    That's what I remember as well. Green VTFB for Higashino and a DZS for Watanabe.

    Yes she's using Green Voltric FB. Hats off to her as it only comes in 5u and F.
    Real fast and agile at front court.

    Wouldn't be too sure of the 5u status with her 320kmph jump smash.

    Hasn't the Green VTFB already been exposed twice in the pro scene for not being the real thing.

    Don't entertain him! I already mentioned couple of pages back!

    She was on NR750 new color during last year Sudirman, and then a green VTFB in this year AE.

    You just cannot cope with the fact that it doesn't need a magical racket but brilliant technique and physique to hit bombs like that, can you?

    She plays well but I'm skeptical about it being a VT FB. Maybe it is, but YY don't have a good track record with the FB rackets in professional play.

    Hey I have a friend with a votric fb 6u and he can hit harder than my friend with a arc 10 both in athletic form. It's the technique/timing/and alot of practice. Stop buying new rackets because you think it'll improve your game. It should be marginal .02% improvement from new tech/rackets.

    Looks like it, guess he just prefers a stiffer racket. Makes sense as he liked the n80 and VT80ET. Wonder if he's using 3U or 4U now.

    I would say 3U. The 4U VT80ETN still isn't the easiest thing to swing.

    Yeah. But the swing on that isn't that smooth as the 88S in 3U still.

    Let’s say it makes you feel better and makes you think you hit 20% harder psychologically. I think the new racket is worth the money!
    No offense, just my view on it.

    I just don’t like being lied to and the amount of times they’ve done it with FB just makes it less so for me to trust it now. It doesn’t take a magical racket to hit bombs (I know because I see it live in front of my eyes everyday) but that doesn’t mean all the repaints are suddenly not repaints.

    Not a clue to be honest. They did a lot of repaints with the Arc FB though.

    I've used a Voltric Fb 5u before and indeed its a light head heavy racket . For front court doubles Play is very good. Occasionally back court smash is also threatening but cannot continue Hard Smash , arm will break .Higa is definitely showing her class with this racket at the front court which won her the AE. i strongly believed she use Voltric FB.
