    ....honestly, the more bashing I read about the Z-Speed, the more I get interested in actually testing this thing for myself! Is there something wrong in my head?! :rolleyes:

    No. It's human nature to be curious and shoot themselves in the foot.

    It's not that bad if you can get over the bad feeling. It's fast and yet powerful. Every once in a while I give my Z-Speed another chance and tell myself "Come on, you can get used to the feeling - then it's a good racket", but every time I do so, I realize that I just can't! :D

    Have you tried shrieking like you just got stabbed or stung by a hornet after each rally to charm the racket? There are rumours that you can even become world champion and #1 in the world rankings with that technique and the Z-Speed... :D

    Honestly, I just don't understand how Marin and Tago enjoy playing with this racket...

    I don't understand how so many pros can tolerate and choose it tbh.

    Well, Tago played with the z-Slash too, so clearly we're the ones with the problem ;)

    The z slash was fine. At least it didn't feel like I was using cotton wool for strings.

    Yeah, but the feeling of Z-Slash was okay except for the timing issues, imo.

    The Z-Speed felt okay, but only when smashing, and only when hitting a part of the stringed that was about the size of thimble.

    But anyway, we're digressing.....

    the zlsash and zspeed is powerful...most probably the most powerful racket in my way of playing.

    I guess he means the ZSpeed is like a head heavier JS10 with much poorer feel.

    Just goes to show the player wins games, not the racket. Marin is world champion. What are we?
