I agree I strung my VTZF with NBG99 @27 Lbs too Power output seems to be better, and Control felt more solid. IMHO
Had a bad outing with my VT-ZF (3UG5) the last couple of weeks. Last week...I was fighting a cold (no energy) and was absolutely dreadful with my VT-ZF. Miss hits galore . Lost 1st game due to unforced errors and barely passed double digits (I think I got 11 points). Switched to my N90II and won the next 2 games. Last night...my back was bothering me all day (pain on lower back). No miss hits this time but I lacked power in my smashes . Lost 2 games. So switched back to my N90II and won the next 2 games . So basically...if I'm not 100% I shouldn't be using my VT-ZF. Thought I'd share my recent experience.
My experiences have been very similar. Two days ago I used my 3U ZF and, being on top of my game that day, it was incredible to play with. Powerful smashes, great control, everything seemed to repulse off the stringbed so easily. When I'm not playing at my best though, it's a pain (sometimes literally) to use. I most often fall back on my F9 or, what do you know, my N90-II like you
my friend used an isometric 600power until he finally broke it and he bought the zforce and he mishit so many shots it's just funny. but after a while he got used to the racket and his game was back to normal
Wow I've had the same experience; when I'm feeling "on my game" or energized I play well with the z force but when I feel fatigued or not 100% I have a lot of mishits...it can be quite frustrating Although at that point I switch to my Lethal 70
That is why i have an idea to own 3U & 4U Green VTZF. Choose whichever suits my condition at a given time.
Oh i see... VTZF LTD is definitely looks sexier & snappy as compared to the green one. I have own 3U VTZF LTD, i did not really like it, thus i sell it. I have never tried the 4U version though, will have to try clawhammers 4U VTZF LTD. On the other hand, i have tried 3U & 4U Green VTZF, like them both...saving money to buy those..
From some of the above posts...some people think the purple LTD version is a tad stiffer than the orginal green version.
you know, at very first time I used VTZF, I this racket is more energy-consuming than VT80, then after dating with VTZF for a couple of months, I found "Massive Heavy Smash" is true. My friends said receiving my smashes are more difficult than using VT80. So, right now VTZF is really my type of racket. VTZF is really my number one racket.
Don't get me wrong. I love my VTZF. When I'm 100% (or close to it)...I perform better with it. However if I'm not feeling well (60% and probably shouldn't be playing anyways)...then the racket is a beast to handle.
sorry. If it's a bad day, not only you, I'm also can't perform well in a game. But, this racket is truly beast, hard enough to tame this. More than taming a lion, taming a dragon maybe?
Anyone here knows any trustworthy shops or website in France or German that offer the cheapest price for Z-force ? I've found a couple of website that sell Z-force included string for 159 Euro, I'm worry if It could be cheaper ? http://www.badmintonhandel.de/badmintonschlaeger/yonex-voltric/yonex-voltric-z-force-ltd-2012-besaitet-mit-yonex-bg.html thank you in advance
Is that price including shipping? If yes, that's probably equivalent to or only $5 USD greater than the best prices I've found so far.
not yet, because I'm living in France, the shipping cost will be plus 13 Euro. But I'm gonna by 2 pieces, so that shipping cost will be less pain
thank you for your advice, probably i might go with this website. moreover, this price has already included free-stringed NG98 too
If I was you I'd get the racket without string and have it strung by the usual stringer. Got a racket from badmintonhandel.de once, and the stringjob was horrible, 20lbs or even less....and the service was bad as well, although that should not be an issue when you're only ordering rackets. I've made good experiences and heard good things about tennistown.de (although it's not my usual shop either). I guess ordering from outside Germany they're your best bet...
