Yonex Armortec 900 Power LC

I've had difficulty using this racket at first. It was really stiff and heavy so I couldn't get any speed on it. It's also got the honor of being the first racket I've dropped onto to the floor. I was blocking a smash and off it came!

A few months and a little bit of skill upgrade later, I'm able to confidently handle the beast. And I must say it's become quite the weapon. Coming off a Karakal PU Super Grip, I've changed to using only an overgrip (one with ridges for some comfort). Having the thinner grip gave it even more power!

With the two sessions firmly in my memory, I decided to write a review for the second of the World Beating Performance rackets that I own.

This review is from my opinions of the racket and the game of badminton,. Take this with a pinch of salt. If you've got questions on this racket, feel free to ask.

Ok, now on to the review.

Yonex Armortec 900 Power LC
Dry Weight: 86-89g (3U)
Grip Size: G5
Balance: Head-Heavy
Max String Tension: 24lbs
Flex: Very Stiff
Strings: Yonex BG66 @ 24lbs

I've used this racket only for singles play.

Defense
This racket is heavy, and you can really feel it when you have to concentrate on defending them smashes! I found myself hitting the frame on defense, to me a clear sign of not being able to move the racket head fast enough to intercept the flight of the shuttle.

What's even more drastic is the switching of defense from left to right. You're going to have to depend on your instinct for this one. The weight of the Armortec 900 can really slow reaction down a bit.

However, it's the same weight that gives your returns the solid push and feel that's required to turn defense into offense. Be it a soft block to the front or a hard drive the opposite direction of the court, the Armortec 900 Power delivers.

Attack
While we're on the topic of delivering, I might as well get to the point here.

The racket's got a "Power" to its name. That's got to stand for something. The stiffness of the racket, coupled with the heaviness of its frame, brings a very satisfying attack to your game.

Pushes to the sides of the court were sharp and flat, smashes down were powerful. What you might want to be careful for is a well-placed return. The weight of the Armortec 900 Power leaves you less time for recovery after a hard attack.

Control
I like it when a racket allows me more time to think about where to place the shot than worry about using enough strength to deliver the shot where I want it to. Low-effort rackets like this one makes a game so much more enjoyable.

The Yonex Armortec 900 Power LC offers the ease of power, leaving you in command of the flight of the shuttle. I wasn't in any situation where I found myself having to place thought into putting more power to deliver to the far side, and that is worth a mention.

Looks
This racket's modeled after a fearsome tiger, with stripes coming off the t-joint blending in with the powerful black and yellow head. At the two and ten o'clock positions of the head are the bright blue eyes of the predator, ready to pounce at a loose shuttle. The look's topped off by the white streams atop the racket allowing the word "Power" to be clearly visible.

What a sight.

Yonex Armortec 900 Technique

This one has been sitting around for quite a bit because there's really too much rackets in my bag to want to bring this out for a test. I've also recently went back to the trusty old Yonex Nanogy 98 and have been putting the Armortec 900 Technique until I can get the strings replaced.

But I decided against it and took the racket out for a swing with its current string. Surprisingly this racket is probably one of the few rackets that can bring out a powerful smash from the NGB99. I had a very good impression of the racket, and didn't have to bring out my spare racket for the day until the grip gave way from too much smashing.

Note. This review is my opinion of the racket from my use. Take this with a pinch of salt since we all play the game differently. I'm here to tell you, in as much accuracy as I can, how my games went with this racket. Comments welcome!

Ok here goes.

Yonex Armortec 900 Technique
Est. Dry Weight: 97g (3U)
Grip Size: G5
Balance: Head-Heavy
Stiffness: Stiff
Strings: Yonex Nanogy 99 @ 25lbs

I recommend this racket for doubles play.

Defense
I rate defense above all in the game of badminton, and this racket does not disappoint. It's got a fast swing for a head-heavy racket, and the blocks that come off the racket are pretty good. I was able to take on most of the smashes coming at me, the Yonex Armortec 900 Technique providing enough power behind the lifts and stability off the blocks.

One thing I found really enjoyable with this racket was intercepting flat smashes with a drive defense. Those who play with me regularly will know is one of my favorite moves, and the AT900T really pulls this off well. It may not be as fast as the other lighter rackets I have, which makes blocking at the net a little more cumbersome, but it's fast enough to be lethal if you get yourself a flat enough smash to turn around.

Attack
Head-heavy racket, fast swing speed, the rest is up to your deduction.

Even at 25lbs, the racket was able to pack quite a punch to its smashes from the back court. I had a lot of fun thumping down the smashes and throwing in a few angles here and there.

Even with the overhead smashes the Armortec 900 Technique performs admirably. I could get quite a bit of power into the overheads, even more than my usual amount.

Drives with this racket are enjoyable as well, though not as brutal as those you get from the Voltrics. Taking aim at the body and whipping in a good one seems easy enough to want to do over and over.

Another thing I noticed, and I'm giving the strings quite a bit of the credit here, are the excellent level drop shots that I can get off this racket. The Yonex Armortec 900 Technique is able to take shuttles late enough and still keep it close enough to the net for a threatening soft shot.

I seldom write that much about a racket's attack, but the AT900T's really made it enjoyable to take the offensive with.

Control
This is one more for the strings since I think the NBG99 are really good for control (they're marketed that way to begin with - extra braided to get that extra grip on the shuttle).

Quite a number if higher-skill shots I performed today were pulled off without much punishment from the opponent. The weight transfer in the racket felt just right, whether I was going for the cross-court drop shot off a good serve return or if I was a little late in getting to that flat lift and I wanted to give a drop shot down the channel.

Lifts to the back court were done without a glitch, and the excellent defense from this racket made me feel confident that I could take on most smashes and drops.

Even with the long clears, there isn't much drag from the racket when performing an overhead, and that allows you to take to the next position quickly.

Good stuff.

Looks
White has always been a popular color with shuttlers, and the Yonex Armortec 900 Technique is no less classier. Alternating bands of white and grey line the base of the head frame, leading to the T-Joint where the boxy font of the Armortec series comes in.

The 3 and 9 o'clock for the head frame adds to the color with signature red and black, rounding up at the top with the customary "technique" typography right at the top against a silver-grey coat.

Yonex Voltric 60

White blue and hot all over. This racket just calls out to be reviewed, and I obliged like a drunk walking into a 7-11.
The design of the Yonex Voltric 60 appealed to me first of all, and then the G6 made to take a second look. The racket feels really light, and cuts through the air with a nice and crisp swoosh.

On first use, the level of the control that the VT60 gave was amazing, and it continued throughout the testing period for the review. I must admit that the play time that the racket got wasn't as much as the rest, but good things can't wait, and here I am writing about it.

Let me first state that I am no pro, and this is just my evaluation of the racket to my playing style and experience with it, If anything, I'm a low-intermediate level player looking to improve myself by playing more often and taking the lessons that I learn from the court away with me as pointers for the next session.

I play a mix of aggression and control, alternating between drop shots and sharp smashes to get the job done. I believe that the main goal of the wonderful game is to get your opponent moving so much they can't reach the shuttle eventually, and the loud thunderous smash is just a bonus that you get in between. As such, footwork is key, and technique supplements that so that you get the most out of your strokes. Power is nothing without control, and control is nothing without the proper strategy.

With that said, now on to the review.

Yonex Voltric 60 (New Hotness)
Dry Weight: 84g (4U)
Grip Size: G6
Balance: Slightly Head-Heavy
Max String Tension: 24lbs
Flex: Medium
Strings: BG66 @ 24lbs


Technology
- Tri-Voltage System
- Super Slim Shaft
- Sound Filter (BOOM)

Defense
I like to play a nice defensive game instead of a strong attacking, mostly because I don't think I'll have the strength to carry on with the smashes and drives and clears and smashes and drives and clears... The Voltric 60 gives me the perfect excuse to lift and wait because the racket just delivers when it comes to taking the hits.

Lightweight frame and quick swing speed gave me such quick response time. Couple that with the small grip size that allowed me to use more wrist to give variation to the returns, and it's a great defensive line-up that brings lifts, drives and net blocks to wonderfully enjoyable level.

Attack
This guy is no Voltric 80, and it shows in the speed of the shuttle off the smash. The light weight just doesn't cut it when you want to deliver a fierce check smash to unnerve the opponent. I found myself relying on the excellent control factors of the Voltric 60 to move the opponent instead of kicking the game up an offensive notch.

But the sound filter seemed to have gotten an upgrade with the VT60, as I noticed a "bark is louder than its bite" effect coming off my smashes.

Control
The Yonex Voltric 60 is a sniper when it comes to placing shuttles. The ease at which I could move the opponent around the court is amazing, and the accuracy rating of my shots skyrocketed once I started using the VT60. 6 corners, varying speeds - amazing.

Net play was superb, with tumbles and fast drops and net returns comparatively easier than with the other rackets that I brought to the game.

The increased confidence from the control also gives me more chances to try the trick shots and double motions that I've been meaning to practice on, so that's a plus I guess.

Looks
Holy crap this racket looks good! A more elegant version of the Voltric 80, the VT60 takes away the brutality of the heavier racket and replaces it with the cleanliness of thinner lines and more white space on the shaft. Turquoise and gold lines stream up the shaft to the head from the silver cone, ending near the YY logo at the T-Joint.

The frame continues the sleek design from the shaft, away from the louder tribal swerves of the VT80. Clean lines and short curves dominate the design, turquoise and a slight tinge of gold dominating the color palette.

The racket's strung with turquoise strings, and it completes the look. What a gentleman's racket.

Comparison
The Voltric 60 offers probably the highest level of control that I've experience from my rackets, with the Carlton Fireblade FX8 coming in at second. The ease of control translates into better footwork and a clearer mind when playing, and this affects the game a lot more that we usually give credit for.

I think that from watching international competitions, we're all sort of attuned to the overly offensive nature of the game. It's time to revisit the strategic aspects of the beautiful game of badminton and start thinking about making your game play an art form instead of chasing after loud smashes and snapped strings.

And what better way to start than getting yourself a Yonex Voltric 60.

Yonex Voltric 70

So after a fun singles session and about an hour on the doubles court, I gather that I've had enough experience with the VT70 to write up a review.

To be honest, it's surpassed my expectations and performed quite different than what I thought it would. What felt like a really heavy flexible racket turned out to fit very well to my game. I use a combination of long swings and fast wrist turns during my games and the Yonex Voltric 70 is able to pull off all of those with gusto.

This leaves me with a very good choice of racket for every occassion.

Note. This review is my opinion of the racket from using it in my games. Take this with a pinch of salt since we all play the game differently. I'm here to tell you, in as much accuracy as I can, how my games went with the racket. Comments welcome!

Ok here goes.

Yonex Voltric 70
Est. Dry Weight: 97g (3U)
Grip Size: G5
Balance: Head Heavy
Stiffness: Medium
Strings: Yonex Nanogy 98 @ 24lbs

I recommend this racket for both singles and doubles play.

Defense
I love the heavy heads of the Voltric series. In addition to a powerful offense, they offer up a very good lift in defense when you want them to. The Tri-Voltage "lumps" on the head frame contributes to a little more push when you need to call upon it, sending a very nice weight transfer to the shuttle to handle the smashes with a little more ease.

Apart from the lifts, push and drive defense also get a bonus from the additional speed from the VT70, whose overall weight now feels slightly less than the VT80. That makes the racket feel quicker and more agile when it comes to defense.

What I noticed was, even when it comes to the defensive shots that come really close to your body, I'm able to push past the front net player with a block, averting the game-ending net tap.

Love the defense. Love the speed. Love the power.

Attack
Whip and weight gives you an awesome combination when it comes to the Voltric 70. Angles unimaginable came flying from my wrists, back court or front court. The speed I was able to get them down was also fast, posing a much greater threat than the other rackets that I used tonight.

Another strong suit for the Yonex Voltric 70 is the wrist smashes. With a very flexible shaft, I was able to twist the shaft downwards even more to get more power from the quick wrist smashes. When the weight from the Tri-Voltage system kicks in, it becomes a very good weapon to use around the front court.

I did find myself throwing off a lot more smashes than usual because of how enjoyable it became. The shuttle just thundered itself from the string bed and zipped off to the other side of the court so well.

Control
Power is nothing without control, and the Yonex Voltric 70 gives you the accuracy you need to get the smashes down and the drives through. Through the hours of play that I managed to get with the racket, I've not found myself asking for more control.

From the drop shots (though they came in less) to the drives and the oh-so-lovely smashes, I was able to place them nicely without too much hassle.

But I do notice that I hardly do any drop or net shots with the racket. Probably because attack with this is simply too addictive. I dare say, even more so that the VT80.

Looks
Suave. Yonex's signature black, red and white comes together one more time to give off a very classy paint job on the Yonex Voltric 70. The white streaks color the Tri-Voltage areas of the racket, while the red and black twirl around the frame and shaft in a freedom of movement.

Yonex Voltric 80

I thought this day would never come. A few months ago I was deciding between the Voltric 80 and the ArcSaber Z-Slash for my racket, and I eventually chose the lather.

Which was a good decision because I've come quite a way in terms of skill and technique and I wouldn't have been able to handle the Voltric 80 back then.

So now, with 4 hours of playing time in the bag, I've decided to write a review for this ridiculously overpowered masterpiece.

Let me first state that I'm no pro, and this is just my evaluation of the racket to my playing style and experience with it. If anything, I'm a high-beginner level player looking to improve myself by playing more often and taking the lessons that I learn from the court away with me as pointers for the next session.

With that said, now on to the review.

Yonex Voltric 80
Dry weight: 89g (3U)
Balance: Extremely Head-Heavy
Max String Tension: 27lbs
Flex: Stiff
Strings: BG66 @ 24lbs

Technology
- Nanopreme
- Tri-Voltage System
- Ultra Slim Shaft

Defense
This thing is heavy, and I found myself using a little more effort when it comes to defending against quick shots. But that doesn't mean I end up giving away points though - the Voltric 80's high level of control affords its user an increased accuracy when it comes to both offense and defense.

The weight of the head-heavy monster also lends that little ummph when you want to return a lift from your opponent's smashes.

Attack
Straight drives, IMBA. Smashes, ridiculously fast. Get ready to break the sound limit with the Yonex Voltric 80. With every attack you can basically feel the strings wrap around the shuttle head and throwing it out with as much force as the racket can muster. Sweet.

Control
Pinpoint accuracy to every corner of the court, with ease too. Clears and drops come easy, but I found that the brute strength granted by the racket left me hungry for smashes, neglecting the softer approach altogether.

That aside, despite being power-hungry I was still able to get my hits right where I want them (newbie miscalculations not-withstanding).

Looks
Too tribal and wild for my liking, but the white shaft and gold streaks down the side does help a little. Had an idea to wrap around with a purple grip but stuck to the safer black and gold conbination.

Comparison
This racket is used by the World-Class players, and there's a reason why. The Legendary Yonex Voltric 80 Badminton Racket is without a doubt one of the best rackets that I've ever had the chance to use. It's going to be tough for Yonex to top this, but I sure hope as hell hope they'd try.

Yonex Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei

Badminton Racket Review: Yonex Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei

This being my first review in such a long time, I'd like to take the change to thank all the readers who still visit the blog and leave real great comments. Racket technology has really stagnated and I've not been motivated to take on new ones, but hopefully that'll change soon.

The Yonex Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei was the last racket I felt the urge to buy, given the reasons beforementioned. One of the first things that stuck me was the very eye-catching color scheme - the dark pink, blue and gold hues versus the previous matte black and blue streaks.

Now I've always been skeptical about 3U Voltrics. While the series has become the top-selling yonex rackets due to it's immense power and attacking potential, the 3U rackets are notoriously difficult to handle.

From the Voltric 70 to the 80 and the Z-Force , I've always found the lack of total control over my shots disturbing.

This was changed with the Yonex Voltric Z-Force II.I used u4 and it was perfect in every way. While I could probably use a little more power to my attacks, the racket offered very little to frown on. It quickly become one of my favorite rackets.

The lack of power quickly caught up, especially in my doubles games, and it made me wonder if the 3U Z-Force II would do any good. This coincided with the launch of the Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei, and I took it upon myself to give it a try.

It was a tough journey, and I know I still have a long way to go before I can tap on the potential of this beast.

Note: This is a review of my experience after using the racket for a few sessions. I am by no means a professional player, and so you should take my judgement with a pinch of salt. I welcome comments of any sorts.

Yonex Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei
Est. Dry Weight: 88g (3)
Grip Size: G5
Balance: Head-Heavy
Stiffness: Extra Stiff
Strings: Yonex Nanogy 98 @ 27lbs

Defense:
The biggest issues I have with 3U rackets is how slow I can get on defense. Being a counter-attack player, I depend heavily on my defensive shots to turn the game around and move the opponent into trouble. Having a racket slow of defense can really mess up my game.

Rackets I've abhorred because of this include the Yonex Armortec 900 Power, Voltric Z-Force, Li Ning N70 and N90-II. When the shots come, I take that few moments more to defend and it all goes downhill.

The Voltric Z-Force II LCW continues the trend of 3U rackets to a certain extent. While the slim head frame and shaft design adds to the aerodynamics of the racket, there's no taking away the extra 4-5g of weight at the front, which considerably drags your wrist down.

Lifts to the back off a smash now become a little harder to execute; the wrist just doesn't have enough power to pull the shuttle higher.

Blocks and drives, however, are amazing. The weight and the stiffness allows me to turn the shuttle straight of close to the net from off the opponent's attack. It's fairly easy to get it right, but having the lifts being nerfed really puts down the array of shots.

Control:
I do notice that I make more unforced areas with the 3U than the 4U. The extra weight adds to the forehands and takes away from the backhand, and it's resulted in a few unfortunate misjudges in clears.

The boost to forehand shots means I can throw out drop shots and drives quickly. The stiffness and the heaviness of the Yonex Voltric Z-Force II LCW allows me to apply more slice to the shuttle and still getting it across. Off the net, the stiffness really helps me judge the tight net shots.

The tradeoff, as I have mentioned before, is the backhand. I've grown lazy and the lack of speed moving back court has made me a rather competent backhand user. However, the Z-Force II LCW, with it's super stiff shaft and no flex, takes the power of my backhand down a few notches. What used to be a back-to-back court straight clear would constantly end up in the third quarter of half of the court.

Add the smaller head frame into the mix, and you've got yourself a very technique-heavy racket. I've going to have to give this guy a lot more wrist time before I'm able to pull off the backhands.

Attack:
The attacks that come off this racket blew my mind off. My doubt from the 3U racket was resolved with the Z-Force II LCW, and if not for the sweet paintjob I'd be using the in doubles more often.

The 3U racket gives me a great boost when it comes to attack. When given the chance to really boot it, the shuttles that come from the Voltric Z-Force II LCW are nearly unstoppable. When you hit that sweet spot and can feel the shuttle stretch the string bed and shaft before being thrown full-force onto your opponent's side, it's awesome.

Drives really shine as well. The straight shots carry a lot of speed and I can't stress enough how important the fast exchanges have become in tournament play. It forces the opponent into a defensive stance without much time to think of the next shot.

The Yonex Voltric Z-Force II Lee Chong Wei delivers very well on the offence, but one you might want to remember is the lack of speed in defense. Put too much momentum into a normal attack (as opposed to a winner) may result in your failure to recover well should the opponent mange to return it.

Looks:
While not a manly color like navy blue or tough black, dark pink exerts a certain professionalism to the racket and its user. The loud color contrast of the Z-Force II LCW gives one the impression that the user knows his game. Made for the World Number One Lee Chong Wei, the royal combinations pays homage to his dominance of the number one spot in the game.  Alluring, courageous, and downright asking to be seen.

Yonex Voltric Z-Force

Badminton Racket Review: Yonex Voltric Z-Force

This is the big one. I've never seen a racket sell so well and garner so much attention. So much so that I've been tempted into buying one to try it out for myself and even wrote multiple entries for it here.

The Yonex Voltric Z-Force is the badminton giant's latest attempt to tap on the Asian market's delight for fire power. Boasting a 19KGf smash force on your opponent's racket, the dedicated website for the VTZF even has testimonials from the Malaysian Nationals about how they couldn't resist its temptation.

I knew there was something about the new racket when I noticed World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei adopt an extremely offensive style of play leading to its release at the Yonex All England, and I was proven right when the 10 rackets my stringer got in disappeared in a matter of 4 hours.

Suddenly the badminton world is ablaze about the marvels of Yonex's new haymaker.

But I have other ideas. Not every foot fits in this Cinderella shoe, and this here is one of them.

This review is from my opinions of the racket and of the game of badminton. Take this with a pinch of salt, but feel free to ask me if you have any more questions that my review failed to answer.

Ok, here goes.

Yonex Voltric Z-Force
Est. Dry Weight: 84g (4U)
Grip Size: G5
Balance: Extremely Head-Heavy
Max String: 26lbs
Flex: Stiff
Strings: Yonex BG66 Ultimax @ 24lbs

I use this racket for singles play.

Defense
As expected given its extreme weight distribution, the racket leaves much to be desired when it comes to defense. The slightly smaller head frame and the weight takes your defense down a notch off the get-go, but once you get used to it the extra weight down the front will end up giving you better returns.

But when it comes to defense, I'm not one to make a game of chance out of it. I'd rather be able to take a beating than give one, and the Yonex Voltric Z-Force doesn't give me a good defensive game.

Clearing from end to end is effortless given the balance, but the loss of control leaves more to be desired as I had to mentally calm myself into making safer shots.

Attack
The Yonex Voltric Z-Force feels like a VT80 on steroids. They didn't increase the weight of the racket much, but boy did they perform an overhaul on the weight distribution! Pushing most of the weight into the head frame made this racket extremely head-heavy.

I'd go as far as to say it's pretty much feels like an 80/20 balance.

The result being a very forceful downward stroke. People with a further downswing on the follow-through should watch their swing lest it starts to drill a hole into the net (or ground!).

With that domineering allocation of weight also comes, in a my opinion, a slightly flexible shaft. This gives drive shots and check smashes a whole lot of power as you which the racket to give you an added boost to speed.

This is one amazing racket to attack with, especially if you like to use the wrist to get it that surprise attack.

Control
But all that speed and power comes at a price of control. You're going to need more concentration to keep that shuttle in play. Feedback from the strings feel lost because of the lower density coming down the shaft.

It didn't feel right hitting the shuttle and I couldn't feel the path of the shuttle as well after it leaves my string bed.

People who like that half smash-fast drop will also find that the shots are taken down a lot steeper than with previous rackets, another resultant effect of top-loading the Voltric Z-Force to hell. I'd push a little more forward than downwards with this racket.

Prepare to lose a few points to control till you get the hang of it.

Looks
Weird, is what I said when I first saw the racket. Yonex went off and removed the shiny coating from their rackets, replacing it with a smooth, matt layer that's often accompanied with shoddy finishing.

The distinctive tattoo markings on a Voltric was also diminished, overshadowed by sharp lines that perhaps reflected the company's focus on delivering a devastating downward stroke.

Green, white and black were primary colors of the Yonex Voltric Z-Force, which in my opinion was a good change away from the angrier colors employed in the VT70 and VT80.

Overall, it's pleasing to the eye if you can get past the inevitable bad finishing.
