    Hello everyone! I'll be buying a new Yonex racquet but what should I choose?

    Voltric Z-Force II?
    Nanoray Z-speed
    Arcsaber 11?

    Actually I need a racquet good at power,speed, and control but tell me if the Voltric Z-force II will really torture your arm.. Especially when it comes at smashing...

    Z-speed is crap.

    Z-Force is really head heavy and Arc11 is a great alround racket with superb control, but not THAT powerful.

    The Z-speed will cause more harm than anything else.

    I played with the ZF-II one game. I didn't find the power generation lacking, but it is what I would consider really stiff. It was really fast and aerodynamic.

    Never tried the Arc 11, but according to most people, it is MUCH better than the Z-Speed.

    I currently play with the MX-JJS, if you would like to know about this racket, I can tell you more about it :p

    I recommend the ZFII 4U. The best Yonex racket I tried beside Arc8DX. I'm not a Yonex fan. I bought my last Yonex 6 years ago. If I'm would not be so happy with Victor I would have 3 of them in my bag.

    If you're looking for power, go for Z-Force II.
    If you're looking for speed, go for Z-Speed (Warning: Feeling is horrible).
    If you're looking for a compromise between the two, go for ArcSaber 11.

    I have the Z-Speed and the Arcsaber 11. I have played with the Z-Force 2, Agree with Robert really, for attacking power and nice fast swing speed through the air, ZF2 is the one. If you want a quick agile racket for net and generally then its the Z-speed but it does take time getting used to.

    I would get the Arcsaber 11 as its a nice all rounder, even balance, great for defense, decent power if used correctly, fairly fast and give great control. I use it as one of my back up rackets. My main racket currently is the BS12.

    Kindest regards,

    Pardon my ignorance. I have never played with Z-speed, so I really don't know but I was under the impression that it is not as fast when it comes to net play. Wouldn't it be head heavier than Arc11? If it is, I would say Arc11 would be fastest among the 3. I have to agree.. VTZFII 4U is the way to go.

    The overall weight is the same (3U). Maybe the ArcSaber 11 is less head-heavy than the Z-Speed, but the Z-Speed swings at least as fast as the ArcSaber 11. Which results in more power, while not being slower.
