    we have just received these in this morning (along with the new FZ Titanium 10000 also) and it is rated as 10/10 for power on the shaft, so its possibly just a typo in the brochure... :-/

    find us on Facebook

    may be I'm abusing your trust, but: Could you tell me what the bp, with grip and strung racket? Whenever you have time to check, of course, I don't wanna be annoying.

    Ah nice! I get mine next week, together with the new Ti. 10000 and N-Forze 10000 I-Power. Can't wait to try them on court! The catalogues have more typo's in it.. Pretty sloppy, but luckily we are here :D

    I'm thinking of buying a pair of Forza racket (first ever!) but the hi-end rackets i could find in Indonesia are Forza Ti210 N-Forze CNT (cost IDR 500,000) and Forza Ti270 N-Forze (IDR 625,000) and Forza N-Forze 88 (IDR 720,000). For complete specs http://www.gunturbadminton.com/120--forza

    Any idea which i should be getting? And how about Forza durability? are they durable enough to withstand 28+ Lbs?

    btw, i play double most of the time, intermediate player, attacking style (do lots of clear & smashing), i tried VT80 3U and my wrist got exhausted very fast, but i like the feeling & power of it. I've never tried Forza so no idea how it feels. I'm looking something like this (roughly):

    Head Heavy --|-------- Head Light (8/10)
    Extra Stiff --|-------- Extra Flex (8/10)
    Attacking ---|------- Defensive (7/10)
    40 Lbs -------|--- 25 Lbs (26-28 Lbs)

    Any advices regarding these rackets are extremely appreciated. Thank you

    Next friday I will get my own CNT X-Power 10000S!! I'll tell you my impresions when I tested it. By now I had the N-Power 10000S in my hands and I can say that it looks gorgeus and feels very very good. stiff range of Forza is stiffer than stiff range of yonex, and 3U weight is lighter than the Yonex raquets. I can't expect for the x-power, head heavier than n-power 10000...
    PD: Maybe because of strings, I don't know, but N_power 10000 is head heavier than the announced especifications:304/302mm in front of 290mm, as appears on catalogue. That is better for me :-D

    I will only be able to post photos of X-Power.
    I had my hands the N-Power because of there was a shipping error and sent me this racket instead of the X-Power XD. I had to return the first racquet. But I have to say that looks so much better than photos of catalogues!

    Well, only because you asked so nicely :p

    Here are some quick pictures of the Kevlar 10000 X-Power (blue), the Kevlar 10000 S (Purple) and the N-Forze 10000 I-Power (gold). The "X" delivers great power, the "S" is an amazing allround racket and the "I" is very fast and powerful because of its slim frame and long shaft. It is nice to feel that Forza is developing so rapidly and the rackets get better every season! Both kevlar rackets and some rackets from the titanium series are able to withstand string tensions up to 34 lbs!

    Enjoy the pictures! :D

    The frame profile of the I-Power looks interesting. I would like to see some frame profile shots. Maybe someone can deliver, please!?:):):) Thanks.

    **MODS PLEASE DELETE THIS DUPLICATE POST**

    here ya go! (i'm sure i posted these before somewhere...)

    its a bit difficult to show in pics, but its essentially a thinner version of the head on the 10000 kevlar rackets with the "angle" at the front...

    @ Badderz_Alpha: Does the I-Power have a slim frame like the Arcsaber Z-Slash? This could be an interesting combination. An Z-Slash with Sword profile and woven. :)

    @Wheelie: What's your price of the I-Power include shipping to me (Germany)?

    It kinda looks like the Z-Slash, with the slim frame and longer shaft.. But luckily not with those hideous colors :D I can send you the 10000 I-Power for €145 (without tracking) and €150 (with tracking). PM me if you're interested!

    That 10000 VS is very, very tempting...
