2014 Yonex New Racket (Voltric Z-Force II / VT-ZF2)

I grew up sceptical and became cynical over time, which came first for you?

 

I think the same order as yourself lol. You learn from experience that often times that skepticism is justified and warranted, and then seeps in additional cynicism. Lol.

 

I can't wait for the Voltric Z-Force 2 BS edition.

 

there is a certain liquid called "magic water" that you can spray onto your personal belongings so that if it was stolen you can tell if it's yours under black light, you can do that to your racket

i am glad you brought it up again because once in a while i'll need reassurance that me buying SP version of a racket isn't better than a US version of the same racket. with my personal experience i see no difference in them.

no offense to LCW because he is very cut, but i think the Tron suit only fit those who are muscular and a bit more bulky, probably at least twice the size of LCW to begin with

then again the pros might be using whatever racket and it's repainted with another racket scheme?

 

It's called SmartWater. Ain't for me.

 

Keita Masuda, the Japanese coach, is praising the ZF2, so it must be good right?

 

Can't wait for this racket to be released! This will look awesome with light blue strings (or white strings with blue Yonex logo) and a black grip, and if it plays similar to VTZF and not like ArcZS I'm more than happy!

 

So LCW is used in the advertising for ZFII. However, which racket has he just won Malaysian Open with? Erm ZF as I see it. So, for give the question, why isn't LCW using the new super-improved ZFII?

That said, I can't wait to review this racket, although I fear it will be at least 2 months before I have one to test.

Already available in rakuten.. http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/proshop-yamano/item/vtzf-2/

 

I've heard about rakuten quite often... Is it trustworthy to buy stuff there from Europe?

 

Dude, LCW needs time to get used to ZFII. Is not like he can pick up any new racket and start winning tournaments. Especially in M'sia Open, his 10th title. He doesn't want to mess it up.

 

I used it to buy all my badminton equipments. Not sure about Europe but I used Rakuten Japan. Of cause, you need to have a JPN address to order. Rakuten is now competing with Amazon. I'm sure it is trustworthy.

 

So you would have to get it shipped to a japan addy then redirect it via friend to your location?


waaaaaat

 

No, shipped to my parents-in-law and I will pick it up when I travel back.

 

That wouldn't be necessary, there are some sellers at Rakuten who are willing to sell to international customers. They will ship it by International EMS.

I always buy my string and overgrip, i.e., Nanogy 99 and AC-143, from Rakuten.

 

Which reseller you bout it from?

 

There are, at least, 2 sellers who are willing to ship internationally =

I live in Japan and use these two shops regularly. They are as trustworthy as you can get.

 

They already have the racket in stock? I had no idea it was available yet.

 

Wingu,

Rakuten sellers usually provide discount up to 25% of the recommended retail prices of Yonex Japan.

However, I note that there are other online stores in Japan who provide discount up to 35%.

But it seems that they do not ship internationally.

No. It is a pre-order. VTZF-II would be available in late February.
