He has been using yellow F1's, not the 65FT ones . And I am also not convinced what he is using there is the NRZS. Kamilla Juhl on the other hand is definitely using it, but the one Tago is wielding has a seemingly larger frame, not as narrow at the bottom as it should be. On a sidenote: Zwiebler is using the new SHB-65X shoe
I've been using the 3U Nanoray 800 since November 2012, and like it alot, but wished for a bit more weight in the head and more punch from the back court. First time out with the Z-speed, after a 2hr training session last night, my wrist felt a bit sore. My first impression is it felt heavy (coming from somebody who is used to the lightness and quickness of the NR800). Clears: Felt great, racket feels more solid and less tinny than the NR800. Backhand: Felt good, although the feeling of additional weight gives me the impression my backhand shots were less snappy/whippy. Drop shot: Felt great, fast drops required minimal adjustment. Short drops feel easy with the feeling of additional weight, easier to present power and maintain a smooth stroke for a nice short drop. Smash: Felt a bit inconsistent at first, but once my timing was adjusted it felt very solid. IMO, it won't feel that great for those whose pronation technique is not adequate. Drives: Feels solid, not as fast as the NR800 obviously, felt as if I was pushing the shuttle harder. Felt less stiff than the NR800 so maybe the feeling of additional weight was somewhat masked by the shaft flexing? Netplay: Not much to say, didn't feel much difference there compared to other rackets. BP of my NR800 is 292 (with overgrip and 66ult) BP of my Z-SP is 302 (with overgrip and 66ult) This is just my first impression after the first night out using it. It definitely feels heavy compared to any Nanoray ###.
Comparing 3U Z-Slash and 3U Z-Speed, which one feel more head heavy when playing? Anyone can comment? Thanks.
People clearly aren't reading this thread, because there's about 3 already for sale in the sale section.
Yeah :0, in the quarter finals he wasn't doing so well with his first z speed are they different in strings and tension? :0
In term of head heavy feeling when playing, can I assume that: NRZSP 2U > VTZF 3U > ARCZS 2U > NRZSP 3U > VTZF 4U > ARCZS 3U ? Or my sequence are wrong?
I don't think NRZSpeed is a head heavy racket, it is much more balance as I can feel the weight is more concentrated in the T joint area rather than the head, but the racket feels solid thus making it kinda heavy. From my memory, the NRZSpeed feels a bit like Carbonex series. The big difference between NRZspeed and Carbonex is when you swing the racket, the NRZSpeed has less drag and better aerodynamic and you can swing it almost like ArcFB. I have tried VT80 and it is a really head heavy racket and NRZSpeed doesn't even close in head heaviness with VT80.
