    I currently use a 3U Z SLASH (Taufik Hidayat) as a main racket. It really packs a punch, but im just looking to find a new toy to play with that could potentially be my new main.

    Anyone made the move from ZSLASH to Nanoray Zspeed? I predominately play singles. Just want a glass cannon with good defense

    It seems that alot of people think Nanoray Zspeed is a "weird" racket. Could it be because they think nanorays are head light but its actually head heavy?

    Is the transition from Zslash -> Zspeed difficult?

    I've used both rackets and I liked the Z-Slash more. Sure, the Z-Slash has that timing issue - but once you're used to it, it's actually a nice racket. But I absolutely hate the Z-Speed! The racket could've been so good: It has a very good attack and is awesome in defense, given it's relatively head-heavy balance, but there is absolutely no feedback (feeling) with this racket (even at high tensions). To decide, if it's a racket for you, there's only one way - you have to try it. Maybe you'll like the "special" feel of this racket.

    in my experience, the zslash and the zspeed have really similar flexibility, in that they are both pretty flexible to me. they both also distracts me a little because of their colors. other than that, i just see them as part of my flexible rackets that i own...both 3u even balance.

    So you think there is minimal difference? I can just go ahead and buy it as a new toy?

    Can z-slash withstand +28Lbs tension? I heard this racket is quite fragile.

    yes and quite easily.

    I tried z speed today and doesnt feel as special as z-slash. Not sure why though but maybe i just need to play with it more.
