    It appears yonex has a very weird design team... first when we see previews of the racket most of BC'ers are like "ugh terrible" and "someone should replace the graphics team", but after seeing... better quality pictures (ones which don't portray the racket head as pink necessarily), it just keeps growing on us. Deliberate? I think NOT.

    So september 13th in Japan then? I did a quick google search and the recommended market price is 27300JPY, but the store in question which popped up will be selling it for 19110JPY.

    It must be since it's a Nanoray, right? I never would've thought that a headlight racket would be able to produce the fastest smash tho...

    I see it comes in 2U and 3U. He must have used the 2U to produce that smash speed. Increased overall weight would compensate for the headlight spec. I'd actually like to see what speeds TBH can get with a 2U Ti-10 - it'd probably be even faster. But at the end of the day, will it make him win more games?

    Yeah, but the ArcZ came in 2U as well didn't it? I guess the new tech must've won over the weight balalance.

    You just know that in-person that racket will look fantastic. To be honest, from the perspective as a design professional, Yonex is doing a phenomenal job at the moment.

    I'd hazard a guess that it's an even balanced Z-Force with a few new tidbits of technology, and slightly more 'widebody' cross-section everywhere except the 3 and 9 o'clock narrower portions of the head.

    So the record is for the swing speed instead of the shuttle speed huh? Then FHF will be re hardest smasher here.
