Exactly, they are evidently miles apart from regular racquets. On the other hand, I wanted it compared to my trusty AT700. Yeah, there is no way to tell if it'll fit our individual taste as I found out when using VT80, something just didn't click for me (luckily, I borrowed and playtested it for about 2 weeks before concluding it was not for me) . Well, those sorts of things are what makes us eager to try new racquets (probably an excuse on my part).
The colour scheme isn't too bad, really! Rest assuredly, (if it's a HIT) they'll come up with variants of the same.
Probably across the line since Yonex likes to keep their line distinct ie head heavy, balanced, head light .. so next should be Z-Swift for the Nanoray
Some JP products eg Bag are quite distinguishable from their SP counter parts. If i am about to buy Yonex Bag, i will choose JP bag for sure, because it is quite well built & more solid than SP. some people here agreed that JP shoes are more comfortable & durable than SP shoes Prices is quite different by a wide margin too..
I think it is noticeable because the JP version of the SHB-86 is the SHB-65FT is lightly and the quality is better than the SHB-86 with is basically the (EX) the international version. I am considering in getting the SHB-F1 LTD (JP)
These are Canadian coded, made in Japan like all the top-end Yonex racquets. Only the Canadian coded racquets are warrantied by Yonex Canada.
Glad to hear it. I have just recently bought SHB 102MD JP however i have never worn any SP shoes before, therefore i could not really do comparison by myself. Additionally, a friend of mine who bought & worn SHB 101LTD JP & SP back & forth, he is able to spot on the differences on cushioning right away. However since the price of JP shoes almost double the price of SP's, i am wondering which one is better, buying 1 JP shoes and use it for two years, or buy 1 SP shoes for each year. In two years the cost are the same, however we have a brand new cushioning each year. What do you think, guys?
