Badminton Racket Yonex VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ Reviews

Jayce October 18, 2024 6 0

A while ago I picked up a VTZF2, I can’t remember how many I’ve had.

Every time I played it for a few months, I would take it off and look for a new racket, but this time I played it very seriously for a while, maybe it resonates with me today!

VTZF2 (4U 310mm, 28lbs BG80) takes time to get used to, even if the AX99 and 90MAX Dragon are already very smooth, it takes more than two days to get used to it!

This time, I’ll try to analyse the VTZF2 from the point of view of playing feeling, this racket has been in the market for 10 years, is it outdated nowadays?

The appearance of VTZF2 back then accelerated the competition in the ultra-fine centre, forcing others to roll up on the diameter of the centre, and the EX-grade ultra-fine centre is not unheard of and in the forefront even today!

It drove Ghost Chopper and Axforce’s determination to stiffen up the island brands in the ultra-fine centre, and contributed to the main focus of competition in the top offensive racquets nowadays.

VZTF2 was just launched in 14 years, many people feedback that it is not as stiff as VTZF, not as stable as VT80, and the only thing people remember about it is its flexibility.

Back then, LCW and LD teachers were tied to VTZF2, and limited edition signature models were released in their respective new colours, which made it competitive.

Without the endorsement of the two top teachers, the final sales would have been better than VTZF.

In that era, VZTF2 was more like a “pathfinder”! It has a new naming system ZZ, a new frame structure and a new ultra-fine centre bar, etc. Several attempts have shown many industry peers a new direction for R&D.

Looking back at the 2014 VTZF2, it’s more of a racquet that was introduced to please the amateur market

It had the thinnest EX-grade centre in the entire green at the time in 2014, which gave it a bouncier, friendlier hitting feel

Compared to its predecessors, the VTZF and VT80, it had a faster swing speed, a more flexible centre, and a more manoeuvrable feel.

In those days, it was more like a proof that Green Factory was slowly lowering the lower limit of the racket.

It was a proof that Green Factory had lowered the lower limit of the racket slowly, so that a wider range of consumers could get the improved performance and shorter time to get the pleasure in a short period of time.

It may be that today, many people say that the VTZF2 is a wrist-breaker and a real man’s hammer of joy. But 10 years ago, there was a lot of feedback that it wasn’t hard enough or heavy enough. The two reviews were put together in a few years with a big gap, who was wrong?

I don’t think anyone is wrong, nowadays the market is more inclined to light, fast, high bouncy, easy to handle racquets with a bigger lower limit made

And 10 years ago, racquets were about who was stronger, faster and more powerful who could deliver better kills and results for the top players!

Everyone is right, it’s just that times have changed and the market has been educated to be different, it used to be about who had more depth and high end equipment. Now it’s more about getting the consumer happy faster. To please the mass market, now like to increase flexibility, reduce rigidity, increase product fault tolerance.

So the NF700 NF800 100zz is here, the pro is here, and they are becoming more appealing to the basic crowd.

They love the arms of all you golden daddies more, so that you can suffer less pain. This is not a downgrade in product or consumption, but rather a broadening of the consumer base, with a focus on the feelings of the sinking market, sales are more likely to go up!

Everyone is so busy, it is rare to find time to come out to play badminton, selling so expensive, but also let me spend a long time to adapt to it?

Now the discussion of wrist breakers, most of the people have just contacted the badminton racket, from the hands of 4u 5u sugar water entry level, suddenly rise to the top offensive level, it’s like you have just passed the subject of three, you want to open the Gundam, you think you are NT ah?

Playing VTZF2 again today, I feel it’s not lagging behind, it’s not too hard, it’s not too slow, and now I think it’s still good for a few more years.

When I hit the ball hard, the frame is very stable, the compression and deformation of both sides of the frame is not big, it has good stability, and even the thickness and solidity is not inferior to 88D and 99.

The instantaneous power transfer in wrist flash and finger power is not as direct and smooth as the feedback power of 99 and 88D.

However, after the whiplash deformation, the power and speed of the ball is beyond the AX99P and AX88DP, the same power has a more efficient power transfer.

Personally, I think the 99PRO is a bit behind the VTZF2, except for a bit better elasticity and a bit better stability of the ball in all directions.

VTZF2’s power pattern is wide open, as long as the point is found, the big arm back swing, can easily give you a better ball path.

The 99PRO is better because the sweet spot is bigger, the mid-range is softer and the frame is heavier, so it feels better to wrap the ball.

The 99PRO is much easier on the hands, the arm back swing is enough, even if you have a little difference, the larger sweet spot can also recover a lot of landing deviation.

A lot of people talk about the VTZF2’s small sweet spot, but I think it’s good enough for amateur doubles, not too small.

It’s just that the middle and lower part of the frame shrinks more significantly, and the upper sweet spot retains a medium amount of forgiveness.

Recently, VTZF2 and sharp shadow 800 mixed use, frequent replacement of the two experience, did not appear often hit the frame of the embarrassment, but took the 88S and VTZF2 on the mixed use, easy to hit the frame situation, mainly in the head frame area
Said it small sweet spot, should go to experience the CAB20 and Hayabusa, will let only feel quite deep!

The network’s remarks are just personal opinions, do not recommend that we all believe, it is recommended to look at the problem with suspicion, to seek evidence to get more equipment to the joy of blindly following the trend of life is tasteless!

VTZF2 now the offensive ability is still very top notch, still!

Whether it’s the efficiency of continuous attacks and heavy kills, I think the VTZF2 is completely beyond the 99pro a little bit, better than the 88s will be!

This is due to the EX class centre and the high aggregation sweet spot, this setup is still top notch even after 3 years of play.

It’s not as direct and crisp as the Dragon Teeth and 99, and it requires a long backswing to reserve more power, but it’s less of a vibration burden on the arms. The Dragon Teeth and 99 have the advantage of a higher performance ceiling, and the VTZF2 has a better deformation to generate elasticity.

I feel a little confused: VTZF2 a heavy hammer down that compression is not inferior to the 100ZZ, 100ZZ compared to the VTZF2 need a longer backswing to have more powerful compression, after all, the 100zz has a thinner centre pole. Maybe the ultra-thin centre bar will shed a certain amount of thickness and layering?

3U’s 100ZZ and VTZF2 I prefer high level players and singles oriented friends, the rhythm is not fast, but the elasticity is good burst high!

The VTZF2 has been on the market for 10 years and is still very competitive, and it is still a good choice to collect a VTZF2 today!

The VTZF2 has been on the market for 10 years, and there are very few things that the Green Factory has surpassed in terms of performance, and that’s only by a body length. I feel that in the past few years, Green Factory’s R&D has simply been touching fish and squeezing toothpaste, and what comes out is quite good, but it no longer has the feeling of making people’s eyes light up, and the idea of impulse spending is not there.

Green Factory surpasses VTZF2 in terms of word of mouth, I guess there won’t be any more in the future, so buy it and cherish it!

It is the end of a tough era, but also the beginning of the next era of pro-manipulation, it will leave a very important position in our memory, many people buy VTZF2 not for the excellent performance, but just to recall those years chasing badminton themselves!
