    Can't decide which racket to get... Can anyone make comparisons in terms of power and handling between the rackets in a 4U version? Thanks.

    I currently have a Voltric Z-Force 2012LTD 4U and 3U
    I've tried the Z-Force 4U, I like the power that it gives, but I haven't tried it in a game situation so I can't tell. I'm hoping to get a pair of Z-Force 2 4U soon.

    I haven't tried a TK900 but what my brother has told me, the TK9000 its very stiff. Stiffer than the Z-Force

    TK9000 is definitely less stiff than ZF. I am pretty sure of that!!!!

    I can't say, as I haven't tried the TK9000 personally

    TK9000 plays between the VT80 and VTZF in stiffness. Balance is comparable.

    so I bought a couple of the zf2 4u and had a session with the tk9000 4u. Both are really nice! I think that the zf2 has good weight and stiffness combination giving a feel that there's good control with pushes, drives and defenses. Of course there is power there, if you catch the sweet spot, but I've been mistiming a bit, maybe due to the smaller head and a slightly smaller sweetspot. I think the tk9000 in 4u is actually even more powerful, slightly quicker even than the zf2 but it lacks that feel that I was describing with the zf2. Oh hell, I think I'll just have to get the tk9000 as well!

    Calvino after spending time with both, which one is better going from a 3UG5 VTZF 1st gen? I'm looking for something slightly less stiff/heavy yet has the manuverability/speed and power. I've heard great things about both rackets, whats your 2 cents about it

    Mark how big of a difference is there between the 9000 and 6000? Is the flexibility a huge jump or marginal, power and speed?

    Thanks

    I haven't really spent a lot of time with the zf1 purely because it was just too demanding for me. In 4u, I think tk9000 is slightly less demanding than zf2. If you're coming from a zf1 I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with either. In 3u, I found the tk9000 very demanding.
