    Z-slash technology

    Hi, I live in Japan. I just feel that Z-slash technology is like trying to combine ovul and isometric together, may be just my feeling. I have both iso and ovul type of racket. Played with iso type for a long time and just switched to may carbonex 30ms lately, and just feel something...sweet feeling. Will play more with cab30ms after this.
    BTW, Yonex come out with so many techs rapidly. Recently, Voltric 70....has tri voltage tech? Beware you might get shock:D
    I've carbonex20 and Apacs Lethal 50 for sale...going to singapore in Dec...anybody interested pls let me know. Sorry to add the final ad sentence because I know many cab20 lover here.:p

    The Cab 30MS is a fantastic oval racket (3U version). There are a lot of fans in this forum that love this racket. I personally have 6 of them (2 broke). Great all round racket for doubles and singles.

    I rather get a Carlton Vapour Trail racket then the zslash anyday, I say the frame design is similar since both have a smaller sweetspot then the regular ISO but maintain it's faster swing speed of a Oval.

    Well also it depends on the type of player you are
    I'm a powerful player so I like the Arcsaber Z Slash and plus I like it because it is YONEX!!

    Well if I can find a similar performence racket, but a better looking I'll go for the other one. The Zslash is a good racket but I wish yonex made it look differently.

    No
    The original z slash may not be the best looking one but the Taufik hidayat z slash looks better

    I agree it helps if you hit off-centered shots

    Optimetric XD Oval for me, purely because of the last few rackets have been hybrids of Iso and Oval to different degrees. I like the better head speed I get with Oval, but there's hardly a difference in the end - IMO.

    Before it's oval but as the saying goes: ''once bitten, forever charmed''. Therefore, isometric it is:D!

    Isn't it about the right time for the poll to be updated to (1) Isometric, (2) in-between and (3) oval;)?
