    So let me see if I've got this right......the Z-Speed now not only theoretically makes the Arc11 and Z-Slash redundant, but also the Z-Force?

    :confused:

    Seriously, 43.2g?

    seriously 43.2g. 1x grip and 1x overgrip on a 3UG5, that is measuring with visor's method.

    the z-speed may have made the z-slash seem obselete, but it plays differently from the z-force. swing speed/headweight is not everything. the arc11, my 2UG4TH is in the same headweight range, it plays differently too.

    So the 3u z spd is much more faster than 4u zf? Then how about the energy consumption? The 4u zf is exhausting me within 2 hours of fast pace double, need to change to a lighter racket after that...

    Ouch! Time to head over to the cosmetic counter and look for matching nail polish in that orange colour to touch up that area.

    OMG. Yonex better buck up on the paint job - the last few rackets have been poor in handling clashes.

    Yeah, that's not going to be an easy fix. I think I got lucky that my chip is all the one colour and not near any of those shiny decal things.

    But it's not matte paint. It's flippin' glossy!

    Doesn't bother a huge amount because sporting equipment is never going to stay mint for long. Just thought it was something I ought to mention for the benefit of those who do care.
