How come Voltric 70 does not come with Nanopreme while Voltric 80 does and yet they are in the same series? Is Yonex telling us already at this early stage that Voltric 70 is low end?

Guess, worldwide pricing is the only sure indicator?

**justinpops** · 03-03-2011, 10:28 PM

How much estimated price for vt80?

**pBmMalaysia** · 03-03-2011, 10:32 PM

On v70 launching, it was a good marketing gimmick, so secretly revealed..

Then the real thing came...v80..

I can imagine those who had earlier purchased v70

What if Yonex already have a number of new material technology just waiting in the wings?

What if say, VT90 comes with another technology and VT100 comes yet with another?

If you look at their technology history, they are not so fast so don't worry

Even though this time some customers for v70 are caught

If vt 90 or vt100 do come out, they would be very similar

Otherwise whose going to buy 1st gen new model next time?

Say, maybe the VT90 and/or 100 will have NANOPREME on the frame as well, creating a drastic reduction in thickness and width, especially at the non "Tri-Voltage" areas. You get all of the already stated properties of the VT80 shaft + greatly increased frame durability, tension capacity and swing speed. All yours for the price of 1.5 ARC-ZS.

I hope Yonex roll out the whole VT series in 2011 (w/o surprises please

, just improvements

). I hope it's not a long wait till the VT90 and VT100 comes out

Maybe nanopreme would have made it too stiff for it's positioning. The price difference is not that big ...

Look at the production date of the VT80 posted: December 25th 2010, introduction March 5th ... will check the records to see if there has been such a long gap before

Not familiar with Yonex's strategy regarding launch dates and actual delivery. Probably they've always made good margins. Strategically, they wanted their price tag to be similar to that of most brands but lower than Lining to recoup market share seized by Lining and Victor for the past year or two?

Anyways, I just like to see the VT80, VT90 and VT100 in their full glory soon

I definitely wouldn't call it low-end

Talking about recently, Yonex started with Arc 7 then it went all the way up to 10 and Arc Sabre. They also had their lower ends met.

Depending how the next VTs come out (either higher numbered or lower numbered), it is at least guaranteed to be in the middle already, for sure
