I,m curious about this racket. I already have Yonex Armotec 900 Power and Victor Super Wave 35. How is this FZ rackets compare to both of the above mentioned rackets? Thanks.
The FZ Ti-550 seems to be designed as the equivalent of the AT900P. However it feels stiffer than the AT900P and less head heavy. Due to its 96 hole design on the frame, the strings are strung closer and the stringbed gives the sensation of higher string tension. It's a beast of its own if you have the strength to whip it.
The FZ is at least as stiff as the AT900P and SW35, but is 5-10 mm less head heavy; it felt to me like a slightly head heavy Arcsaber. The string pattern, IMO, definitely affects the racket, making the strings more difficult to bend but increasing control. In terms of power the FZ is less powerful merely because of the extra head weight of the 900P and SW35. The 900P and SW35 can both be found in 4U, but my 550VS was a heavy 3U (too heavy, in fact, which is why I sold it). It is, however, probably the best feeling and most stable racket I have ever tried - you can hit incredibly hard with it and it won't wobble or rattle. It also has probably the best quality of finish I have ever seen on a racket.
thank you mate for your sharing but if it is so good why you sold it? just because it is too heavy? but I think a lot of rackets are heavier than this one right?
every person have their own judgement. so one and another have different result too.. is it true jump-smash ?
anybody know the difference between Ti-550 and Ti-555 ??? they both are very stiff and head-heavy, both use 96 holes grommets. any different at all ??? thanks.
You may want to see this link http://www.forzabadmintonrackets.co...351404/Forza Badminton Racket Titanium 555 VS I think the difference are: 1. Ti-555 VS is a newer edition of Ti-550 VS 2. Ti-555 VS has multi wall carbon nano tube (MWCNT) on the frame and shaft, it was claimed to make the racket greater strength and durability which Ti-550 VS doesn't have. I don't know if the improved material will affect the feel and performance of the racket. But for sure since both of them are Very Stiff (rating 5) the stiffness should be the same. So it could be concluded that maybe Ti-555 VS has the same performance as Ti-550 VS but with better material that would enhance strength and durability of the racket.
I should have added that it was also too head heavy - my mot recent rackets have been either Nanospeeds or one-off Panda prototypes, making the 290+ VS550 feel very unwilling.
Hi Sealman, this model not yet available in Indonesia yet. Because I find that not a lot of people in here using it. Maybe it is just a couple of sample, but I don't know... not quite sure about it... as far as I know this racket not yet available in Indonesia. Maybe in short time, it will be available.
