    Great another meaningless (or outright misleading) marketing video from Yonex. I'm a loooong time Yonex customer but I am losing patience with their idiot marketing. I don't care what the speed of the shuttle 5 nanoseconds off my Racquet is, I care about what the velocity of my smash is when my opponent sees it. I also don't care, if the only thing the racquet can do well is smash.

    Also, Z-speed is a stupid name. It's really past time some heads rolled in the marketing dept.

    News to me. I thought that once the bullet leaves the barrel it is no longer being acted on by any thrusts from expanding gases (or anything else for that matter) and becomes subject to the forces of air resistance and gravity. Just like a shuttle that has lost contact with the strings.

    Ok, enough of the talking. Time for some picture.;)
    Looks like koo and tan will use this racket for the WC.
    And it also looked like KKK is not quite satisfy with his performance with this racket:D

    Ya, especially the reddish orange racket frame. I wonder if tago and CW will be using it or not?

    Not sure about Tago. He will not be in Guangzhou for the WC though. As for LCW, he's still sticking with his z force.

    This is already an improvement. :p

    Also looks like his hairstyle is back to conservative... probably an order from his coaches... as his usually flamboyant cuts mean a flamboyant play style that'll cause him to lose. :p

    Any news on specs?

    When they said "orange"... I didn't think they meant so orange!

    The MXJJS is prettier for sure.

    I'd take that player at the other end of that racket any time! Way before that other guy who has a tiny beer belly (how cute!) :p

    Why do I have a feeling that the Nanoray Z-Speed is like Ti-10, except it is equipped with new technology? If so, I would start saving some money!! :p

    Tell you what - if the ZS isa Ti-10 update, I'll be one happy camper!

    We can't really infer anything from Koo and Tan's using it, though... yes, they've both used Ti-10s and NS9900s, but they've also both used Voltric ZFs... they can't seem to make their minds up!

    Whatever new rackets Yonex throws at them, they are more than willing to test and experiment them:D

    "Test this."
    "Really? It's the exact opposite of what I'm used to..."
    *$$$
    "OK, then."
