Interesting comments here. I didn’t have a single issue with this racquet – not a single mis-timing problem at all, otherwise I would have mentioned it.

For me the racquet played like a normal racquet in terms of timing and yet was just better all over. The only issue with me was that I really wanted to test the racquet again with better string tension. I’ll get that chance tomorrow! Can’t wait.

I’d love to be using it this weekend during my residential coaching weekend. However, there is a queue from players and coaches alike waiting to get their hands on it.

My retailer contact is letting me have all of their Voltric stock for the weekend, in case anyone wants to buy one. I can’t believe how generous they’ve been.

We should also bear in mind these racquets may soon be in very short supply because of the Tsunami in Japan. I expect there are going to be severe delays with shipments because of the terrible situation in Japan.

The Z Slash for me was a different animal. It was unforgiving. Just when you think you’ve got it right, you go for a big hit and mis-time the shot – very frustrating. I’ve never experienced that before. Usually I can get accustomed to a racquet within a few shots.

Hi Ed

We now have 4 models in Voltric range. Bearing in mind three have only recently been released and VT70 was released end November 2010, it’s too early to expect any more, especially with the tragic events in Japan.

There is going to be a degree of re-building and nobody knows at the moment how this will impact on racquet development.

Let’s be happy with what we’ve got. If you want to support Yonex at the moment, the best way is to purchase something.

In the short term, we don’t know how supplies will be affected. After all, Yonex manufactures in a number of countries. So basically, it’s just too early to tell how the world supply of Yonex goods will be affected.
