    Frankly I haven't lay my hand on VT-07 yet
    but according to review from some lucky people who already tried prototype of this "coming soon" racquet
    the prototype is in black with no cosmetic on it, but could be easily indentify from the unique grommet
    it is combination of both power of Armotec 900 P and fast handling of ArcSaber Z Slash ...
    you can imagine how good it is

    So basically they have made a Victor SW35, with a different grommet system, and will charge 2.5 times more.

    for SP model the price should be around $150 (USD) I guess.
    I think Victor Super Wave 35 is about the same price?

    Every people I know who ever tried the arc Z say it's not a good one....
    They should go for even balanced more than head heav...

    Current babies:

    1. Kumpoo PowerShot 2300 Hexagon 3U (BG66 @ 25Lbs) --> I love this baby!
    2. Victor BS11 4U (NBG98 @ 25Lbs) --> i dislike this baby of mine and plan to get rid off of it for better!
    3. Kumpoo Trerake 170 (BG65 @ 22Lbs) --> only for wrist training
    4. Benseni NanoFormula 11 3U (BG?? @ 22Lbs) --> thinking of donating this baby to someone else!
    5. ---


    Soon-to-be-adopted babies:

    1. Victor SW35 3U with BG66 @25Lbs --> present from Santa Claus for this Christmas
    2. Yonex AT700 3U with NBG98 @25Lbs --> thinking of adopting this when the price is slightly off
    3. Flypower Tornado 800 3U --> when their marketing is ready to update their so-lack-of-information website, then i'll have this!
    4. Li Ning N50 3U ..or N55... the one Fu uses? but the price is currently still higher than hi-end Yonex racket!

    #1: Prince Axis 68 @ 22 lbs.- R.I.P. after 3 years of abuse. Every time I smashed, I felt like I had just fired a shotgun, with equal results of damage displayed to my opponents.
    #2: Prince Axis 61 - Finally found one after two weeks. My friend had it sitting in his closet for 8 years. Will be restrung @ 22 lbs. Can't wait to use it. Less power than the Axis 68, but still gets the job done.

    The Axis series were notorious for string breakage and low durability, but I personally never had any problems. I've snap in half countless other rackets.
    Anyone got an Axis, I'll buy it off of you. msg me. ^_^

    Among the rackets I have (valid for now):-
    1. AT900T (Great in defense yet able to generate decent power in smash and drive)
    2. ARC8DX (just started using it not too long ago and would probably take over No 1 spot)
    3. NS9000X (Though it is headlight, the extra stiff shaft and 2U weight are causing some problem in wielding it with ease. Control is excellent)
    4. MP99 (Since picking up badminton seriously, this is the first racket I have acquired)
    5. ARCZS (It was great when I started using it. But I am beginning to feel its flaw)

    1. LN N90 (+N90II) The best singles racket I've played with so far. The N90II is really similar, but a bit less head-heavy for lazier days when I dont wanna move around that much weight.
    2. LN N50II Best doubles racket for me yet - really fast around the net, great feel and precision and even greater smashing power.
    LN N50 Very similar to it's successor, but slightly stiffer and lighter feel. Very very controlled with greatest touch, but I cant utilize all it's power yet.
    Even so, the smashes are very powerful. Mighty doubles racket.
    3. YY ARCZS My second in singles and doubles - very light compared to the N90, but with giant head speed for powerful smashes. I got great touch with it and the defense is good as well.
    4. PP T2 Shares the second place in doubles with the ZS, even lighter, but surprisingly less head speed when smashing. Faster around the net though, and awesome for returning flick serves. Very very controlled racket, 2nd best touch.
    5. LN N70 A very controlled racket, which makes it ideal for accurate defense or halfcourt shots. Not enough smashing power to be amongst my favourite doubles rackets though.

    That list is a work in progress - just like my racket stock. I think the PP Precision will be a worthy opponent for the N50s when it arrives - heard great things about it and it sounds just like my next doubles racket!
