Well, compared to any N-series Li Ning, they are, but just swinging the ZS around I have to agree - it doesn't really feel extraordinarily light. It has a very head light feeling on impact though (at least to me). Just swinging, it feels rather close to a Bravesword in weight and speed, but in actual play it's just two worlds. Concerning the racket length - if they were in fact shorter, you would've noticed. 1cm shorter makes a huge difference, you'd mishit all over the place Hoping the handles aren't too short though - I like longer handles, like on the N70. Makes me grip higher around the net (as I always grip with my index finger just below the cone when serving/attempting a kill...)
He is still using the original BT Feather (sold as handball shoes in Europe: Feather Elite). These later versions have a hard plastic/rubber looking AdiTuff patch (http://heppo.no/mediaarchive/1246792/adidas-performance-feather-elite-w-1028638.jpg) rather than the canvas looking thing on the first version and the upcoming 'new' BT Feather ... Maybe the old stuff works better than the plastic . But you are right: the hours a pro turns in in 2 months will last a normal user half a season to a season. But the model is too narrow for me anyway to even consider trying it ...
Kwun: Have you tested the Adidas Switch racket yet? The concept interests me; and whether it will work or not.
As of 03/14/2013, the clock shows 11 more days. 10 days postponement. This is the second delay. What's wrong here? marketing, production or retail outlets that's not ready?
