    Don't all NanoRays have that widebody side profile? The overall size/surface of the frame is smaller than a normal iso. I think it is quite clear in this pic (and the colour spec for Z-Speed is orange like what they are using):

    All the better - I don't want to put 32 lb into a bent piece of spaghetti...

    Regarding the colour, could it be a tie-in with the 65FT shoes?

    Possibly. TV/RGB is notoriously bad at capturing fluorescence, so it could just be a straight 'neon' orange. However, it could also be like the Z-Slash, which is a metallic neon.

    Almost no retailer charges the Yonex sticker price, though - we can expect 10% to come off that (but yes, still stings... especially when you've ordered two of 'em).

    So no 4U and no Extra-Stiff !! And does the line above "MADE IN JAPAN" say release date? October 2013?

    Well no 4U was known from the beginning and stiff only makes sense (so we can still wait for NR900 :D).
    I think the TW will be October 2013 then indeed :). JP out this month or at least September ...

    Will there be an NR900? Hmm... may have to rethink this one...

    I don't like the look of it, and for that reason I'm out.

    Banatyne speaks:D.

    I'll probably have to sell mine if the NR900 comes along...
