    What's your guys' favorite edition of the z force 2? Ordered the original black one from topline, which is out of stock which I had to find out myself after two days... But they only have the yellow one in Stock. Some side by side photos would help me choose haha.

    You don't need photos - just Google them! :D

    Personally, I've got the Z Force 2 4U (original black / blue / graphite) x 2, the LCW 3U edition (unfortunately it doesn't come in 4U in my market), the Lin Dan 4U yellow edition.

    Might be a grip / string set-up, but I find the original black one to be the most comfortable to use for offence and defence. The Lin Dan edition feels less head-heavy (!). Otherwise it's exactly the same racket.

    I've been looking on google haha. But almost all the images are "enhanced" compared to what you see in real life i.e variation in shades.
    Blue has such a omniscient feel around it

    For me, for the even balanced rackets, not so much. For the head-heavies (e.g. Voltrics) and the head-lights (e.g. Nanorays), the weight classes do lend some difference.

    3u and 4u for voltric feels different especially in the wrist. I assume you have a strong wrist for ordering the 3u z force 2

    I don't know if these are considered "heavy duty" but I've used the z force 1 3u, victor lyd in 3u and bravesword 12 in 3u with much success

    Other than the color differences, they are identical.

    For double, i would suggest 4U head heavy rackets such as Voltric series or 3U Headlight series like Nanoray.

    Any difference between the original Z Force-2 and Z Force 2 Lin Dan (Yellow)? Weight, Stiffness, Head thickness ??

    VTZF2LD_With-string.jpg White ZF2 is absolutely stunning! I own the Red 4u version myself but I wish I owned this one.

    No doubt about it, its the coolest colorway of the ZF2 IMO. Also, wasn't there a purple variant of the Voltric Z Force 2? Not talking about the LCW pink version...

    I have the ZF2LD red and yellow 3U and it feels a lot heavier then the original ZF2 3U. I thought it was just me so I asked a few friends that also use the ZF2 to try both and they also agreed that the ZF2LD red and yellow 3U were heavier then the ZF2 original. From heaviest to lightest ZF2LD Yellow > ZF2LD Red > Original.

    I like the green one. Very light, flexible and large sweet spot.
