With badmintoncn logo on it ? Oh your source Here is the badmintoncn thread but is also not the original source I'm sure http://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-331976-1-2.html (through translator http://translate.googleusercontent....1.html&usg=ALkJrhhfuWWHnDOvoumUHY0XPvvtYx6YIg)
It's medium flex. probably going to be located near to VT70 in yy chart. just wait for the release date and the RRP in Japan.
It seems like Yonex are turning all their racket to lighter direction. Arc-FB with F6/5U and now I-Force with 5U version.
This is yet to be seen. Personally, i would prefer Evil Empire to study market acceptance on Arc FB, they will then be able to construct their new racket in accordance with market taste. With this leaked information, it seems that Evil Empire has already prepared it in a similar time with Arc FB.
how is the islash a failure, its a great racquet, in fact its my favorite racquet, planning to buy 2 more of them, strung with NBG99 @ 28lbs is excellent on net play and control i have 2 other people looking for new racquets and they both tried my islash, they loved it, much easy to control and handle and also generate potential power they both agreed to buy 2 each, so i don't understand how you think the islash is a failure?? you actually need time to get use to a racquet, the zslash took a coach i know 8 months to get familiar with, islash took me 3 months, but 1 of the mate pick it up and adjusted immediately so again, it depends on the person's playing style, its never the racquets fault, 9/10 is usually the player hasn't found the correct racquet for his playing style i've been through and bought many racquets (8-10) and islash was the perfect racquet for me, the iforce maybe a perfect racquet for some players, many players dislike the zforce being too head heavy, if the iforce was abit head lighter and is a med flex racquet the wippy feel of the racquet could make up for the potential power that you could get in the zforce, and it could then be a doubles choice racquet also
