Just so many factors to take into account. Yonex has never released what smash speeds the Ti-10 achieved. And to be honest in my opinion (which is of course subjective), TBH smashed harder and faster in gameplay when he used the Ti-10. Anyway, from my viewpoint, I'll only be interested in the racket if it's at least slightly head heavy.
Sure looks awesome up close! How much speed will be generated if Muhammad Ahsan were to use this racquet... hmmm

Yes - I found the English version and couldn't delete the Japanese one I attached to my post. I would expect headlight or even, because a head-heavy Nanoray makes no sense... it would just be a Voltric.
By looking at the bulky frame, it doesn't seem to be headlight. Most likely to fill in the gap in between NR800 and Arc Z-Slash --> Just my simple guess
I'm somewhat disappointed that a 4U version won't be available since the other NR racquets have a 4U version.
Source? Even if it's true, it's not in-game smash speed. It's clear Yonex is going to market this point heavily. I really doubt most people will notice a dramatic improvement in smash speed while playing relative to their older racquets.
Source is the Yonex video, they mention LCW's hardest smash after TBH's. Just like the ArcZS, this will not help anyone produce a faster smash in normal conditions - the test is completely different from the official measurements at tournaments as it's in a no-pressure situation and uses a different system to measure shuttle speeds. Watching the KKK/TBH game against Kim/Kim will show you how true that is...
