Any new updates? New leaked images? Will the "Sonic Metal" technology also be featured in this new racket?
I'd keep a look out at the World Championships - it's entirely possible it'll be used there. The NR800 appeared way before the launch date...
It sounds quite promising . This guy that usually has the scoops from the AT700 forum apparently has seen it in person. Probably someone will be using it at the WC already yeah ... "Touched the NR-ZSP Color is also good: orange head and tail, the middle dark for the tone. NR Series but the appearance point of view, the feeling is the evolution of AT racket than NR800. No ARC-ZS so smooth, but the speed is faster than the ARC-ZS: ARC-ZS swing faster than a 10% increase, it is amazing. Feeling like NS9900 and AT900-T for human use, should be able to get started quickly. 4,8 o'clock EX-HMG recessed. Beat box (frame) is small, but, and ARC-ZS feel completely different: ARC-ZS feel a bit long, NR-ZSP feeling is a small square head. In order to increase the sweet spot 2点10 o'clock position of the weft some special, plastic blank with a white color glue sideways into the air, and BabolaT some racket like glue empty but how it increases the sweet spot, I do not know. YY should be tested in the past and present of plastic empty plastic empty place The second week of September 5, JP listing. Other editions grab the market, it may be quicker ... http://www.at700.com/thread-20645-1-1.html
Do you think it's a replacement for the NS9900 only or both Z-Slash and NS9900? Because I don't see any way to improve the Z-Slash to become something new/breaktrough. It has been 3 years since the release of the Z-Slash and Yonex seems to be happy with it (no improvement whatsoever). Anyway, I'm curious whether the current NS9900 owners would happily switch to the NRZS.
bad translation what the original writer meant was that people formerly using AT900T and NS9900 will like this racquet
Any new updates? Is there leaked images a player using the racket in their preparation (training) for the World Championship?
Interesting. I hope it ends up with the NS9900 stiffness, repulsion and head size but the Z-Slash balance, speed, power and feel. Probably asking too much here! lol
I need a word with you... Z-Slash balance on a Nanoray?!? Heresy!!! X-stiff, super head-light... or there'll be hell to pay.
Well sort-of. The balances of the old Nanospeeds varied a bit and so too does the ArcSabers. The ZS was one of the most headheavy "even balance" of the ArcSabers, so just hoping for a NR that has a balance that's a little more head heavy than the current NRs. Closer to an Arc ZS would be my preferrence... probably not going to happen though... I always felt the NS9900 was a tad too headlight for me, probably because I have a 3U, 2U probably would be better.
The name "Z-Speed" suggests (to me, at least) that it's going to be a NS9900 replacement. Fingers crossed - mine, if not yours.
You never fail to amaze me with your preferences... 30lb+ tension on a super stiff racquet that weights next to nothing to be used with plastic shuttles! Having said that, your string reviews are usually spot on, so I best not knock it until I've tried it. lol
[video=youtube;I7wpWH4YBf4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=I7wpWH4YBf4[/video] Challenge for Yonex..
LOL i was about to share it and you did already. BTW, here's the website http://www.yonex.co.jp/smash/
Black-and-white... sneaky sods! Still, nice to finally have a date (and I'm prepared to be real money now that we'll see some at the WC - Koo and Tan, most like).
Good if not exactly great video. Interesting to see who is taking part in this ''smash'' contest. TBH (obvious since he got the last guiness record with the Z slash although he never used the racket in a tournament), LCW and Kenichi Tago. (I can think of a few other Yonex sponsored players that could hit faster) Also the official website http://www.yonex.co.jp/smash/ The highest number on the banner around the video is 510km/ph if thats anything to go by
Can't really make out much of the graphics, but I can see that it has the Z string pattern. Thank you, badminton gods!
They must be using that broken/uncalibrated machine to track the speed again. Cause it is never reproducible!
