ZF 2 LCW - part 2.
Restrung with same string and tension as original ZF (Toalson Nanopremium 66 @ 27 lbs.)
Should have dropped 2 lbs to compensate for the smaller head like others on here have already
posted, but I forgot. Now it was much easier to pinpoint differences between the two, the major
one being the livelier and lighter touch, a more immediate feel. Couple that to the faster and more
agile handling and it easily leaves the original as second choice left in the bag. So I didn't do as much
swapping over as I'd planned - the ZF 2 was just so superior.
Regrets ? Well , the dramatic rifle shot sound has changed to a more of a 'crack' - with plastics anyway -
and that incredible solid punch when you hit hard and catch the sweet spot is missing too, but I'll happily
make that trade for the improvements found overall.
Come to think of it, the ZF 2 doesn't seem to have a sweet spot sound at all, it is surprisingly tolerant to
off centre hits which is the last thing you'd expect from a smaller head.
For me, the best thing about the new racquet is the confidence it has given to my game in terms of defence
(shot retrieval from smashes ) , blocks and interceptions , and shot placement . And for the first time ever I'm
now looking for opportunities to smash simply because it's fun.
Both ZFs are now up for sale.....
