Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 Review: Features, Pros and Cons
This 85grams racket is full of exhausting features that a player needs from an offensive speed racket. Besides the impressive build quality, you’ll be getting features like Tri-Voltage System, Sound Filter, Maximum Energy Transfer & Tungsten Infused Grommets With this racket. I’ll be discussing these features in-details below.
Tri-Voltage System
Full and half smashes are the supplement of aggressive gameplay. This Tri-Voltage System increased the smashing power with excellent handling. Usually, rackets with high speed are tough to handle – as they don’t use the Tri-Voltage system. But this racket used that technology with perfection.
The main objective of the Tri-Voltage system is to ensure aggressive shots (smashes) with excellent handling capability. Along with the technology, the stiff shaft helps increase accuracy with every shot. Be as violent as you want – this racket will ensure the best performance in every situation.
Though you can make full power smashes with ease, it’s much harder to defend smashes with this racket. This racket has a small sweet spot, and you’ll be hitting the shuttle with frame unknowingly while defending from full power smashes of your opponents.
Sound Filter
The sound filter is needed as you need to be laser-focused while defending and making smashes. Unwanted sound & sensation can make you unstable while playing racket.
Thanks to Yonex sound filter technology as it solves most of the sound issues with a professional racket. Yonex Voltric Z Force 2 uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce dull soundwaves. Moreover, it produces a sharper and louder sound for your opponent to become unsettled.
Racket’s vibration gives an uncomfortable sensation to most of us. Luckily, this sound filter reduces sensation too by eliminating 31% of vibrations as well.
Maximum Energy
As you already know – this racket has a small yet heavyweight head. Besides a little head, it comes with a relatively shorter shaft. Though this shaft is ultra-thin, it’s strong enough to lead any gameplay.
Racket’s head shape matters when it comes to aggressive gameplay. You can’t expect to have an excellent gaming experience with an egg-shaped head. Luckily, Yonex knew this better than us. They have included an ultra-aerodynamic shaped head that helps with increasing power and reducing deceleration while hitting the shuttle.
Even with the maximum power, I faced difficulty controlling lifts with this racket. Though it was possible to control lifts standing in specific positions – but still, it could have been better. In short, lifts are comparably better with other rackets of this price range.
Tungsten Infused Grommets
This technology helps to increase the contact time between string and shuttle. As you know frame flexes and in return, produces transfer power for the shuttle. So, if you can increase the flexing period – you will be able to maximize shuttle transfer power.
This tungsten infused grommets did the same thing. This technology combined with the Tri-Voltage system ensures maximum transfer power for the shuttle for leading extreme gameplay.
• Super Maneuverability – Helps standing out from similar rackets
• Aggressive Gameplay
• Impressive NetPlay – net kills & net shots are accurately delivered
• Shuttle gets hit by frame while defending aggressive shots
