Not the greatest looking racquet but the yellow colour scheme sure stands out compared to others in the Yonex range.
Yup, i know Z. ZStrike ZForce ZSlash The legendary "Z". Im kinda wondering are YY are in confusion when naming their product Z series Numbering - 38D, 68D, 88D Naming - 88D Pro, Tour, Games, Play Back to Z again mixed with naming.
Also, from the pics of the racquet its badged 1000ZZ. No idea why they've dropped a Z and called it 1000Z.
What have they doooneeee... the stealth All England version was so sexy... was just hope for a few lightnings That head light / head heavy thing is so confusing.....supposed to be head light... Is it gonna be some kind of JS10 OG with more power then ? Like in that commercial Facebook
the price is concerning.. it is currently priced at 33000 Yen which is the most expensive Yonex badminton racket to date. As comparison most expensive racket 100zz is about 31900 Yen and 99 Pro 30800Yen.
Compact frame, and extra stiff- now that's interesting! Always wanted to see a compact frame nf700 and this could be it. Can't wait for reviews!
I’m excited at the release of Nanoflare 1000 Z. The head light, thicker compact frame and extra stiff shaft reminds me of the Nanospeed 9000 Type X that I loved playing with. Tech-wise, it certainly has changed. Curious to know how it would actually feel like.
yonex Z model = Extra stiff + compact frame (nanoray Z speed, 100ZZ, Z force II, duora Z-strike) as far as i know
Waiting for them Volant guys to try and recommend their matte black racket instead, regardless of 1000z performance Interesting if its headheavy, the stiffness indicator isn't far left either. But why does it say 10mm when Yonex main page lists this as a 5mm racket. Seem Yonex is running out of ideas pretty fast, from power bumper to control bumper and now speed bumper grommets lol. Can't make the racket any faster so shorten the racket length like the 88S series, slap on a compact frame yet use a thicker shaft. I am getting Zslash vibes tho especially since they added in Ultra PEF :O
Nope, it just the usual Yonex Illusion Magic. Using logical normal stuff, naming it with cool name, & makes it look like serious grand invention.
I think if they'd added yellow colour strip(like the 12 o'clock region) on both sides at 9 & 3 o'clock to break up the black, it would properly look a lot nicer. Because yellow and black is a nice striking colour scheme but contrast between the head and shaft looks odd, not blending in harmoniously as a whole.
