    Agree with most of the feedback from Unleash. ZF2 combines both speed and power at fair scale without overwhelming each other. For double games 4U is recommended especially for long hours play (aggressively). It has better control and feeling on every shots played compare to NZSP.

    This are my personal view from few weeks of play with the ZF2, kudos to Yonex :)

    Hi, I just want to ask this question even it isn't related to the topic...

    "Does Yonex Aerosensa 60 exist?"

    Hi Bro Soulsync,

    May I ask your comments on how ZF2 compared to MX JJS, MX 80, BS LYD & C7 if you have any these rackets? In term of performance like speed, power, accuracy, maneuverability, etc.

    Thanks :)

    ^
    Not really good in doing racket comparison / reviews
    I'll try share as much possible based on personal experience and game play
    May not be applicable to others tho haha :)

    Speed : MX90 > ZF2 > MX80 > JJS
    Power : ZF2 > JJS > MX80 > MX90
    Accuracy : ZF2 = MX80 > JJS > MX90
    Maneuverability : MX90 > ZF2 > MX80 > JJS

    Weird. I thought ZF2 and MX80 are on par on all the categories. Maybe it's just me xD

    My rating would be: ZF2 = MX80 > JJS > MX90

    For the power department: my rating would be ZF2 = JJS = MX80. Just different feel that's all. Depend on your preference.

    One more point i would like to highlight that ZF2 is NOT forgiving at all. Proper technique and accuracy of hitting the sweet spot must be there, else you will either end up with a big mishit or definitely a mid court return.

    I must be honest and cautious all people intended to get one. In case you buy with great expectancy and end up disgruntled with the racket.

    Probably mine is a 4U ZF2 vs. 3U MX80 comparison
    Wet weight @ 90g ZF2 (bp305) vs. 94g MX80 (bp298)
    Is very much on the player preference and techniques i guess :p

    Thanks for all the sharing. I have used Zspeed recently. It is a good racket. To me, it is flexible and slightly head heavy. Let me update the comparison to include NSZP.

    Speed : MX90 > NSZP > ZF2 > MX80 > JJS
    Power : ZF2 > NSZP > JJS > MX80 > MX90
    Accuracy : ZF2 = MX80 > JJS > MX90 > NZSP (due to its smaller head frame)
    Maneuverability : MX90 > NZSP > ZF2 > MX80 > JJS

    Any comments from the floor??
    :)

    just to be clear, have you even used the other rackets in those comparisons?

    if not, then your post has no meaning...

    Juz to chip in since NSZP is in the pix. Owned it earlier.
    All rackets compared are 3U except for ZF2 which stated earlier a 4U ;)

    Speed : MX90 >
    ZF2 > MX80 =
    NSZP > JJS
    Power : ZF2 > JJS > MX80 = NZSP > MX90
    Accuracy : ZF2 = MX80 > JJS > MX90 > NZSP
    Maneuverability : MX90 > ZF2 > MX80 = NZSP > JJS
    Shot Feeling : MX80 > ZF2 > JJS > MX90 > NZSP
    (This is very personal though)

    ^ now that got my attention!

    a 4u racket that is more powerful and accurate than the other 3u rackets, and still near the top in speed, maneuverability and feel...

    Yeah ~ but is on higher scale of 4U weight
    General info on the rackets compared earlier

    ZF2 : 90g @ BP305
    NZSP : 97g @ BP295
    MX80 : 94g @ BP298
    MX90 : 92g @ BP295
    MX JJS : 95g @ BP300

    Personal favorites in using the ZF-II : Drives & clears :p

    Hi, thanks for the information. Would you mind sharing what level of player are you? For example, at club level, are you "labelled" as A or B or C etc? Thanks in advance - just helps me understand your assessments better.
