Yeah, I had to double check the URL, cause I thought I was in a Physics forum... We all know that YY propaganda make up claims that are both unprovable, and unrealistic in a club level game, yet we're all gullible enough to fall for it and discuss...

This is why YY marketing is so effective...

Actally, the shuttles they tested disappeared shortly after leaving the racket, re-appearing about 50cm further.

I heard it makes shuttles disappear and reappear 50 seconds ago, so if you see a shuttle appear from nowhere in the middle of 16-13, it was/will be the smash that took it to 14-16.

And largely why I struggle to want to buy a Yonex.

In any case, it won't make a difference to any of us anyway

Maybe for some magical reason, the zig zag stringing pattern makes the shuttle spin less/more in ZF?

Sounds like a nod of approval to YY manoeuvrings.

Well, I am easily gullible, YY is like a delicacy (the tyre thing...I'll just treat it like gummi bears

)...so to the point, I'll just fill my bag with Cab 50s and ZFs and won't mind the PHYSIX of it.

anyone got link to watch how YY test their racket?

My guess is ANT's Z-Force review might be posted in this thread?

According to at700.com the ltd edition will be released in May in gold. Perhaps to represent Olympic Gold.

Thanks to george@chongwei for the picture all the way from Malaysian Open 2012

In Zhang Jun's case it stands for "kiwi muffins/hr".

did anyone post this before?

Kwun you are the man!!!

see this link =

Within 10 days (and 6 hours - as of the time of my posting here), Yonex USA would announce the release of VT-ZF

Yonex' marketing department sure do have a big issue with reality

Sounds like a job for the Mythbusters...

And it was up at our favorite frenchies already for a while

(but too small to read so not worth posting really)

Here is the lab test with VT80 on video and the idea behind it (@~2:00) and supposedly taken a step further with VT-ZF:
(to note: from the ARC-ZS speed test as mentioned some posts back, the speed measurement is taken from the point before it even starts spinning; hence also the huge differences with speed measurements at games during broadcast)
