is the racket in Victor's neutral-balance line that debuted the Free Core handle, developed over three years to reduce vibration. It combines this more flexible handle with a 6.6 mm stiff shaft in Pyrofil and a frame with Nano Fortify TR and Hard Cored. It comes in 3U and 4U with a G5 grip and accepts up to 29 lbs in the 3U and 28 lbs in the 4U. It is fast, stable, and balanced between attack and defense, ideal for doubles and for those who like a drive-based game.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%65
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
