You should not choose a racket because a player uses it. Yonex is good with promotion, the make all the players use their new rackets. Viktor Alexsen started using astrox 88s. Z force is still the best yonex racket out there right now if you can handle it.
smashes were totally of different kind in zf2, instant winner. i used it for sheer power which not even vt80e can provide me. most powerful racket owned. and it was 4u
Shreyas , I also want to purchase z force II 4U as I play mostly doubles . Is it good for fast doubles game with flat drives and drops apart from heavy smashes. Your suggestion would be helpful as i am comfortable with stiff rackets. Others comments would also be helpful
I have had very pleasant experience with zf2 4u .I miss the power I used to have with it in doubles. It is surpirisurpr quick. I am on 8xp these days, it is stiff medium balance and kind of quick. Ofocurse, it is powerful and punchy. But not zf2 4u kind. I have not tried astrox 99 and 88d.
