LoneRanger thanks for the lovely review of the Voltric Z-Force 2, I'm looking forward to trying the racket for myself when it comes out in London and someone has it or when I decided to buy one since I love the Voltric Z-Force
Lolx...how can a badminton racquect not reco for a wrist type...badminton is bout wrist...train your wrist...
I meant to say this: Because a more flexible shaft translate great for weak wrist players. Not stiff shafts aren't good for wrist players. So, again I shall correct it. "THIS RACKET IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PLAYERS WITH ''WEAK'' WRIST' But u could train your wrist all in hand
I take it that when people say "train your wrist" they really meant train the forearm as wrist is a joint not a muscle.
I wondering the same question. If you flap/twist your wrist, you see your forearm muscle moving as it is connected to it. So are you actually training the forearm muscle or what?
But I don't recommend this racket for 'WEAK' wrist players not just because their forearm may struggle to control this racket, this can be easily settled with forearm training yes. But another reason is beacause so people's wrist joint easily gets hurt and or feel painful when stress is applied onto it when flexing.
But the 3U version sort feels like the VTZF but has a faster swing due to the aero. I prefer it over the VTZF 4U and NRZSP 3U.
As I only play doubles, I'd be more interested in the 4U. I've played with the original in 3U before and found it too headheavy for me. Nice enough though. I really like the look of this one but will wait for the 4U reviews first.
Ok. But with the 3U variant already being as snappy as the 4U variant of the VTZF IMO. I think the 4U variant will be even faster.
I think get one of each when I can and feel the difference. Also face the wrath of my wife since I've just brought 2 rackets recently. I have the original in 3u and 4u, and have left the 3u to gather dust as it was too heavy for me to use after a while in playing and also I'm not good enough to use it properly. Yet the 4u was much lighter and less demanding and became my main racket.
Gripping closer to the cap during net and mid-court, then back to handle for smashing and rear court gives you the best of both worlds...IMHO.
Very true. Grip up or down depending on your needs during the game, whether for power or maneuverability. One rule of thumb for whether a racket is maybe too head heavy for me is to grip it low near the butt to the point that my fifth finger is floating.
