lol! You know, this racket is pretty good looking, and I haven't bought a Yonex since the Z-Slash which I tried super hard to like because it was so flurescent...... Reckon I could still sell it for 200 bucks a week later when I hate it?
maybe a 4u would be easier to handle considering the bp and sw( from at700 website) VTF [TABLE] [TR] [TD="class: t_f"] [TABLE="class: t_table, width: 50%"] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD] weight (g)[/TD] [TD] SW[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] 3U4[/TD] [TD] 88.5[/TD] [TD] 92[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD] 88[/TD] [TD] 90[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] 3U5[/TD] [TD] 89[/TD] [TD] 92[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD] 88[/TD] [TD] 91[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] 4U4[/TD] [TD] 84[/TD] [TD] 87[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD] 82.5[/TD] [TD] 88[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] 4U5[/TD] [TD] 83[/TD] [TD] 88[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD] 82.5[/TD] [TD]87[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

I got to have a swing with probably the first vt z-forces in perth. Definitely feels head heavier and stiffer than the VT80. The matt paintjob is exquisite!
i just got a piece of 4ug5 today.. really one of the few matt colour white finishes done by yonex paint colour is excellent with black,white n metalic green. i suggest anyone who strings it to use luminous yellow, it looks very striking. a white colour grip added to it will be a good choice the cone n shaft no is not very clear due to the white colour, trying to find it out is oso hard.. the yonex logo sticker above the psbi logo comes with a tri colour background ( red-yellow-blue-silver) the whole feel is very good in the same class as its other voltric brothers being head heavy..
Looking forward to seeing this racquet at All Englands next week. So far I haven't received any news from Yonex regards when it will be on sale although my guess is April. There will also be a limited edition due prior to Olympics which will be in gold. I haven't seen any pictures of the limited edition so this may be subject to change. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
this racket is available in many markets already. australia, asia, US, Canada all have it on March 2nd.
Kwun Yes, you're right, but the UK is always late. We will get the new racquets, clothing, bags and shoes from May when they are already available now. That's the way it is. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
When I order from Directsports i UK it takes about 5 day to deliver to Sweden. Do you know the time to delivery if order outside Europe? I want to order but don´t want to wait for two-three weeks
I'm leaving my credit cards at home on Wednesday, but I'll have a go if there's a sample(s). Doubt they'll be strung high enough, though... Yonex's new howitzer at 23? Nah - no point!
VTZF Balance Point Balance Point test for 3UG5 VTZFs. Dry BP of 309mm, 310mm & 312mm for some of the rackets that i managed to test. Coincidentally, they all are set at where the 'Z' is....

No coincidence Held the 4U version at the German Open today. Awesome-feeling piece of kit. But not worth 169€, not by a long shot.....I'll wait for the first or second wave of 'couldnt-master-it sales'. Or just not get it at all for a year or so
So it is available in Germany finally. I'm from Germany too and play in the forth and fifth devision... greetings from Germany to Germany. I just wonder if even sport-klauer will want 169€... since I haven't paid that much for a racket, I mean 169 squid? Come on
I guess that was just BSL24 milking the GO crowd for what it was worth. They even printed the catalogue prices on all the old rackets, making the usual prices seem special (like Arcsaber 10 - "Now 145€ instead of 199€!"). I guess the release price will be 149€ as even the VT80 didn't go for more. But bsl24 is really not high on my list of good shops, they were incredibly sloppy with my last order, gave me wrong information and the prices today were a rip-off. (They sold AT900s for 105€ when they went for 99€ last year... ) Those new polo shirts were nice, though. Nearly got myself one, then decided to save for my WISE instead^^
Does the VT-ZF have a thicker frame than VT80? Does it also have a bigger frame size than AS-ZS?Also, anyone got a comparison between VT-ZF and Li Ning N90 yet?
