Player who already tried Z force 2 or any head heavy racket will feel some power loss when try to hit shuttle deep in the court. Duora 10 is not head heavy. You need to put extra power to clear the shuttle while on smash it is difficult to manage the power as compared to Voltric series of racket. With comparison to Nanoray Z speed , hitting power in good enough to dominate opponent.
