Can someone please tell me firstly how dzs 3U performs for doubles and secondly how it is compared to Arc11, VTZF2 4U and JS10?
On the assumption that you have good technique and a reasonably strong arm then I would say DZS is a great doubles racquet. The drives are sharp and smashes are pretty powerful due to the stiff shaft and slight head heaviness. I personally found it to be not as head heavy as the chart shows so if you want something with more power from the back court then the ZF2 4U could suit better. Can't comment on arc11 or js10.
Funny you say that since we both run a higher tension than him at least on the mains lol. His mains are ”just” 32. Dear diary, Today I’ll part ways with my 2u Duora Z Strike and it’ll find it’s new home with fellow BC’er shreyas666. In short I loved it but how hard to find they are as an SP coded racket makes it a very hard racket to realistically own. Originally my plan was to experience and own everything that landed in my preferred spec area and then after finding the most suitable racket, get a few of those. But that’s exactly what I can’t do with this normally. All it would take is one bad hit to the frame and I’d be left stranded and would have to get used to something very different all over again. So with that bit over, my new ZF2 3u will be here on Sunday and I’ll be shifting to it for a long while.
Now I own a zstrike 2u. initial impression-- awfully stiff. hard to generate power. no problem in timing(previously zf2)
And for some unknown reason , stores around me in Mumbao have stopped storing the 3u z strike ( we never got 2u in India ) , saying that racket had design flaw. Should I order some backups from HK? Decision, decision !!!
It's available on sportsuncle for 10.5k I think. That's the site I use for practically everything now including the ns30 packets I've been using and falling in love with everyday. Still, i'd rather go for something else. The newly launched N90 iv in India looks juicy for example.
N90 IV does look good but has had horrid reviews from people who prefer head heavy . I think someone from this forum sold his very soon after trying out so have been sceptical. I had my eyes on N99 too but read somewhere it is little fragile . And E78 has very good price for z strike now - 799 HKD for SP Z strike .
design flaw? no! 2u goes nicely in doubles. haven't had any problems upto now. swing adjusted, power delivery next!
Yeh, precisely my point. Market in our country is so back in terms of variety and has very less knowledgeable people helping. They are mocking z strike now just to sell other rackets they have. If u don't have, just say we don't stock it anymore. Stores here in Mumbai have been trying to sell Astrox really hard. I believe z strike has best combination possible , provided you can tame it.
astrox is easy on play. zstrike on other hand requires actual clean hitting. second most hardest racket to play with.
