Hey guys, I have a brother who recently and previously used the Yonex Voltric Z Force 2, but he broke both of them . As you know the Z Force 2 has been discontinued for a while & difficult to get ahold of. He told me that if he got a new racket, he wants it to be lighter than the ZF2. I assume a bit less head-heavy, yet still head-heavy is what he means. As for the specs he used before he broke it, it was a 4UG5 ZF2 strung w/ Exbolt 63. Any brand or recommendations, please? I would appreciate it. Please recommend rackets that are similar to the racket itself & info is given.
we might have the same taste... i also like head-heavy stiff rackets and use thin strings 63, or 61 even. 1. 100ZZ, of course, the ultimate head-heavy stiff racket at the moment 2. Ryuga 2, different head shape (larger sweetspot). i use this racket if i'm getting tired 3. 90 Dragon, this is the closest feel to 100ZZ for me in other brands the legendary VZF2 hitting feel when you got the right timing and sweetspot placement is hard to replace, it was my go-to racket. but 100ZZ is something else (in a good way) and more suited to faster play nowadays.
Astrox 10DG? Says here it is a great .replacement of Zforce 2: https://badminton-racket-review.com/en-sg/products/yonex-astrox-10dg-4u-badminton-racket
Astrox 99 pro or Ryuga 1. 100ZZ is nowhere near ZF2. Stiffer and significantly less head heavy than ZF2.
