someone's trying to rip you off on the jjs... think about it , why should a 1 yr old victor racket be more expensive than the latest and greatest 2 wk old racket from yonex?
Silvertoes, i dont think JJS cost that much in Msia, at least from famous online seller in Klang Valley. JJS is around Rm500 last time but not sure for now as i dont think it will cost more than Rm550 for a new 1, except u get from Far East. Since your location is at KL, try searching Hi Badminton Online at Facebook which is legit and well known online seller if you are looking for Z Speed, Rm550 for frame only, selling like hot cake so far
lol Visor that really make sense.. yea Lemollin, the figure of RM600 is what i get when i asked that Malaysian Official Victor Distributor.. and E Lin also sell it for the same price. Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely look for Hi Badminton Online
Paul has been giving 5 star ratings to certain Victor rackets because unlike many Yonex rackets which get a 4.5/5 rating, the Victor earns that exta half star due to value for money. It's nothing to do with bias. Paul gave out 5 star reviews to Victor rackets when he was being sponsored by Yonex.
IMHO, Victor has many well rounded rackets. Yonex has too many one-trick-ponies that do one thing very well but fails at others. The Arc series are an exception!
I'm aware of that. However, we are all human and prone to bias. Completely agree. In my opinion, mentioning a racket is a "one-trick-pony" reflects that the user has "one-trick-pony"-equivalent technique/physical conditioning.
yonex has its share of rounded racquets except that consumers prefer the extreme ones. victor's focus is probably on a rounded population, less on extreme types, so it might not even matter which model you use by that argument.
I was lucky to try out the Z Speed yesterday, and I can summarize it in one sentance.... "Plays like a Z-Force, sounds like a Z-Force, but it's Z-Force's younger twin". It's one of the heaviest rackets I've ever held - even at 3U. But it smashes like a 300 pound bat hitting a ball..... wow.
We are not all LCW or LD. If we go with that argument, then demanding rackets like the ZF and N90 would be considered all-round rackets. However in reality we buy rackets to enhance our strengths or improve our weakness. The Arcs are perfect for almost everybody. The Nano's are one extreme and the Voltrics are another. And the Z's are an oddball. I would still like to try a Z-Speed though...don't mind a less head heavy version of the ZF!
i like my muscle power 99. I am thinking of buying a new racket to complement my mp99. Can anyone advise me whether this NRZS suits me.
Heh... I demoed the exact same one 2 wks ago. Seeing that your go-to is a 4U VT80, do post back your impressions relative to it.
Will try my best to post a accurate review on this racquet. I have tried the z-force 3u (too head heavy) And nanoray 800 (feels heavy weighted but head light) (could not generate any power) The only other racquet that I adore other than my v80 4u, would be the mxjjs (which took me by surprise)
