    well 4U version might have a higher BP. my 3U arc11 has a wet bp of 290, the racket plays quite differently.
    top of the range shouldn't mean it must be an extreme, i'm glad yonex have finally realized that.

    Last night i was able to use both ZSP and ZF2.
    What can i say both of them are truly great rackets.
    However, in term of power, i would choose ZF2.. :)

    Yep I failed primary school, had to look it up :D But are you suggesting blue due to the blue patterns on the racket as from a far it will just look black. So would you not say it's best to go for white strings then?

    No, if you like BG80P in orange, I say go with the orange. Blue strings would look good too - obviously - as would neon yellow, which I'm surprised nobody has used yet. White goes with everything so no issues there.

    It doesn't really matter what strings you use though, because from a distance the racket just looks like a dark blob and there's nothing you can really do about that. If Yonex were smart, they should've brought out a limited edition 'neon' blue in BG80 and BG66U at the same time, charged gigabucks for it and watched the coin roll in. #evilempire

    You'd need about 10 applications of white and 3 of blue haha ;)

    Paradoxically my ARC11 TH got a BP of 292 compared to my stock ARC11. Same sizes, strings and grip! Concerning extremes, the racketchart of Yonex shares an other impression! But anyway you are right!

    That could be the case! Played an 3U ZF1 LTD (sadly without measured it) and bought a ZF1 4U. Retrospective i felt the 3U not so head heavy despite the weight!

    Orange does go well with the racket. I can visualize in my mind. It compliments well. Neon yellow is pretty common...

    Nobody thought of pink? Haha

    It looks to me BG80 and BG66 are the prefered strings for this racquet.
    Do any of these come in black?

    66 does. Alternatively black, I'll recommend totalson bl8000, but it's fun only at a high tension - 27lbs and above.

    I think 66 ultimax lasts way longer then 66... I hit quite hard and 66 snapped in a day.
