I struggled with my 3U V80 at first (4 sessions to be exact), but i love it now. Personally i think 3U version gives more power than the 4U ones. In terms of defences, speed and maneuverability, once you get used to it, you won't even see the differences TBH. My defence was just as good with the 3U or 4U feelings-wise. Just my 2 cents.
Personally I have no problems with the 3U... My racquet before was a AT900P 3U... Compare to the AT900P, the VT80 is very maneuverable even at 3U.
Hi. Im a big fan of the AT900 and it is currently my go to racket along with my Panda Power Trinity of course. I am considering the VT80 4U — does anybody have any good feedback regarding the swing speed of this compared to the AT900. I had a dry swing with the VT80 3U and it's too heavy for my liking. I haven't been able to get my hands on a 4U yet. Thanks
http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/ I bought my VT80s from here. Best customer service I have ever had with a online shop.
I played with my Armortec 900 Power 3U, when I changed to Voltric 80 4U, it is very light but it affect me a lot. I can't get use to it for 3 weeks. Until now I still like my Armortec better for double game.
You probably need to try the 3U VT80, since it sounds like you're more used to head heavy 3U rackets.
I could play with a 3U MX80 but gave up trying to use a 3U VT80. Planning to get a 4U version instead.
VT 80 4U is not available in the UK, only 3U! I use Arc 10 to play doubles, so considering this racket. I know most people suggested 4U for doubles, as its lighter, so more manuabrle in fast play. Even officilal Yonex UK website does not mention the existance of 4U!
