I first saw the Arcsaber Z-slash on this site: http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/products/news/013-zslash/teaser.html If you click on Function -> New Control Support Cap -> you will see that the part where the grip meets the cone there is a rubber band. Yet, lately I've decided to go look for one locally at authorized dealers that they are all just finished with the good old black tape (CD version and SP version). So does that mean only the Japanese version comes with the rubber band?
lol ok? dose the rubber band even matter? it looks like the same exact rubber band yonex uses on their tennis rackets.
I was trying to identify what is authentic and what is fake. Now I know since I have bought myself a JP 2U version.
