I plan on getting it sometime this year. I've adapted to my VT80 and I believe I will adapt to the VT-ZF as well. Since I mainly play singles now...I'm hoping it's the racket I'm looking. The power of the VT80 and accuracy (and maybe quickness) of the MX80. Best of both worlds. If it's too heavy or stiff for some people......solution = work out more.
That's very kind of you but I can wait. I would feel horrible if I caused a paint chip on your brand new racket. I am going to get it...just a matter of getting the right specs (86-87g 3UG5) and if I like the original color scheme or the rumoured purple LTD version. I'm in no rush.
you're a marketing department's wet dream. instead of picking a racket that suits your style, you change your style to adapt to the latest racket.
I used to play with a racket that was flexible and head light a couple of years ago. Should I have kept using those specs?? My preference have change to stiff and head heavy rackets. I would not have known unless I took a chance and tried a stiff head heavy racket. And right now...I'm looking for something better than the VT80. I guess you don't upgrade your computer at all since you like to stick to specs you had 2-3 years ago .

You guessed right, I suppose that makes me a marketing department's nightmare. As for rackets, I'm still using the AT700, even after testing the VT80, which felt like a sluggish AT700. Good luck on your upgrade. Hope it's exactly what you think it might be.
chilli wrote, Unstrung(3UG3) balance point is 305mm weight 87 gm not sure if that includes the plastic wrap on the handle. If it does, then dry balance point would be 315+
does a single plastic wrap on the grip hold that much?? if it does,maybe someone could help me showing the result of weighing a single plastic wrap?? i'm just curious, because i can't even imagining a single plastic wrap could do that much to distorting a racket dry weight nor balance point. thx in advance
Dry balance point would mean after the complete removal of the stock grip the grip tape from the handle (so bare wood). The plastic wrap itself weighs about less than 0.5 grams so it should not change the balance point by that much.
well my double wrap plastic on my victor mx60 weights around 2.4g. so I am assuming yy plastic must weight at least 1g and from previous experiment. 1g extra in overgrip change the bp by around 5-7mm for rackets in the 3u range. the reason why I am assuming it might include the plastic wrap because quite a number of people on this forum don;t remove the plastic wrap. ANd as you can see from his photos, the rackets still have their plastic wraps. dry weight should include stock grip weight but no plastic wrap. I think thats how manufacturer weigh it to determine if the racket is 3u or 4u
oh my, 1,2gr each? never thought about weighing my plastic wrap. threw it straight away after buying new racket. thinking to have a digital scale before buying the vtzf
just that some people keep their plastic wrap on and then put their overgrip over the plastic wrap. guess you are like me. we both remove the plastic wrap.
don't worry, removing the plastic wrap is the normal thing to do... now those people who keep the plastic wrap on probably also still has plastic wrap on their lamp shades, sofas, TV remote controls, etc.
