    Oh good point xD The ZF2 played really well when I used it, excellent control and INSANE stability. The thing that threw me off was when I saw the Arcsaber FB on the comparison list xD

    My local pro shop listed the Voltric 80 E-Tune ($240 CAD, Tax included) for $10 more than the Voltric 80! Includes free stringing as well a choice of string! Still quite expensive, though...

    Can I get a VT80 imported to Canada o_O That seriously sounds amazing!
    I guess the Canadian E-Tune price doesn't sound that bad in all honesty :p The conversion rate prices the CAD E-Tune at $190 USD. Now that's a pretty good price ;)

    229$ is the price plus taxes and strings, and it is a guess from my part. It may or may not be higher. They are probably not charging taxes when paying cash, which is illegal, but it seems to be the culture in badminton.

    Surely JOJ should be portrayed as a Viking and not a Samurai?

    There's already a video vt80etune on court....

    The only thing I like about this new one is the design.........maybe the different weight distribution helps a bit.(Or maybe it's another Yonex thing to get people to buy it)

    Eh. I don't find any reason to pay more for a better designed VT80 with attachable grommets and a possibly different weight distribution.

    Anyone got the new ETN? Just wondering if I remove all the continuous grommets, will it become a even balance VT80? I really don't like the head heaviness of the original VT80, and arcsaber series is too flexible for me.
