Voltric Force: the stiff, Taiwan-made VT-F often mixed up with the Z-Force
Yonex’s Voltric Force, not the catalog’s VTF
Yonex’s 2015 UK brochure gives the Voltric Force’s item code as VT-F and Yonex UK’s product page gives it as VTF, which invites a mix-up. This catalog’s VTF page is the original Voltric Z-Force of 2012, which Yonex itself coded VTZF, and retailers write both racquets as “VTF.” They are different frames. The Z-Force was made in Japan, extra stiff and sold in 3U and 4U; the Voltric Force is a black, Taiwan-made 4U racquet that Yonex rated stiff. Yonex added to the tangle twice. On Yonex’s international site the Force frame first appeared in dark pink, in Lee Chong Wei’s limited-edition gear of August 2014, months before the black standard model was listed. And Yonex’s own report of the 2017 Asia Championships linked Lin Dan’s Voltric LD-Force to the Voltric Force’s page.
What Yonex listed
Yonex summed it up as a “compact frame with TRI-iBUMPER for devastating smash power”; TRI-iBUMPER is Yonex’s name for its tungsten-infused grommets. The 2015 brochure lists a high-modulus graphite and tungsten frame, a high-modulus graphite shaft, Yonex’s “10mm Long” length, the Tri-Voltage System and a built-in T-joint (the “new” built-in T-joint was reserved for the Z-Force II and the two E-tunes). It gives 4U (average 83 g) with grip 4 and black as the only color; Yonex USA’s page offered grip 4 or 5. Yonex recommends stringing it at 20–27 lb, a higher range than the 19–24 lb it gives the Voltric 7, 5 and 1. On the brochure’s style-of-play map it sits high in the head-heavy half, level with the Voltric 55 and just below the Z-Force II and the 80 E-tune. Retailers describe it as based on the Z-Force II; Yonex never did, though its 2015 stringing instructions put the two in the same group.
No player on record
Yonex’s tournament reports and staff pages name no player on the Voltric Force. Its pink edition carried Lee Chong Wei’s initials in its name, but Yonex’s August 2014 announcement of his limited gear named his racquet as the Voltric Z-Force II LCW, and no Yonex source shows him playing the Force LCW. The one Yonex report that links to the Force’s page, from the 2017 Asia Championships, is a mislink: the racquet it names for Lin Dan is the Voltric LD-Force, a different, Japan-made frame.
The black standard and its pink edition
From August 2014 Yonex’s international site listed a dark pink Voltric Force LCW (item VTFLCW), with the standard Force’s stiff, high-modulus graphite specification, in Lee Chong Wei’s limited-edition gear; it has its own page. The black standard model is absent from Yonex’s Voltric list of September 17 and December 31, 2014 and present on January 30, 2015; the list of May 2015 shows it between the 50 NEO and the Voltric 7. The other two pink racquets, the Voltric 1 LCW and the Z-Force II LCW, have their own pages too.
An export model, listed for five years
Yonex published no release announcement for the Voltric Force, and a US retailer labeled it new in April 2015. It never appeared on Yonex Japan’s racquet list, so it was an export model. Yonex UK listed ten Voltrics in 2015: five made in Japan (the Z-Force II, the two E-tunes, the i-Force and the Voltric 55), the Force, 7, 5 and 1 made in Taiwan, and the Voltric 0 in China. Of the four Taiwan-made models only the Force was rated stiff; the 7 and 5 are medium and the 1 flexible. Yonex’s 2017 European catalog no longer showed it, but Yonex USA kept it on its Voltric list through July 13, 2020, the last capture of its old site. No verified sales are recorded yet. Its interest for collectors is as the stiff, Taiwan-made member of the Z-Force II-era range, and as the black twin of a Lee Chong Wei edition.
Three racquets called “VTF”
No counterfeit of this model is documented. The practical risk is buying the wrong racquet under a shortened name: listings often shorten both the Voltric Force and the original Voltric Z-Force to “VTF,” and Yonex’s own 2017 mislink shows how easily the Lin Dan LD-Force joins the confusion. Origin separates them quickly: the Z-Force and the LD-Force are Japan-made, the Voltric Force and its pink LCW twin Taiwan-made. Counterfeit Yonex racquets in general are common enough that Yonex publishes its own guidance on spotting them, and its checks apply here.
The Taiwan-made Voltric that lasted
The Voltric Force outlasted the rest of its 2015 Taiwan-made range on Yonex USA’s list. By July 2020 the Voltric 7, 5 and 1 were gone, and the Force sat beside the Z-Force II, the GlanZ, the FB, the 8 E-tune, the 1 TR, the 0 F, the Lite and the four DG models. Yonex USA’s page grouped it with the Japan-made i-Force and the 50 NEO as related products.
Read the name and code first: VOLTRIC FORCE, Yonex item code VT-F in its brochure and VTF on its UK web page, black, made in Taiwan. Yonex listed it only in 4U (average 83 g), with grip 4 or 5 on Yonex USA’s page and grip 4 in the UK. Yonex recommends 20–27 lb. A dark pink frame with the same specification is the Voltric Force LCW (item VTFLCW), which has its own page. A Japan marking or a 3U label means a Z-Force instead: bright green for the original Voltric Z-Force (VTZF), black for the standard Z-Force II (VTZF2). The Voltric FB of 2017 is a different, lightweight Japan-made model. Yonex’s own checks apply: a laser-engraved code on the cone and a hologram sticker that resists lifting.
A stiff, head-heavy, Taiwan-made Voltric from the Z-Force II years. Confirm the Voltric Force name and the Taiwan origin before paying, since a listing that says only “VTF” may mean the 2012 Z-Force. The pink LCW version (VTFLCW), listed on Yonex’s international site, is not a racquet Lee Chong Wei is documented using; it has its own page. Ask for daylight photographs of the head, the T-joint and the cone, and look for cracks and repainting.
