So Yonex can't make a better HH than the ZF2? Ehhh. It's a pretty great racket, but I think they should've found something they can tweak by now.
Well the original Z-Force was running rampant for two years I believe. LCW was using it before the start of the 2012 Olympics and he didn't start using the Z-II till the All England in 2014. We might be seeing a new HH racket next year.
IMO the ZFII is a great racket. The 4U suits my XD and MD game very well and for singles it is powerful enough. IMO Yonex made a a smart move with this racket. I doubt that we will get a ZFIII. Oldest was Nanospeed replace by Nanoray(2011?), than Arcsaber replacement Duora(2015) is in the making. I think next will be Voltric in 2017. IMO Yonex do very well with the signatures compared to other brands.
ZF2 is a good racket.. And the way yonex refresh it, and the way they give 'options' for the same racket is actually working. Just look how much zf 2 and their variants are being used in clubs.
i am not too sure about elsewhere but for all the stores in Canada pre-ordering for the red only comes with 3u option...i do really hope that this is not the case
Below is an image of an Apacs Z-Vanguard II (Renamed now as N-Force) which is a Z-Force II clone. I have seen references to this racquet/colourway dating back to January of 2015. Does this mean that Yonex has cloned the colours of a clone racquet?

just got myself a early Christmas present with White VTZF2LD, personally I think the best looking racket released since VT80et, very very super nice looking racket!
I am so jealous...... those are so beautiful. Anyways, can anyone share any reliable online shops from Japan where I can get a JP coded of these beauties apart from Rakuten? Bought my VT80ETN there, but so far I still cant find any in-stock of these on rakuten.
Since these are limited edition rackets and LD's hugely popular here, most major online stores will already be sold out on pre-order. I picked up mine from a local racket shop and googled out some online stores that still carry them but not sure if they could ship overseas. http://www.nanaha.co.jp/item/vtzf2ld_2/ http://m.aumall.jp/item/224463943
And sadly they are already out of stock already! Hahahahaha. Its okay then, maybe i will just have to settle with the SP coded ones here, my collector's heart isnt gonna forgive me this easily:crying: But about its status as limited edition rackets... how limited are they actually? Because the yellow ones are labeled as limited editions as well, but there are still so many shops even here still having them in stock.
limited as they would sold out early on preorder on major online stores like Rakuten, Amazon, Yahoo, and usually won't make it to major retail shop like Sports Depot or Sports Authority unlike the other usual rackets, some local racket shop might carry them but usually would sold out really fast, reselling price is higher than actual retail price for mint condition items, if it's a yellow JP coded the reselling price is still higher than retail price at the moment for mints, some crazy seller might hike the price really high if LD win gold in Rio, so there's a LD factor and collectible in the equation
