    Could you please suggest a racquet as heavy and stiff like Voltric ZF2 LCW (Pink, not black/blue)? It must 3U and extra stiff and very head heavy I believe.

    Yonex, Victor, Li-Ning options/suggestions would be fine.

    How about Adidas Wucht P8? It even comes in limited edition pink colour at the moment.

    As much as I like it, it's not close head weight wise.

    The 3U ZFII is a sledge hammer, the color doesn't matter. They're all the same. No other racket comes close. If you cannot get that, the P8 might be an option, but if you're looking for a 3U ZFII, you'll be disappointed.

    Thank you. You mean to say that 3U ZF ll specifications are same as that of 3U ZF ll LCW?

    I have black/blue ZF ll (perhaps not 3U). Also, had ZF ll LCW (pink)... But the LCW was way too powerful than my ZF ll (possibly 4U, will recheck). That time, i couldn't handle LCW edition it so I sold it. But I am in love with that racquet again. Sadly, i cannot find it anywhere online. So looking for a racquet equivalent to it.

    Would also like to look into other options like

    Victor
    Li ning
    Adidas (thanks for P8)
    Mizuno

    Preferably with similar weight and stiffness.

    ZFII is very unique racket, it will be difficult task :D'
    Li ning rackets wouldnt even be close to it in terms of stiffness mainly, so you can just ignore li ning.
    You may check Victor BXR. It is extra stiff, head heavy, and quite aerodynamic. Thats the closest I can think of. It has 3u option ofc.

    I think Astrox 99 3U might be a close option.

    All 3U ZF II are the same specs, there's no difference between different colors. You can still get that racket, so try to get it.

    If you cannot find it anymore, you can start looking into other rackets, but none will be like that. If you're looking into other rackets, give the P8 a try.

    Power comes from you, your technique, not the racket. Keep that in mind. It doesn't hurt to have a legendary racket like the ZF II, though.

    Great! Will try to acquire 3U ZFll first (at most places, 4U is available sadly). Second would be P8. Will look into Victor as well.

    The 3u ZFII was never introduced to India outside of the LCW form. What you're seeing as difference is simply the difference between the 4u and 3u. You'll have to either find some friend coming from other asian countries to procure one or buy it from e78.us or mybadmintonstore.com

    That's why you haven't been able to find a similar spec. It doesn't exist in India. We buy all of ours either from Singapore directly or import through e78.

    Search for a thruster k dong on amazon until then if you're in a hurry. Even higher BP than the ZF2 lol.

    Thank you. Was wondering how the best shops don't have a 3U version! Mbs then! There wouldn't be any shipping/customs issues, right?

    Thinking of ordering either of the following, along with ZFll :


    Victor Hypernano X-900
    Victor Meteor X-80 B
    Victor Thruster K-9900
    Adidas Wucht P5
    Adidas Wucht P8

    All have 3U variants and are stiff.


    Surprised to see that 3U racquets are not available in India. Worse is that most players/shookeepers aren't even aware what 3U is! They don't even know that 3U version exists for many racquets in other Asian countries!

    Sorted the list out for ya lol. E78 is cheaper by quite a bit I think IIRC. Better check the prices. Minute charges like 8-900 sometimes if the parcel is caught.

    Yeah they aren't. Or what G5, G6 mean and how they equate to other labels in Apacs and Li Ning.
