    This racquet is way better than the FB. This one has POWER and is very nice looking matte finish.

    ^ Someone should tell Ratchanok post-haste! She needs to put safe distance between herself and the FB... :( :p

    i just played with mine briefly for a while, i think this racquet's going to keep the FBs in the bag!
    it feels just as agile and quick as the FB with a nice swing speed. although the shaft's rated medium, the racquet is whippy enough to give good power, i might have preferred a slightly stiffer shaft though. a smaller face, with nbg98(jp) string at 24x26 which is the usual tension gives the racquet a tighter string bed and a feel of better repulsion over the FB.

    nevertheless, please do not take my experience to be a perfect reference, i spend most of the days playing headheavy racquets these days that many light racquets do feel rather agile and quick to me.

    i love this racket, even it's 5U either smashing or driving it still can give a punch that u need. i owned VT60 before and i can see the i-force head a lil bit bigger than VT60. maybe yonex want to compensate the light weight without losing the power.

    i-force is my dream come true.

    - It is a 5U racket
    - It has G6 size
    - the JP version of this racket is only 10% more expensive than the SP.

    yea!!!

    Got the I force and really like it a lot. I'm an advanced beginner so this is my personal opinion. Also brought it due to recovering from a weak wrist and this should help me get back into badminton :) also I quite like the color scheme and the pink isn't really that bad. Not a girly candy pink :)

    I mean I'm in between a beginner and intermediate if that makes sense. I know I don't have the footwork and even my grip is wrong so I wouldn't call myself an intermediate. Well that's my definition :D

    Hi p2user,
    i like the i-force also, due to my elbow n shoulder injury, this racquet is like enough but not overtly fragile. Most imply it offered the right balance n feel for me. it's my go to racquet after trying voltric 80, arcsaber10and FB.
    I had over the past months collected 3 thus far after trying my hand on it in Nov last year.
    Each of this has different strings. The best I enjoy thus far is nbg 99 n bg66maxima at 24, all JP version.
    The 3rd one has bg66um but it's a SP version thus feels abit slackish. Will try on the JP version once my patience wears out on the current one.

    just sharing my pleasant experience with this racquet, hope you continue to derive more joy n enjoy it too!

    Has anyone try to compare this to other rackets? Arc FB? Voltric 80?

    FB imho is too fragile n delicate thus may not last long. Its advantage it's speed offered by its light weight.
    Voltric 80 is too stiff imho n those hard hitting but injury prone player like myself will find Itaht it may aggravate the injury.
    Thus I-force filled this gap, it's light enough to offer speed n not as stiff to offer power smash when u need it.

    How does it feel when playing the shots? (Clears, drops, and smashes?) Does it give a lot of feed back with the racket is hit hard?
