    Wait, what? Z-Force II is LIGHTER and less stiffer? I was under the impression it was the reverse....

    Could have asked nicely :p

    I hate removing and putting overgrips back, for some reason it just doesnt feel the same for me.

    Anyways, I did it, and new measures:

    Balance Point (more precise measurement than previous one):
    - Z-Force: 320mm
    - Z-Force II: 315mm

    Shaft diameter (measured with a vernier caliper, at the middle of the shaft):
    - Z-Force: 7.0mm
    - Z-Force II: 6.9mm

    Weight:
    - Z-Force: 86g
    - Z-Force II: 88g

    Stiffness (by feeling for now, will be more precise when I receive my stringlab):
    Original Z-Force seems slightly stiffer

    I don't know why the weights aren't coherent with previous readings, I used the same scale, which is supposed to be good quality and did multiple readings both times. Anyways, these weights make a little more sense.

    Well, I bought VF2 and it's a great racket. Much better feeling than VF1. Not so head heavy. Great feeling actually!

    Forgot to say that I like the new grommets quite a lot. It was very easy to string and the new grommet strips prevent the string from covering the grommets quite well.

    Just finished stringing two frames...noticed during stringing, which was a pleasure, that the grommets alignment is similar to the Z-Speed so maybe it'll have the larger sweet spot as well. Strung with LiNing AP101N just because I have some, @ 26/28 #s. Will be trying them out tonight for 3 hours...one is for demo.

    Has anyone here gotten the 3U alternative to this beast? I really love my 3U VTZF2 but was wondering what others may think about it

    [MENTION=43562]Frost[/MENTION]bite. What are tour thoughts on the 3U alternative just by giving it some swings? Does it feels a little like your 4U VTZF? And what about your 4U VTZF2? Is is much faster and powerful than your previous VTZF?

    Yeah, it feels a little like z-speed as well. It's also quite similar in the aspect that either you like it or you hate it.

    Some may find it demanding. But IMO, I find rackets such as 2U NRZSP and 3U VTZF 'VERY' simple to use.
