    Nanorays and Arcsabers are head light and even balanced in general.

    For Mizuno rackets, we do not have the models categorised yet, so based on Specs,

    JPX 8.0 , stiff 290mm 4U ( Aero Hex frame )
    Speedflex 7.3 , flex 290mm 4U ( Tapered shaft )
    Tachyon 9.5, stiff 290mm 4U ( Anti twist frame )
    Altrax 81, med, 295mm 4U ( Swirl geometry )
    Dynamite 59, flex, 290mm 5U ( lightweight )
    Carbonic 75, flex 285mm 4U ( 35lbs max tension)

    The numbers may be similar, but they do have different technologies behind each model.
    As for UK, please send me a PM and i see what i can do for you.

    Thanks !

    hi Stas,

    For the VF Tour, they're super head heavy plus 53 sq inches frame. They will not be easy to use unless you can consistently hit the sweet spot. The same goes for the VA Tour, 53 sq inches frame, but they are only slightly head heavy.

    If you play singles, VF Tour is the one that kills your opponent.

    So you would think the VF Tour 4u would play similar to a 4u Voltric 80, but with the compact head. That sounds right up my ally. I may need to go see Nguyen Tien Minh's shop to check them out. Midomax in vietnam also, correct?

    Yep, or you can use the VZF2 as a more direct comparison as it has a smaller frame size also.

    In fact, the VF Tour have a smaller frame than the VZF2, a even harder beast to tame.

    yep, Tien Minh shop should have them, spot on for Midomax too.

    The pictures do no justice to the actual rackets.
    Go have a swing with them at the stores.

    I'm not so sure about Malaysia stores as they are managed by the Malaysian Distributor.

    Try contacting them !



    I cannot accurately compare the rackets between other brands as each brands have their own technology behind the racket.

    But in general, the REG ( Okuhara edition ) is a 4U all rounder racket with a slightly heavy head, supported by a flexible shaft. It is not too difficult to use, and has attacking prowess to it.

    The normal caliber REG comes in 3U.

    Thanks for responding. So it's rather flexible than stiff. So if 1 would be flexible and 5 stiff, you'd rate it with a 2?
