    Both looks fake to me. The black definitely is a fake, frame size is too big. The LCW one the YY logo is off centred at the T join. Mind to share a photo of the cone code to confirm?
    I attached both my genuine FZ2 for reference.

    Agree this is a very good racquet. Just got my own (Original colour). 3UG4.

    It will take me a while to adjust to it though; switching from ARC-ZS.

    man observe the frame clearly only the carbon nano tubes can be seen and the gromets cant be seen.this means that it will have lower air resistence thus a more powerful smash

    The black one is fake because the string pattern is wrong - real ZF-II has four pairs of single grommets at the top, not three.

    Looks like the black and LCW version both has 4 pairs of single grommet for me

    Well the most obvious giveaway that its fake (The VTZF II Black on the left) is in the stringing pattern based on the grommet holes.

    Notice that when you look at grommet holes A7, A9, A11.....(top grommet holes 7, 9 and 11 from the centre point)........ they should have HORIZONTAL/CROSS strings on them as per the legit VTZF II and not VERTICAL/MAIN strings

    Hi, any of you ever used Voltric LD Force ?

    Based on this review it's really interest me so well.

    http://badminton-coach.co.uk/8077/yonex-voltric-lin-dan-force-badminton-racket-review/

    I have ZF2 3UG5 LCW and ZF2 4UG4 LD.
    Damn the most i hate use is ZF2 3UG5, for me asian and small posture people love to use small grip but i never thought the 3gr difference will give a huge result. With the wrong choice of strings i really can't handle the fatigue and the head heavy.

    So, i'm really looking and searching for any light heavy like duora or nanoray.
    But, i don't want to be deceived again. lol...I'm done with Voltric and try to Nanoray Z Speed but many comments from Badminton Central told me to stay away from that racket if you're not pro enough to use it. Especially the Yellow one. Lol...
    Since, i'm a double specialist, the fast drive and exchange is really the key point.

    I'm aware many of my defense sense are late response using the ZF2 LCW 3UG5.
    Has any of you have recommend alternative for high end racket but using for all round player.

    You cannot go wrong with AS11 imo. It is used both in singles and doubles by professionals and it is pretty easy to use compared to other high ends such as zf2.

    Looks very targeted at China and India, the color schemes.

    Yonex's financial report seems to agree as well. They will attack India this 2017.

    On second look this looks like ZF2LCW had an intense night in the bedroom with a LDF....

    ZF2LCWLD? HAH.

    Well guys, this is a thing, reality already.

    [​IMG]


    What I can decipher is this: Color code 560 Premium Gold (ala ARC10PRE in 2012),

    VTZF2 "TB" edition, whatever this means will tell what range/collection/special edition this is for,

    and YX means this is designated as a TW coded or IP coded (in which case some retailers claim this is for sponsored players, Yonex themselves just put IP on the cone and throws them around but the lack of SP/CH on the shaft make some retailers charge a premium on the item, and those that buy into the myth, pony up the cash. But that's another thing for another day.)



    Enjoy. @Junye , badmintonCN didn't put this picture up?
