Badminton Racket YONEX VT70etn Reviews
Thanks for the loan from a friend, but the two slaps in the face made me realize the fact that I am too much of an amateur to play the game.
Neither professionally trained nor experienced enough to add to the mix, and even more so, I got the hang of it rather late without much potential. Although I often write in the equipment area, but I just use it a lot. When I come across a racket that I can’t use, I have to look at the status and try my luck to unlock it, which is not something I’m comfortable with.
Kicked the can down the road again.
Parameters: 3UG5, de-bottomed double-layer hand rubber with a full set of string accessories, total weight in use condition 99.2g, balance point 300mm, center bar length 210mm, tuned extremely hard, boxed racket frame, 8-4 point string slot 76 holes string bed, pulling string 27-28lbs bg66f.
Since the racket has been out for a while, you can see the level of exterior design of the last decade on the racket.The VT series is a rare racket with white primer paint, and the only high-end ones that I can remember are the White Linden and it.The water markers and stickers are not really delicate, and there are not many details, except for the iconic Mighty Triangle system that comes on the tech. There’s very little that can be said in detail. However, I think the highlight of this racket is the ETN, whose performance can be changed with different accessories through the line holes, a bit of AR15 modular design, and of course the only thing that can be changed is the line guard. However, how to create 7 different performance styles with 4 points of cable guards? It can’t be asymmetrical assembly ……
Wow, that’s a bit of a nightmare feeling in the hand. At nearly 100g with a 300mm balance point, I haven’t hit a racket like this before, and the VT70 feels horrible in the hand with all the ETN accessories. It’s not that I haven’t hit rackets over 100g before, but basically it’s all due to retaining the heat-shrink film on the backing, especially the old Color Chopper Ghost Blade and the 01feel, which weren’t head-heavy offensive rackets in the first place. This time to face is vt series, weighted all in the frame, very challenging.
I swallowed my saliva, fixed my mind, and came straight to it. The airswing clearly has a feeling of a long unloading process, which simply means that you can’t brake. For partners who have not had formal training and have unnatural unloading movements in their lead swings, use with caution.
The vt70 feels really good warming up to pulls if you slow down the tempo a bit. The racket was originally 28 pounds of 66F, after a little time to drop some pounds but still hard, however, even if the line bed is stiffer for the active force requirements, in the oversized swing inertia out of the feeling of the ball is not too much effort, at the same time, out of the ball has the strength. The feel is quite silly, simple, brutal and effective, and with plenty of time to react you can pull the ball as high and as far as you like.
The feedback of the vt70e, on the other hand, is still a bit too direct for me, I can’t tell if it’s because it’s hard or because it’s wood, but the feel of the ball is like walking barefoot on a gravel road, not only is the vibration noticeable, but it’s also a bit harsh.
Again, I’m an amateur. It is natural to test the VT series for its heavy killing ability, however, after trying it out for 4 or 5 games, there are very few outings that I can kill at full power enough to nail the floor. In doubles, the VT70E’s ability to attack at full power in full match conditions is quite demanding, not to mention the fact that the heavier racket requires a more reasonable pace in order to walk quickly to the point of impact and prepare to grab the high point, and even if you are standing still and being fed the high point, you still need to drive the VT70E with a lot of power and concentration. Not because the quality of the ball is not high, but because it is difficult to explore its full potential, and every time I hit the downward pressure, I have a feeling of regret that I could have killed the ball more heavily. In my opinion, the VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ is more difficult to handle than the previous VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ that I have handled.
But the racket is really good at resisting twisting, the directionality is definitely good enough, and the feel of the net and backcourt control is very good. Therefore, when the opponent is a little bit lower and my physical ability is declining, I will use this racket on the court abnormally. The low hand position in front of the net is especially stable, at the same time, due to the line bed area is bigger, in this point has a higher tolerance than VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ, or make the ball to the teammate kill will be more reliable.
As for the flat draw block …… soft block, the rapid confrontation in the middle of the forecourt to strive for a soft block to destroy the rhythm of it, if the head iron with the other side of the dead, often further into the low hand position, backhand position, head positioning hit passive situation, and this passive, with the VT70e I will be doubly unable to deal with it.
I gave the VT70e plenty of patience, and after spending a longer period of time with it compared to other rackets, I was getting the hang of it. Toward the end of the trial phase, I was able to grab more of the high spots to fire down the line, and the drive became clearer and clearer, and it would seem to me that this burner was just as serious as it was not scary. At times, it even managed to hit a few sharp point kills. To say whether the vt70e is good or not, I think its accessories do provide an idea to give the racket performance customization, which is an innovation of sorts, and it’s also true that it’s a racket with a fairly high ceiling, but, it’s not approachable, or rather, it’s too much of a novice for me. Unappealing, really unappealing, and despite the pleasure of conquest that comes from challenging it, trying it out turned me away.
Don’t use it for newcomers, use it with caution for amateurs, and forget about it if you have a bad habit of squeezing your wrist, hitting the ball without lifting your elbow, suffering from tennis elbow or golf elbow, swinging your big arm or weak limb strength.
Friend: “I still have a handful of full match vt80, do you want to not pull the line to try?”
I’m quite cute ……
