    So it's looking to be very much like a 4U VZTF in swing wt and head shape.

    Was just at the store.

    WTH!? This thing swings harder than a 4U VZTF or VT80, or even a 3U MXJJS or SW35!

    Compared to a 3U NR800, it should not be even called a NR.

    Some buyers are gonna be in for an interesting surprise... :eek:

    Good to know - I enjoy using 3U and 4U VTZF (previously used 3U VT80). May buy this racket some time next year if more positive reviews come in.

    Yes, it's quite head heavy and pretty stiff. I'd even say a tad more so or equivalent to the 3U VT80 on hand.

    It's a hammer. No wonder it can smash so much faster than Z Slash.

    +1, totally agreed, I also was at a Badminton store and I ended up dry swinging it. My reaction to it being called a Nanoray = :eek::eek::eek:

    So, I guess it should be called "younger brother of 4U Z-Force"?

    Played again with it tonight. Confirm the thing about the paintjob...light racquet clash caused a well-sized chip.

    In my opinion it isn't right to compare it to the 4U ZF...it isn't AS stiff and is certainly more maneuverable, but I think it's lightness and speed comes in during its swing, not just from holding it.

    For me, my overgrip probably causes it to have near even balance. Still figuring it out, but so far liking it.
