    Yonex taking a leaf out of Spinal Tap's book.

    One of the few times "LOL" applies literally.

    You definitely have a deeper insider source than me for sure.

    Actually I was told by one of the Yonex Suppliers about keeping some secret until it will be fully unveiled by Yonex itself. However, most of the products were already leaked. :)

    Yes, Duora Series will be replacing Arcsaber's. Because Voltric = Power. Nanoray = Speed. Duora = Control. My opinion.

    Sorry, completely forgot about it. So I was searching my PC just now and couldn't find any pictures. Then I found out that I actually took a video of him practicing with it. So I'll upload that to my YT channel and link it as soon as it's available.

    EDIT: Here is the short clip - http://youtu.be/laaOICNS_eo

    LCW R.jpg

    Took a screenshot from your video, an I know the picture isn't the best, but they way the top of the frame looks, it reminds me of LD back in the day with a 1000 layers of athletic tap on the top. Looks like it could very well be a new racket, whether or not it LCW put athletic tape on it or not could be a sign that it is a less head heavy racket than the Z-Force II, which I know is true about almost all rackets anyway, but it is not something LCW does so it suggests it may be an even balanced racket.

    If anything somehow AeroSonic sounds better than Duora for a racquet series now, imo. :(

    No surprise. You can observe that the ZF2 LCW now selling very cheap. Mostly Yonex want to clear stock and launch new product.

    Isn't the TR an all white racket? The cone area shows it's black or is just me?
