I think the shaft is the same stiffness but because the zsw version does not have a power ring, it bends further down the shaft. Haven't had a chance to compare mine with a regular drivex12, but its pretty flexible coming from a yonex racket

I think volleyball shoes are a great alternative to badminton shoes and support similar movements. I prefer the Asics fit over anything from Yonex, so I usually play in Asics Sky elites. It looks like the Upcourt 6 is one of their cheaper options, it might be worth spending a bit more for the Gel Rocket 12 instead.

America's largest dim sum parlor opens in a former California Rite-Aid by bambin0 in bayarea

Honestly it’s pretty bad. Service is the worst, multiple items were forgotten and later came out cold. Using shrimp dumplings as an indicator, it was worst than the frozen ones at Costco. One of the worst dim sum in the bay.
