    I'm interested in this too, I want to try Virtuoso Pro blue & Virtuoso pro II black.
    Virtuoso Performance (AVP) was a little too flexible for me but still a very good racket. I prefer stiffer rackets like my Victor Bravesword LHI.

    It looks and feels very nice, I wanted no symbol on the strings but I forgot to ask for that, I will do that if I order more once I have played with it. I ordered BG66ult because BG80 yellow wasn't available. The frame shape looks identical to the Virtuoso Performance but does feel a little stiffer. The colours are a big improvement for me though. I will let you know how it performs when I have used it on Sunday.

    Do you mean the frame looks like Virtuoso Performance or Virtuoso Pro? From the pictures it looks to me more like Virtuoso Pro not Performance.

    I've not used the original blue Virtuoso Pro but the black Virtuoso Pro ii has a very similar looking frame to the Orange Virtuoso Performance. I prefer the black and yellow of the V Pro ii compared the Orange and yellow of the V performance.

    The Performance has a channel on the inside of the head where the grommets are located. This channel starts at approx the 6th cross from the bottom and continues to the top of the head. The pro does not have this channel. This is why the head of the racquet is more like the original Pro and not the Performance. The outside of the frames are almost identical though.

    I had forgotten about that at the top of the frame. The rest of the frame looks the same but that part is different.

    Ooooo... so the only difference it's on the inner lining of the frame only?? can't wait to give AVP II a try... but sadly, not many of my friends using APACS... sigh..

    It's a standard black finish, not matte like zf2 but not too shiny either.
