    good choice. and ya, sometimes, just don't want wait anymore :D
    you may also consider the yellow ax77, some said it's slightly more stiff and 2g more weight than the blue. If just by look, i prefer blue though, beautiful.

    purple blue zF2 has already been out for 1-2 months. It's a China Exclusive Version. There is also a rerun of ARC 10 in White

    Just about to order a LDF to replace my VT80, now I’m wondering if I should look at the Astrox line?

    I am worried that the ZF2 will bee too stiff and heavy for me to handle. That said I would ideally have a play with a 4U ZF2 as well as a LDF.

    Shame in UK it’s not really possible, maybe I should order both!

    If u r using VT80, a ZF2 should be manageable for u. Unless u want a quicker racket

    My guess is that you can get your hands on it at Yonex German Open. They start at 6th of March. If I see it on the 6th of March at the YGO first, I will drop you a PM.

    We've found the spiritual successor to the AT800DEF. Definitely on my list now.
