    I am thinking hard right now - should I even consider selling my F9 Ltd for this racket? Seems to me it's like a faster and better control version of the F9 Ltd... it's a Nanoray.... that's where the power is totally outmatched....

    Actually the MSRP is 26000. There is japanese VAT/GST at the rate of 5% of the item price

    Therefore, yonex japan set the price at 27300, which consists of 26000 + 5% (1300)

    This calculation also applicable for all other produts as set forth in the website www.yonex.co.jp

    :)

    So early adopters are actually willing to pay a premium to get this racket so that they can post their subjective impressions on how this racket suddenly improved their smash speed by an extra 200kmh?

    the same can be said for any victor racquets or any other brands.

    nothing wrong with early adoption, if its fun, interesting, why not?

    Just found this

    img60431825.jpg

    Meaning, Nanoray ZS will be less headheavy than NS9900

    I dont understand the logic behind this chart anymore.... why YY puts Arc-FB on the bottom-left section of the chart, whilst the BP of Arc-FB is categorized as even balance..... (at least it should have been equal/below Arc 11)

    ^ A 3U or 4U version of FB, if it existed, would probably be closer to Arc 11 's spot, but the FB being 6U is where it's at on that chart.

    Hmm... then the X-axis of this chart doesn't put the static BP of rackets?

    but perhaps it elaborates the swing weight / dynamic head-heaviness/headlightness ?

    Really curious about the "snap back" technology in z speed. Is that really implementable without causing instability in the frame (frame tend to bend back / forward under high tension) ?. Putting this technology in the shaft (below T join) seem to be more logical and reasonable to me (probably easier too).

    its important to have it in both the frame and the shaft.. having it on the shaft alone is not very useful.. the issue of frame stiffness, resilience etc has not been very well talked about nor addressed
