oops, totally forgot about what i was going to do, anyway, the zforce is a very nice racket, just as solid as the zslash. i find that when i whip the zforce around, i can still feel it bend, so it's not too stiff for me as i am used to playing with victor superwave 35. i had it strung with bg70pro because san diego badminton doesn't carry victor strings. it is still a very good string for my playing. i think i enjoy a bit more power from the bg70pro than the control on the vs850 but i'm not sure yet. i just loooooove the color of the racket since purple's my favorite color, so everytime i come across it in my room i stop and stare at it for a little bit. oops, by the way, mine is the zforce 2012 olympic limited edition, so it's 4u as well. i have only recently been able to play with a 3u head heavy racket since i also have a voltric 2 2012 limited edition, in purple as well.
DAMN YOU! hahaha I want to buy a Voltric Z-Force 2012 Limited Edition, but its still pricey in England
I use both 2u Arc10 and Arc Z-Slash for singles and doubles. They are fine and I don't find them heavier than either 3u N90 or VT-ZF when I swing the racket.
Z force all round for sure is superior in attacking Play Imo.. PROVIDING: You're able to use the z force properly. I personally use to prefer my z force, assuming i could just increase my fitness to sustain the same level of play that would compliment this racket... but unfortunately i cant be bothered reaching those fitness levels lol, so z slash is a better choice for me
just wait for the z speed, then you have another racket to think about before spending 200 on a racket
