    More like "Lee Chong Wei's weapon of they paid him enough"...

    Hats off, though - they managed to make an even cheesier video than the GlanZ one!

    I thought the glanz was worse. Sadly they're not using the 2+4.

    I think they just chosen LCW because the sells of the ZFIILD are quite good and they don't want to break them down. The LCW sells were down after his forced holidays, so they can work with him for a new racket to promote.
    The video is boring. Where are the fireplace, christmastree, the armchair and the champagne?

    The best racket promotion video ever:

    Generally any racket that the very top guys promote have been very good such as ZF, ZFII, Nanoray 900, VT80 E-tune (think about it, they used LCW to promote it, they must have confidence this is one of their best to boost sales. Else, they wouldn't use one.)

    Can't wait for this guy to come out. And Yonex haters and Victor fans, please don't bash before the racket comes out.

    So can Yonex not make good racquets anymore?

    I feel like the ZF2 is one of the few good rackets they've put out recently. Everything else seems to be a gimmick or dull and numb.

    That's another horrible promo video, hands down. I wonder what must happen until Yonex finally fires its current PR-agency.

    I still struggle to get my head around the fact, that they intentionally created a racket that by design must swing differently for a forehand and a backhand. But I'm quite interested in these new shoes though...

    It seems like something you'd unnecessarily draw attention to, like 'This doesn't feel right am I using the right side of the racket?'.

    The frame to me looks like the smashed the Z Speed and ZF2 together.

    At the end of the video he's spinning the racket in his hand; better now than during the match...

    All I see is a fully pre woven racket with a machine showing 30.5 lbs, that racket is not actually strung :p

    Looks like the mains are going to be strung at 30.5 lbs if the machine is already set correctly.

    Come on, grow a sense of humour! Some of the recent comments are just hilarious! :D

    I think that I also don't spin my racket during rallies. But that is exactly the point - I don't want to think about this at all!
    Charlie-SWUK nailed it: After every single shot that sounds or feels a bit weird, I will think about if I'm holding the racket the right way or not. I know myself. And what then? Do I risk a look at the racket during a rally or not?
