    So... 39 years,stringing 12,6 kg 28lbs, 190cm skinny. 2x a week playing for long time,I got solid techique on all shots.
    Ldf is nice but easier to play zf2. I guess I'm not up to 3u head heavy so if I need to defend a lot or flick I got problem being slow.
    Zf2 is better,firepower is there but again maaaybe I need some help regarding stiffness especialy when tired. I think I dont have much problem with smaller head. Legs are fine but age is catching up regarding hand strength.
    Arc11 is soo cool soo fast and still 3u can produce some damage powerwise but also if I play against player who tries to push me back and having head heavy racket he will be in advantage. I would like more head heavines.
    Soo..willI sell ldf 3u.
    Guess my options are ldf 4u,haard to find in europe. Maybe astrox 77 3u,but that one pricey..etune I dont want. Apacs z ziggler lee hyun il has ok price and is 3u,compact head,slightly more hh than arc11 but more flexible Im eyeing that one seriously.
    What do you guys think, do you have any suggestions about my needs..

    Tnx a lot

    Faster than ZF2, similarly powerful and slightly less stiffer? Screams TK9900 to me tbh. I have an addiction for mine so I can never hesitate to suggest it.

    DUO10 is head heavier and a little bit stiffer than ARC11, if you generally enjoy the ARC11 but want in those characteristics.

    Second the TK9900 mkIII 3U.

    It's Victor's version of the ZF2. Slightly lighter, slightly less stiff, equally solid and equally compact.

    It also looks good :D

    thank you for comments..
    tk9900 3u...hmmm .... more user friendly zf2 but I got feeling 4u zf2 = 3u tk990.plus it's a costly racket.
    Duora 10..I...I got feeling is very much like arc11...and price premium..
    Maybe then could try astrox, apacs lhi I don't know now, read frame is not stable etc.
    Darn I was hopping there it's something priced arround 100 gpb.

    Your feeling about 4U ZF2 is misplaced. TK9900 3U plays between a LDF 3U and ZF2 3U, and is closer to ZF2 3U.

    Do you think 4U ZF2 plays heavier than a 3U LDF? If so, I think you have a very heavy ZF2 or a very light LDF.

    No. It's in a different dimension to a 4u ZF2.

    I thiiink my feeling is fine.I want more user friendly zf2 4u. Zf2 3u tried and sold. Ldf 3u is harder to play than zf2 4u , much slower. Probably ldf 4u will suit me. Or tk9900 4u which does not exist.

    Sounds like you should try a 4U LDF if you don't want a compact frame, or a TK9900 4U if you want a compact frame (which does exist...dunno why you think it doesn't?)
