Check out the Expert Review of the Yonex Voltric ZForce 2 badminton racket.
What makes the Voltric ZForce 2 badminton racket unique? It is one of the first badminton rackets with an ultra-thin shaft and smaller yet ultra-aerodynamic frame for precise shot-making. Since its introduction in 2014, it has become one of all-time favorite singles badminton rackets from Yonex and is still active in the 2019 Yonex badminton catalog.
For the first time, the new TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racket which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racket handling.
Voltric is Power: The stiff racket structure at the top of the frame allows the head to bend in a very controlled way and hold shuttles on the string bed for longer. The thin frame sides then allow the frame to flex more and transfer more energy to the shuttle. This combination allows you to smash with instant power.
Voltric is Agility: In VOLTRIC, the weight is balanced on the top of the frame and at the joint area which allows good handling while also maintaining power. The thin sides of the frame and at the top of the head reduce air resistance and improve the handling even further. Players can now make a full swing even during short range rallies as VOLTRIC responds instantly to even subtle movements.
Another innovative YONEX technology, Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents, and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play. Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensation from the racket by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.
The ISOMETRIC equalizes the length of the main and crosses strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-center hits.
The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all rackets manufactured in Japan.
The ultra-thin, yet super stiff shaft and ultra-aerodynamic head shape allows the shuttle to be hit with increased power, reducing the deceleration of the shuttle and allowing it to be returned with sustained and ultimate power.
EXTRA SLIM SHAFT - THE THINNEST STRONGEST EVER PRODUCED BY YONEX
Cutting edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-tough, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot.
Tungsten infused grommets maximize the contact time between shuttle and string. This combined with the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM ensures that the frame flexes in a controlled way, holding the shuttle on the string bed for longer, for maximum transfer of power to the shuttle.
Air resistance is minimized by including the tip of the grommet inside the frame, to produce an ultra-smooth, air resistant shape that together with a heavy head delivers a smooth swinging frame with awesome power.
Frame construction provides fast swing and head-heavy balance.
To balance the heavy racket head, the frame has been made smaller to maintain the fast swing demanded by advanced players.
By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racket handling speed is increased.
The AERO + BOX Frame combination delivers the solid hitting feel and quick swing.
‘NEW’ Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from a special lightweight plastic combined with epoxy resin and foaming agent that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.
The NANOMETRIC improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibers taking the racket shaft construction to another level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft to make it 60% thinner than a conventional racket while retaining stiffness, Yonex has created a revolutionary lightweight racket with lightening head speed and control.
NANOMETRIC is the new material that applies the NANOALLOY Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.
The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racket for easier gripping, fast follow-through, and the sharpest maneuverability.
