Copied as is . Not sure why he did it this way but glad enough already he added the actual weights. Doesn't seem to be an error as the 91's from the initial are still in the SW column ...
And here's the table for VTZF: [TABLE="width: 500"] [TR] [TD][TABLE="class: grid, width: 363"] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]G[/TD] [TD]SW[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]3U4[/TD] [TD]88.5[/TD] [TD]92[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]- p ]5 p- [ h+ W: j+ a x; u[/TD] [TD]88[/TD] [TD]90[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]3U5[/TD] [TD]89[/TD] [TD]92[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]1 W6 ]; P4 r% ?, W% [" z N 8 I3 V" u/ x, ~6 X" {[/TD] [TD]88[/TD] [TD]91[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]4U4[/TD] [TD]84[/TD] [TD]87[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]- q8 E6 ?' l3 p; M2 a; C3 B+ t ; n7 u( ~2 H2 b[/TD] [TD]82.5[/TD] [TD]88[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]4U5[/TD] [TD]83[/TD] [TD]88[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]- A7 i' e3 f6 J" ~[/TD] [TD]82.5[/TD] [TD]87[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So the 3U ZSPD is very similar in SW as 4U VTZF. But in the hand the 4U VTZF is much more maneuverable because it's obviously lighter by 5g. This is reflected in my experience with them both. Despite same SW, the ZSPD requires noticeably extra effort in all strokes. I'd say it almost requires the same effort as 3U VTZF.
Played another 3 hours again tonight. That's a total of 12 hrs do far...yes, with feather birds. Haven't gone back to my ZF yet nor have had the urge either. Loving every shots. More control on the drop shots, back n fore hand n the smashes are getting in as well.
Not surprising that you haven't gone back to ZF, as you're still enjoying using a "new toy" which has been freshly strung etc! Have you had issues with frame hitting given the slightly smaller head frame?
You're right with the new "Toy" thing but everything's going right at the moment. Racquet is the same length and one never hit with the bottom of the frame anyway, so the shorter frame hasn't been an issue at all.
Sounds good. The MX-90 (if it's similar to MX-JJS) and Z-Speed are the next rackets I am keen to purchase. The reviews on the Z-Speed so far look promising.
It's okay, I've never bought a racket that I wasn't happy with actually (except some Apacs 6U racket that I bought for fun). I've bought even balanced to head heavy rackets for the last several years and I've been able to use them all effectively. For me, buying a new racket is mostly for fun (to get the "new toy" effect hehe), as no racket has ever really made me play better or worse.
Currently using 3U ZF, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a ZSP should I buy 3U or 2U? I am hoping the balance point of a 2U ZSP might be better suited to a player who is currently playing with a HH racket is that incorrect?
Once the timing kicked in the power smash is almost the same. ZS being faster makes up for the lighter head n defense is so much easier and faster. Can't wait to play again tonite.
Almost 2 weeks and they're now starting to show up on the For Sale forum... http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/133199-Yonex-Nanoray-Z-Speed-(-JB-MY) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...int-slightly-used-YONEX-NANORAY-Z-SPEED-(USA)
Here's one for you in SG. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...d-for-sale-in-Singapore?p=2145922#post2145922
Enjoyed the ZS again for 3 more hours...ZF is history...sorry, it was great while it lasted. ZS, being less head heavy has been less strenuous on the wrist, and being more maneuverable has been a bonus in fast rallies. Transition from the ZF wasn't that big a deal after all. However, I just couldn't get used to the AS11, NR700RP nor the NR800.
I did try it when there was a limited edition in purple, available only in the 4U in Canada. Found it too light to have any momentum in clears and smashes.
