You probably meant the Y-axis And theoretically, it should indicate how heavy a racket feels, but tbh they'd have to put the ArcFB way below any other racket. It feels like a freaking plastic toy! But yeah, the Y-axis doesn't only include the BP but how the racket swings overall which includes the weight and air resistance. Don't know if they actually measure it objectively or if they just have a bunch of test players rate the rackets (that's how it works with table tennis equipment).
Something tells me the ZS will swing lighter than we expect - tiny head and aerodynamic tech... come to think of it, it may swing less stiff as well: smaller head means more shaft.
Yeah, could be. Although for their sake I really hope they learned their lesson with the ArcZS and make this one stiff enough to keep torsional stability, not everyone likes playing with a bobblehead
They probably just do it based on 3U because every racquet has a 3U version with few exceptions. Of course that is assuming there is any sort of measurement at all on these charts which in a lot of cases ........
Isn't Victor's catapult structure at the base of the frame? Wondering if Yonex's SBZ being mid-frame would react differently. I guess the only way to know is to wait until it actually comes out.
There is something in the middle of the frame on thrusters too that in pretty sure is similar to the catapult system/SBZ
I see. But gosen "two kick point" seem to be identical with the "snap back" concept. Gosen implemented it both in the shaft (lower part of the shaft and around the T join).
yup! and if you have had noticed. the voltric 80 has this phenomena too, just that they didnt give a name to it. the thinnest part of the voltric 80 shaft almost corresponds to this "snap back" zone
snap back sound like flexi. better wait someone tried out and review first. nr800 is not tat stiff and worse feel numb.
at first i thought, lighter head, so less weight, so yes faster, but less stiff??? and then the next post............ perfect example of small head frame but still flexible, and the bobblehead gives a perfect image! catapult system, interesting...
I was sold on the 11% larger sweet spot and the flexible frame....now it's just waiting to see what that'll translate to in my game. Have always loved the smaller frame on the Z-Force, so am glad to have that again...nice and compact.
Bulge / bump in VT80 frame is more interesting than it's thin shaft. Thinner outer diameter is not the only factor in shaft repulsion, wall thickness is more important. I'm not saying that thinner shaft in VT80 is achieved by implementing smaller outer diameter (but smaller inner diameter too, so wall thickness is just the same or prabaly thicker) but it would be very interesting and appealing if they can manage to have both thinner shaft with thinner wall thickness too (like NS9900 wall thickness)
Had the racket in my hands on Tuesday, but could only do a few swings and strokes with it. So no final judgement. The rackethead is pretty small. And it feels heavier than I expected. My first impression: It feels really good at first glance, but is it a milestone or breakthrough? Probably not. A good racket if you need a new one anyway, but for me no necessity to change from my VT80 4U... For the fashion victims: The color scheme is killer!!! Really, really nice...
