One point though, the VTZF is even more head-heavier than a AT700. My AT700 used to give me shoulder pain initially but I had got used to that racket very nicely. The VTZF gave me some shoulder pain after a long session, so will take some time to tame this beast!!!
Let's just wait and see JP version usually becomes available in Japan domestic market within 2-3 weeks after the release of SP/TW version in global market CMIIW

ZF LTD literally just arrived in the shop I was in this Friday. Looks quite nice in person - same design as the regular one, just in white, purple and gold. I like the black/white/green version heaps better though.
Please allow for slight variations to the balance point as it is impossible to always have the same weight distribution on every racquet of the same produced. Unless you mean a measured difference of at least 5mm and above. And when you make such statements you can only be considered statistically and scientifically correct if you have measured 30 of these racquets and they really are all less than 5mm head heavy than the green version.
Did you weigh the rackets? 4U is a weight range of 80g-85g (dry weight). Perhaps your ZF LTD is 82g while your ZF green is 84g. And take into account the strings (ie. type, tension) and any overgrips used. All of that would skew your measurements.
I think the racket looks better if you see it with your eyes but the pictures from Yonex make it look really bad
Why a 'sticker'? Because you can't put a matte clearcoat over a mirror finish decal, because...you know....it will come out matte?
comparing between VTZF Green and VTZF Ltd Gold, Personally I feel both racquets are equal in terms of head-heaviness. The difference is VTZF Ltd Golds seems to be stiffer, compared to VTZF Green. IMHO
VTZF LTD is stiffer than VTZF Green? Then I better stay away from LTD, how i wish I can have a slightly flexible version of VTZF...
They appeared same to me. Please note: I compared my VT ZF LTD with only one ZF (4U) at the local store. So I have very limited data.
In my opinion, VTZF LTD is a stiff to a stiff+ racket which the stiffness is distributed on the entire racket from shaft to the racket head. On the other hand, Green VTZF is not as stiff as VTZF LTD on the shaft, however it is quite repulsive while maintaining the same accuracy on the racket frame. I am comparing 3U VTZF Ltd with 3U Green VTZF. For user friendliness, i would give Green VTZF higher point than VTZF LTD
