I wouldn't go that far but I have to say that this is the only racket that feels like it is an extension of my arm so everything I do with it feels very natural.
Not supposed to be since it is a repainted TK8000. However the Legend 2 is a Thruster as well which is 5/5 for HH and 4/5 for stiffness. Catapult Technology, Multi Layer Graphene and etc.
the legend 2 should feel like the mx80 or the vzf i'd supposed. used the zforce a while ago. didnt like the hh and superstiff feeling. made my wrist hurt a couple of times.
The Vt-ZF has some flex to it compared to the MX-80 because of its head heaviness. Playing with the MX-80 is like playing with a wooden oar. The Legend 2 probably plays like a flexier version of the Vt-ZF. The Catapult Technology makes the bottom part of the frame flex too.
Agree with the ZF/Legend comparison, but I really, really don't think the 'catapult technology' has a big influence at all. It's a fancy-sounding feature to advertise the racket, imop, just like the 'world record smash' used to promote the Z-Slash (which was only the world record because it was the only test done that way).
This is the one racket I am looking forward to testing. I'm not sure when that will be yet, but no doubt before the beginning of next season. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
what about the racket feel after using it ? does it goes boom or just the sounding of the birds flying by ?? control ?? overall ?? what i mean is, is there a thread that give a full review on this racket ?
Don't think it particularly louder than other racquets but I definitely get more power with it than others I've tried.
Why would one racket be louder than the other? It's all in the type of string you use and the force you use for the shot.
Though you could argue that a hollow structure with a certain volume would facilitate particular frequencies of sound better than others, making for louder or quieter sounds ...
A sound filter isn't going to help you hit the shuttle any better. And, I've never heard anyone say they felt under pressure by the sound from their opponents racket. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
