    I know, I know. Everywhere I read, except for the colour, the Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 is the exact same as the Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 Lee Chong Wei edition. But what explains the difference in price?

    I'll happily play with a pink VTZF2 LCW for a $50CAD discount!

    Before I buy, any reason not to buy this racket? (I love smashing birdies)

    3u vs 4u is the reason for the discrepancy in price.

    .... The LCW is stiffer and head heavier than the rest of the colour variations thats all.

    Colours all play the same.

    It's cheaper because it's discontinued/an old unused colourway now that LCW is sporting the duora.

    So I bought it! Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 LCW
    http://racquetguys.com/category/byVoltric/Voltric-Series
    Sorry I didn't post the link sooner, wanted to make sure I bought one before all you guys cleaned them out! haha
    Ooo baby, this thing is sweeeeeeet
    I had a decent smash before, now it is a deadly WEAPON lol
    Highly recommended (after my single session with it). However, for smaller/weaker guys, I can understand why some complain about wrist/elbow/arm issues, it is a head heavy racket - keep that in mind.
    I actually really like the colouring now too, looks better in person, very unique.

    It was a bit cheaper in many places in several stores. The ZF II racket specs aren't designed for girls in mind, and pink is seen socially as a girly color, so I'm not surprised it's the cheapest.

    Before SJW's start getting triggered, I can tell you right now I don't care.

    Funny story, my pops took like 10 swings with it and fell in love. I might be going back to get him one too!

    Good guys, seem to enjoy their work, and did a good job stringing the racket.
