Thank you ants, for giving us a chance of winning a VT-ZF.. Seems like this racket is really a breakthrough from YY, combination of AT700's power (i believe you refer to the 1st gen), NS9900's speed which is incredible, and MP90 flexibility which is just perfect. What a concise review you have written... I guess i need to save money really soon, since i am not the winner of this contest.
Dear Ants, Thank you for the Review, CONGRATULATIONS to the Very Very Lucky Winner!! for the rest of us, ahihihihihi we have to burn our pockets again. ahihihihhiii ^.^ After reading the review, i actually ordered the racket, at first i was hesistant because of smaller head like the Zslash which i have to take more time to "adjust" Congratulations and Happy Badminton... Its All England Time, hopes LCW wins again. ahihihih the racket sales will be off the Rooffff.....!!!
Thanks for the review. You have the advantage to be there first hence the hours putting the racquet to the test with a respectable 27 hours to review it properly. I believe truly that they may well be in the same league as the venerable AT 700 original! However, I'm intrigue with the *Hint* thingy! This can only mean there is more (translation: greater offerings) to come from YY! More power to you!
Although now I can foresee some people bringing out their car polish to try to polish some shine into that matte paint in order to make it more aerodynamic...
I would say the matte finish is much needed otherwise it'll be too swishy-fast aerodynamically speaking? Although I trust 100% that ultimately, racquet swing speed is what makes for a potent and powerful smash! As for the car polish, which brand do you recommend if ever...? Heard Monkey Snot is a good brand.
Ahhhh too bad I wasn't home when the review came around. Congrats to whoever won the racket =). Thank you Ants for hosting this review and contest! It was very generous of you to give out a free racket. The review looks good! Makes me really want to buy the racket, though I probably won't since I already have two rackets which are dear to me. Having the Z-force would be just a cherry on top of what I have right now and personally, I think my money and time is better spent on improving my technique rather than my equipment.
Just read this, too bad I was asleep, I'd been checking the twitter page every 15 mins during the day as well... Looks like I wont be getting this racket, can't afford it.
Power of the At700, speed of the 9900. Sounds like a N90 copy! At any rate, Power of the AT700 has my attention, now I really want to try this...
speed of 9900!!!!!? I am really intrigued...I always worry that this racquet will be slow due to head heaviness...
dont buy yet ...if paint is ur concern trust me u will regret after seeing VT ZF LTD edition for LCW later on just before olympic begins...
YY might take offense regarding VZF being an N90 copy since they have their own venerated ones to improved upon. Anyhow, any racquet mentioned in the same breathe as AT 700 is worth a try.
more user friendly than vt80 whereas it's been head heavier and stiffer. power of at700,speed of ns9900 and flexibility of mp90. very much tempted. can't hardly wait to get my hands on it
Wow it just came out and we're talking about LTD edition already?!? But it's true... The Evil Empire know how to make an extra buck or $40 slapping LTD on it.... I miss the AT900PLC yellow
They did it last year with the VT80. About the same release times too (I think). So I'm expecting the LTD version to released just before AE or Olympics. But this time...I'll just buy one version of the racket (whichever one I think looks good and in the specs I want).
