    Hmm I don't think so. This is exactly how the arcsaber is usually specced so I'd say this points towards replacement series.

    Ok, but still even for the arcsabers, a 2U is pretty hard to get a hold of, especially in the UK. I would have thought the Duora would be similar.

    Not many use 2U in the first place though

    True, although from what I have heard (I might be wrong) the 2U is sort of a endangered species, that was once more popular, but lately have been getting more and more rare.

    Exactly, I can't see any reasons for why someone would choose a 2U.

    Problem with this racquet is that (assuming stiff shaft), there is no information on whether it is even balanced or head heavy(less than Voltric, presumably)... So all we are ramping on and on is only how the dual concept applies...

    So many mysteries...

    Forehand feels between the zf2 and zspeed. meaty feel.

    backhand feels like the slash.

    Ex-VAT if importing ... (technically anyway)

    UK undoubtedly RRP £210 :D. The JP RRP is no different than normal though ... thank the JP government instead of Yonex :p

    The advantage is that you can turn pretty much any racket into a 2U Head Light racket :p

    You're right with the racket, but I actually like the shoes...
