LCW new racket 2012 anyone knows ( Yonex Voltric Z-Force ) ?

**clawhammers** · 03-08-2012, 03:06 AM

@Juventus1

Thanks for the tips mate

Btw, are u sure that we should lower our string tension until 1/2 - 1 Lbs for VTZF ?

Care to explain the reasoning please ?

VTZF racket head is smaller than normal Isometric head, therefore the same tension of string would give higher stress to the VTZF frame, than normal isometric frame.

If your normal tension is 25, by using same string you should string your VTZF at around 24.5 or 24 to give similar feedback as you would get on 25 tension normal Iso head.

In my opinion, since you are switching between ISO & Oval head racket back & forth, adjusting your timing for VTZF is just like walking in the park. Place your order for 4U VTZF quickly, then i could go there for trial

Oooppss... I am losing control when talk about VTZF...

Sounds good in theory, but what percentage of string length are you sacrificing with the ZF over a normal ISO?

If say length-wise the head is 5mm shorter than ISO, that's only a 2% difference, which equals 0.54lb @ 27lbs.

So let's say 0.5lbs

What if you are switching from oval to iso head heavy racquet? Should I keep the same tension?

Finally, I had this racquet in my hand at All Englands. i also saw the limited edition which is due out in June - very nice although I prefer the green.

Yes, it's heavier in the head and stiffer than VT80. Sadly I wasn't allowed to have a hit with it but will get hold of one very soon so that I can write a review.

Hey there, i'm back.
It looks like my Photobucket bandwidth has exceeded the limit already.
Shoot. My photos can't be displayed.
Anyone knows a good photosharing service other than PB..?

Anyways, Part 2 or my review is still going on, and this due to the fact that i tend to take a while to get accustomed to new rackets.
I'm working my best to give good findings on the VT-ZF, but it might take a while though.

UPDATE: I decided to go Pro with PB, so that solves my issues there.

For those who missed Part 1, you can find it here:

@Licin

Thanks dude. FYI I apply 26 Lbs for my CAB30/CAB35, and 27 Lbs for my VT70.

Probably I shall apply 26 (or perhaps 26.5) Lbs too for my VTZF.

I shall chat with you concerning my plan for ordering VTZF bro.

More head heavy and stiffer than vt80? Hmmm I dun think it is going to be The racket for lesser skilled players like most of here. Sounds that it not going to be kind to our arms
