Mine is on its way too! But I didn't have much choice on the string's colour. Do remember to post the pic here, mate!
I've picked up mine last Monday, and have just strung the racket with NBG95@11kg and decided to stay on the dark side. The Color remind me of the Widebody 30, also matt black with some turqoise in it. To me, the design is less impressive. I think most of my mates won't even recognize the racket from a distance. Stringing this racket is a pleasure. The new Tungsten Infused Grommets automatically put the string aside so the wholes between it remains free. Also, it's great the stickers are placed at more safe positions. So no damaged stickers during stringing. Tomorrow, I'll test them against the Nanoray Z-Speed, and the old Z-Force. Too bad I had to recover the Limited Z-Force. My current standard one is a 4U-G4 and the rackets below are all 3U-G4: The balance of the ZF2 is less head heavy compared to the normal Z-Force. The shaft is again thinner. I've really measured it again. Makes me wonder why they make it thinner. Can you imagine how stiff the racket would have been, if the shaft was not this thin? Also because it's a head heavy racket, I would have liked a stiffer shaft to prevent the shaft from bending too much for control. Combining a thinner shaft does not sound logic to me. Maybe the repulsion helps creating more power. Or maybe less air resistance? The head shape is exactly the same as the Z-Speed. But it lacks the snap zones and is more or less the same in frame aerodynamics. Also, the grommets protection slot, goes all the way down to minimize air resistance. The frame is smaller than the previous Z-Force, which also helps reducing resistance and increased speed. Initial swings are easier with the ZF2. I'm really curious how this racket plays because it feels good!
Let's do some colour theory 101. Complimentary colours are those opposite each other on the colour wheel. The colour opposite blue is ORANGE. Red and blue don't go together, despite what numerous regal houses from history tell you (Not to mention it has conservative overtones which are clearly not appropriate on a piece of technology like this) Now, the more turquoise the blue is - leaning towards green - the more a redder-orange will suit. However, red is not the best complimentary colour for blue. In fact, it's close to being the least. Colours more complimentary to blue than red: Orange Green Purple Yellow Tones of blue So probably the best option of the readily available colours of string is yellow. Or for BG80P fans, orange. People who like BG66, take your pick. Thus endeth the sermon ...
I don't think people are matching with the blue on the racket (which is minimal in quantity), but the matt black. I do agree in terms of optimum aesthetics and complimentary colours, but because the majority colour is black, all the aforementioned strings still look pretty decent. That said, I'm stuck with colours as I only use BG66UM and ZM62 and in the UK these come in very limited colours right now (red, yellow and white only).
As per above: if you were thinking red -> orange. I don't think the blue is minimal enough to ignore ... Of course in the end the preferred stringtype should prevail over colour (BG80 yellow was first in mind before sky blue as the flashy variant or for Zymax: yellow - white - red)
I just got my 3U VTZF2, and tried it yesterday. At first, it feels a little heavy, but 30mins into the game, the heaviness no longer bothers me. Smashes just feel great! To my surprise, although it's a little head heavy, it doesn't really affect my maneuver.
No conspiracy in her VTFZ2 4U5G but conspiracy about her FB 3U5G. I know that from who stung her racket.
