    How head heavy is the ZF really? Is there any racket to compare to ?
    I had the Li Ning N90ll for awhile and thought that was abit too heavy for my taste tbh.

    Im really tempted to get the ZF just for the fun of it.

    ZF is head heavier than N90II.

    ZF is quite forgiving... I would like to have both 3U & 4U in my bag though...:D

    The Z-Force should be stiffer and head heavier than the 80, and much more so than the Arc10.

    You think the ZF is forgiving? Even if you don't think it's hard to use, I wouldn't go that far..

    VTZF head is heavier than VT80. However, when hitting the shuttle you will notice that VT80 head heavier than VTZF. It is due to the unique design of VTZF frame which is semi iso as opposed to VT80 which is ISO. Additionally VTZF shaft is slimmer as well.

    Arcsaber 10 on the other hand is a nice racket for all around. If you like to have an offensive racket VT80 & VTZF racket is out there for you to purchase.

    If you find it to be not forgiving, then you are certainly entitled to do so.;)

    No I understand that it's all up to one's opinion, I just find it kind of hard to believe. It was pretty tough for me to use and I don't usually have much trouble adapting to rackets. I guess it could have been the string tension though, I am definitely not a fan of high tensions with plastics. :p

    Nah I totally agree that it's not forgiving, my elbow is taking on a toll right now because of switching from a stiff ti-10 to a extra stiff zf. However still respecting ones opinion I can see that some players have no problem if they've used this rackets before.

    Back to the point at hand, zf is stiffer and more head heavy than the n90II, but not the N90I.

    ZF 4U definitely would be easier to tame with as compared to the 3U. I would like to have both 3U & 4U in my bag. I would use the 3U when i am fresh, & will use 4U when i am occasionally under perform the other day.

    For Thread starter, Green ZF is stiff, however not as stiff as ZFLTD.

    Well sounds like ZF isn't for me. VT80 though seems abit more tempting.And imo VT80LTD looks are just amazing! Arcsaber10 and VT80 big difference?
