Voltric 70
Model VT-70
Where to find it
The Voltric everyone could afford: Voltric 70
The accessible Tri-Voltage argument
The Voltric 70 occupied the accessible end of the Voltric lineup — below the Z-Force and VT-80 in price and specification, but carrying the full Tri-Voltage System architecture that defined the series. Released in 2010, the VT-70 offered medium flex, head-heavy balance, and the signature Sound Filters at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions that reduced unwanted vibration while maintaining the Voltric's characteristic impact crack on clean smashes.
What Badminton Research found
Badminton Research described the VT-70 as occupying 'the best possible balance for fast flat play, solid feel and hard smashes' — high praise for a mid-tier offering. The 4U version at approximately 290mm balance was comfortable for singles use, making it one of the more versatile Voltric models at a time when the Z-Force and VT-80 were almost exclusively singles weapons. Ultra PEF shaft, Built-in T-Joint, Control Support Cap — the full Voltric technical complement in an accessible package.
An approachable entry
At $200, the VT-70 is the most affordable Japan-made Voltric piece with the full Tri-Voltage System in the database. Available in 3U and 4U, it ran from 2010 to 2018 — a long enough production life to have been a serious club player's racquet rather than a collector target. That changes as the Voltric series recedes from active use. Clean, unstrung Japan-made VT-70 examples are the most accessible entry into Voltric-series collecting.
Full Tri-Voltage System designation on frame or documentation. Sound Filter at 10 and 2 o'clock positions. Ultra PEF shaft. Medium flex — softer than the VT-80 or Z-Force. Head-heavy balance ~290mm. Made in Japan. Standard Yonex hologram. 3U/4U.
Approachable entry into Japan-made Voltric collecting. Appreciation will track the general Voltric collector tier as active club play decreases. Best acquired unstrung in original packaging.
