    Man, like seeing an old girlfriend only to realise she's still hot, I saw Kenichi Tago play with his Z-Slash with yellow strings and I was like 'Damn, that is still the hottest, most obnoxious racket out there. Maybe I shoulda kept mine"

    Have I lost my mind? :eek:

    I have to say that while it's not my every day go to racket there are some days that when I know I'm on I can really kick but with the slash. When I'm not on though, I stick to my arc10 or AT900T

    My main go-to's at the moment are the Bravesword 11 and RKEP AT800TEC.

    I had a Z about a year ago, but I'm a much better player now. However both my go-to's are pretty forgiving rackets and I pretty much exclusively play doubles at the moment so as you can see I'm not thinking rationally. :cool:

    I played a game with the VT70 and thought it felt a bit weird, so I don't know how the VT80 is going to improve on that.

    I certainly didn't play with it and go "Wow, I must have one".

    VT80 is totally a different racket compared with VT70. It has the classic feel of yonex racket and it is head n shoulder above VT70 imo

    Well PG's Arc10 beat the s*** out of Tago's Z slash so there's your answer. Hehehe

    That doesn't qualify:). PG could've held Z Slash and beat Tago holding an Arc 10;)!

    PG's smash at 18-20 down in the 2nd would've sailed even further out if he had used a Z-Slash ;):p

    Ah, can't argue with you in that point, but PG's game could've been different altogether as well? Wins it anyways:)?

    That's a very different story with the fine SiW35. However, Z Slash has the bigger smash...hard to fault:D.

    Of course it is :) a good option mind you :D

    Might not have the largest smash in the world, but has much more control, and suitability. Easier to use (as I am sure you know):)
