This, the last member of the VT series under the regular compilation, is a very typical head-heavy attack racket. Perhaps the previous VT70etn gave me a good shot, perhaps it was the appropriate timing to reduce the pulling pounds, or perhaps the performance of the racket itself is tuned, this trial is smoother than I thought.
As the former racket of many good players, VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Z-FORCE is naturally equipped with the top technology of VOLTRIC Z-FORCE at that time, and should be in the same level as VOLTRIC Z-FORCE II.
Parameters: 3UG5, two-handed rubber, total weight 95.8g, balance point 305mm, ultra-fine center shaft, 210mm long, tuned hard, box frame, 9-3 point string slot, 76-hole string bed, pull string 24-26lb bg80, full accessories.
The dark red color of the VT80E gave me a lot of good vibes, it’s not a flashy racket, but this dark hardness matches how I feel about the VT series. The trial racket has been around for some years now, and the quality of the paint on the racket can’t be described as good, there are numerous places where the paint chipped off and the stickers fell off. Racket frame of 2, 5, 7, 10 o’clock direction wherever the accessories can be mounted have a large staggered pattern design, in the form of stickers rather than water marking, so when you look closely you can see that the area where the pattern is located will be raised, resulting in a sense of cheapness. The vt80 is said to be a test piece for yy’s development of an ultra-fine center bar.
This color scheme always reminds me of Ferrari. Leclerc took the pole in Monaco this time, I wonder if “I am stupid” will play again (bad joke).
Ignoring the heavy feel of the racket, the pleasure it gave me down the court was quite adequate, keyword: audio filter. With the same conditions as previously with VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ, I pulled the 80 line for him, in the power stroke after the burst of metal reverberation is worth savoring, unknowingly thought that I went up to 28 pounds, the larger sound effect has a kind of cheating feeling, at least it can be bluffed most of the amateur players, to enhance their own confidence.
Of course, this pleasant feeling still can not hide the fact that the racket vt80e need more power support. The head is heavy, 10mm longer center stick, making the racket’s borrowed feeling is actually quite good, in the upper hand when pulling the high long ball is quite cozy, it will appear to be hardness of this center stick drive is not too difficult, out of the ball with a lot of energy. However, when you try to hit the ball flat and high, your body will be loaded. The high balance point of the swing weight highlights, a little bit like playing hammer, and the power swing can be felt in the center stick tugging the frame forward, with a little bit of whiplash at the moment of hitting the ball.
Using this kind of racket requires a lot of strength in one’s core. It is not difficult to find out that if the stabilizing power of the torso is not enough when striking the ball, the posture of the body will be easily distorted during the swinging process, resulting in deformation of the movement and deviation of the landing point, or even injury. Of course, the racket itself is very torsion-resistant, under the premise of being able to stabilize one’s body, swing arm and fixed lock wrist, wherever you want to hit, but this is in fact a direct challenge to the user’s high requirements.
I only play doubles, VT80e in the full state of the center front court, from the start of the hair receiving how to use how uncomfortable. The scrambling in the first three boards is constrained by the excessive head weight, and it is really difficult to gain an advantage. Such as the backhand surprise open backcourt this way, in the VT80e is too difficult, not to mention the quality of the ball, so also can only be iron hearted to serve a small ball or not as good as directly under the hand position to the lack of offensive ability of the opponent to serve a backcourt high ball. If the opponent sends a small ball, it can also be more adequate preparation time to play its solid hand advantage of push and put the combination of or grab rub for teammates to fight for offensive opportunities, but in any case should be positioned in the middle, otherwise encountered by the other side to steal the backcourt of the situation, hasty hitting the VT80e performance is difficult to satisfy people. For the treatment of the third beat, when the opponent grabbed more fierce, it is better to directly pick high to show weakness, into the rhythm of the more compact flat pump block will be physiologically very difficult.
Sometimes communicate with teammates, receive hair push backcourt sideline to fight for the other side of the ball to catch their own straight line, even if you can catch, the swing will always be half a beat slower, there are swinging empty situation occurs, once the failure, the advantage of the loss of points and also cause their own mentality fluctuations, the other side is also more prepared, the impact is bad. Encountered the other side will play, see the right to play with you on both sides of the flat pumping fast block, even if the teammates want to give you to do the ball is also unable to return. This is really a pure singles racket, and in fast-paced doubles the vt80e’s disadvantage in speed overshadows any other aspect of its performance.
If you take it to the singles court, I believe this is also a racket better suited for net control and power shots. the VT80E has a strong power triangle presence, the hold feel is quite pronounced, and with the addition of the rough with the 80 strings it is very pleasant to manipulate some small balls at the net, with a big and good string bed. At the same time, this ball-holding feel lowers the power threshold of the VT80e, making this racket more manageable, at least compared to the previous high poundage vt70e.
I think it’s very cathartic to blast hard with the VT80e when the power is there. The whole killing process contains a high concentration of violence based on the racket’s strong head weight, which is smashing, powerful, loud, and satisfying. The center stick is still thin in today’s eyes, making the whiplash feeling quite obvious on this head-heavy racket, with an easily perceived explosive power. Young people have a lot of energy, and finding a partner to feed the ball to them for killing practice is conducive to the development of their power technique and negative energy release without hurting their bodies by brute force.
Well, cool, other than not being suitable for me personally to take on the court for doubles matchups, the overall texture is pretty much complete and more aesthetically pleasing to me than the previous VT70E. As with the VT70E, use with caution for golfers with less physical ability or irregular batting stance.
Monaco is all kicking off as I write this, so maybe the Lok Button will finally finish this time?
