    Dude, don't mean to be rude to you. But since you're here to clarify. I need you to emphasize more about what are you trying to tell???

    Zfii well known it has tungsten grommet and that's make Zfii the stand out part. I bet 98% of bcers know about this.

    You're like here to point out something well known. It's like the feeling of telling us " hey guys, that car has 4 wheels. I have my bike which only has 2 wheels."

    I don't get what you trying to tell or you need to emphasize more.

    Lastly, this is DUORA10 thread. If you're here to talk about ZFII or ZF1 . Please go back to appropriate thread. There's ZFII and ZF1 thread. Once again for you to use search tool dude. Instead of telling something common well known basic knowledge.

    TOP,

    You can really tone things down. I think Marty is saying LCW used a zf2. This is directly relavent to a comment made prior.

    No matter ZF1 or ZF2. I'm here to share above infos to all BCers with pictures proven it's ZF1 NOT D10. NOT D10, That's the point. Hence, If there's still a small among of them think outer space and like to argue/challenge without any supported attach it's kinda hard for me to believe that. Anyway I trust what i see only and from the pictures shown above it's obviously ZF1.

    Unless, any BC members can find any source to prove it's ZFII and i would believe in. :)

    I am asking if at some point in LCW's playing career he did really use ZF2. Because you've proven that he repainted his ZF1 to be D10. did he also repainted his ZF1 to become ZF2 or just the D10.

    So far only can tell his D10 & D10LCW it's a repaint of ZF1.
    For his previous racket of ZFII & ZFIILCW which I can't tell yet as we got no closed up pic of his racket to compare with.
    But I believe it's repaint version as well, I don't think keep changing of different spec racket can bring up his level & performance, consistency it's more importance than gear as a professional players.

    Trying out my Duora 10 3U today. After 2 hours of doubles. I am impressed and start like it. Compared to my BS12 3U and 4U, it is giving more power but slightly slower in speed. Need to play with it for another few more games to make sure it is not the New Racket Syndrom that influence my feeling.

    Try the green side for speed. You might experience some losses in power though. :)

    Chou Tien Chen's D10 is also a repainted ZF1.
    See the string patterns in these pictures.
    curious about other players D10. (Endo, Danish players...)

    Nope. If you've noticed, he likes using the green side up nowadays for his forehand. Which means he likes a certain side over the other.

    And from the (very unclear, especially the second) picture you posted, I beg to differ, with only 3 crosses intersecting and not 4.
    Also, from the fact that he hasn't been constantly winning titles and big events, Yonex unlikely would repaint something for him.
    All England XD winner Praveen uses SP coded NR900, not even IN coded. So I guess CTC's a bit far off.

    Still, a fun time to be had for conspiracy theorists, to prove me wrong or otherwise.

    is there a thread for the Duora 7 that I can't seem to find? I have heard that it is much more friendlier for the average player than the Duora 10

    My rackets are currently: ARC11 and NR900. I used NR900 mostly for double and ARC11 sparingly. I'm interested to have a 3rd racket and contemplating between DUORA10 or Victor JS12 or even both (my wallet will cry though.. :confused:)

    Any suggestion?

    Too cold, and priced way too close to the Duora10. As a result, not much interest.

    I had another game with my D10 on yesterday. The more I play with it, the more I like it. The power generated is way better then my BS12. Although it is slightly slower but I think it is still good enough for double.

    I have heard that it's quite the hidden gem. Not sure how true.

    How much does a Duora 10 usually go for? I was just in Singapore on a trip and bought a Duora 7 at queensway for 170. Won't be able to play with it until I get back to Canada though.

    Depending on where you look, 190-200.

    LCW at extra $20-30 more. That's why its quite hard pressed to think you're not LCW-endorsed for 20SGD less.
