Can everyone that has experience about FZ FORZA please tell me some about it. Rackets, shoes, strings, shuttlecocks, clothes, grips and more I'm interested to hear about.

And please compare with other brands.

Thanks.

mok, do a search, you will get tons of opinion on the Forza racquets.

forza's a great company.

I own a FZ ti tech 1400, its a great raquet. All i need is to replace the factory strings, which is horrible. That won't happen for a while, cause badminton season for me is over. I get a bit more power as my other raquet which is a black knight ti-sabre (110 cdn). But my black knight was strung at 20lbs bg-65. That is pretty good, considering my forza has shitty strings.

Forza t-shirts are cool...

You probably get more power from the black knight because it's heavier? Or is the black knight 3u as well? Maybe it is the string..

one of my friends is sponsored by forza, she says she likes yonex racquets better... as they have slightly better feel and more durability...

Forza is a decent brand. The racquets are generally 3U (just under 90 g), so slightly lighter than Yonex which are most often 2U. Apart from that, the models come in all varieties, isometric, oval, long, regular, stiff, flexible... depends on what you're after. If you like your racquets heavy then look elsewhere.

I have a Ti Tech 1600 and I'm very happy with it. It's probably got some 250 hours of playing time and is holding up fine.

The shoes are good but only for those with narrow feet. Good value for money, though.

The grips are excellent: especially their overgrips are fantastic and last forever, quite a bit thicker than other overgrips.

The finer grade shuttlecocks are also very good, definitely comparable to Yonex and RSL in quality.

I think they have two types of string, but I don't know more than that... I can't really say much about their clothes either. But the bags are good!

So, all in all, Forza is just another brand, but they have a good overall line of products. It all comes down to what characteristics you're looking for. I'm hoping to see some more forward-thinking innovations in the upcoming new models... Their R&D department have been a bit lazy the last couple of seasons...

I think its the strings.
Cause the black knight was about 90 grams and the 1400 was about 86 grams. Not much difference in weight.
