WHY ?

for lovers of arc10, to show their love for the racket

Don't worry..ppl will come n post their pics..

Is it true that the "ArcSaber" logo is only printed on one side of an original ArcSaber bag for the Arc 7 or 10 and the other side only says "Yonex"?

Excuse me for the question above, however, I have not seen the real thing.

since this is the arcsaber 10 thread ( i really love mine). i just got some bg70pro string and looking to putting it on once i find a shop. now what do you guys recommend the tension would be for this string? i like having control, and smash and everything. is 23 too much for the racket? it says 22 is the highest it goes.

I think it says 24 is the highest on the racquet. Anyhow, I know many guys out there are having theirs strung at 26 or above.

i see people on this forum stringing their AS10 up to 30lbs with no problem.. mine is strung at 25x27.5 lbs using BG-80.. if you haven't played with a high tension racquet then i would recommend starting at 24lbs on this racquet then you can go higher in tension when you re-string your racquet and feel the difference for yourself

After continuing my life with ArcSaber 7 for a while, today I picked the Arc10 again. I used it for barely one minute and dropped it.

Indeed...it is HEAVIER !

I just wonder one thing. Why people would go for high tension? Is it like a custom? " Those who use high tension = good?" I mean like, if the tension is too high, bad techniques would injure the player. SHouldn't ppl start around 20-22 at start and slowly progress?

I've seen many ppl going like " ohhh I'm using 26-30 tension!!" and they can't even draw power from it...I'm personally using 24 where a year ago, I was still at 20...and I dont plan on going more than that for a while.

Well... it is indeed heavier than Arc 7, but... compare to AT-700, it is too light. Head heavy is subjective...

People don't go for high tension because of custom. At high tension, net play won't be so bumpy, so you have better control on your shuttle. At high tension, the replusion is less but your shuttle travels faster. At lower tension, the replusion is high; you use less strength to propel the shuttle farther, but... the speed is slower. Especially when you are smashing, you would prefer your shuttle to travel at 300 Km/hr, if possible.

Slowly progress? :D I did. I started 1979 and slowly progressed till today...

Subjective again. Weather, humility, racket type, string type and your body consitution.... every factor plays a part.

The main factor is racket type. For most rackets, you can easily feel power at 24 LBS. But.... for Arc Saber 10, 26LBS x 26LBS BG66 seems to be the minimum to have adequate power in tropical countries. In colder countries with lower humility and different air dragging... you will have to determine the adequate tension best for your arms and wrists....

Thanks.

so does that mean for the arcsaber to be used with vectran strings u need minimum 25?

Try to wield an Arc Saber 10 that is being strung at 26LBS x 26LBS (electronic constant pull), you will feel the great difference. At 24LBS... well... less power.

Both my Arc Saber 10 was previously strung at 28LBS x 28LBS. Lately, I strung them at 26LB x 26LBS...

Thanks.

But are you talking about plastic or feather? I think that makes a huge difference.

icic.. thanks for the reply!!

Just purchased one a week ago. I won't be able to test it out until tommorow though :(. I've been patiently waiting, since I only have 2 days of badminton a week, for now.

I tested it out as soon as I got it. According to my seller, it is strung at 24/23LBS, with Nanogy95 strings(I love these strings, Just started using them, great durability, great repulsion). Already by just hitting a birdy off the wall with the racquet, I feel that it is much lighter and faster than my pervious racquet, the AT150. Right now, I'm trying to see what kind of racqeut would be better for my kind of play, either a Head-heavy racquet or a even-balanced one. I'll post a pic and what I think about it, when I go to try it out in game tommorow. I seriously love the design on the racquet, the red grip goes well with the rest of the racquet. But from reading in the forums, I heard it will wear out extremely fast :(.

Just my thoughts so far...

Hi,

I have just bought the Arcsaber 10 today. I use BG66 strung at 25lbs. After 2 games, I notice a small paint chip attached to one grommet near 7 o'clock direction :( What could be the cause? Miss hit or stringer's fault? Would this cause any problems (maybe racket easier to crack or break)? If it is stringer's fault, can I get an exchange from the store I buy (bought and strung at the same store)? Sorry if the questions asked are silly :)

Just gotten my ARC10 strung with BG68Ti at 23 X 24lb.

played for 15mins trial & the control was good. has a good weight on the head as compared to my MP Limited which was too light for me. Repulsion feel on the BG68Ti can be felt nicely.

it's definitely lighter that my AT500 but generating equal amount of strength in smashes & drives. I'm beginning to like it. :D

Hi, have a few questions abt AS10 (sorry if it sounds silly):

1) is it a head heavy racket?
2) is the shaft stiff or flexible?
3) if BG 66 with tension of 22 works well for me with a NS9000S, what would the correspnding tension to try for in AS 10?

Thanks :D

No, but... feel heavy.

2) is the shaft stiff or flexible?

Supposed to be stiff, but... frankly speaking.. the feel is flexible.

3) if BG 66 with tension of 22 works well for me with a NS9000S, what would the correspnding tension to try for in AS 10?

Very difficult to answer, you will have to string the same tension on Arc Saber 10 for a start, thereby adding 1 LB each time you restring.

I prefer 28 x 28 LBS, electronic constant pull, but... to others they may prefer 24 x 24LBS.

Well... on the Arc Saber, you can easily string 2LBS above your normal tension. For eg., if you were to be playing at 26 x 26LBS on other rackets, you will feel the same with 28 x 28LBS on a Arc Saber 10...

Thanks.

could you post a pic of the lead tape attached to the racquet frame pls?

When you get used to the racket, you don't need any lead tape in order to generate power strokes.

Thanks.

I noticed a trend of people putting lead tapes to their Arcsaber 10s.

Shouldn't it be easier if they switched to the Armortecs, if they prefer head heavy balance. Saves cost of buying lead tapes.

Tempted me to add lead tapes to my AT900 power to get ultra head heavy balance. :D

Well... before Arc Saber 10, I was wielding the AT-700....

I put on the lead tapes for 1 month... and after that.... no more lead tapes.... you can generate smashes that is as powerful as the AT-700....

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Your answer seems to confirm what I have found; it seems what is listed on the yonex website is not exactly what the comments I read about players' impression of the racket; for eg it is listed as "stiff" but I have seen poeple's comments that it feels actually flexible; I guess the feeling is subjective as what might be stiff to some may be flexible to others...
Makes me want to get one to try it out myself :)

i had a 2hrs session. Started 1hr with the At500, an hour with the ARC10.

The flex on the ARC10 feels more like it's the agility of the ARC than flex.
anyone else shared the same feeling? :confused:
my 2cents.

uhh, i love arc saber 10:)

It's good to have at least another of the same racket in the bag so you can continue your game even when the main racket becomes unplayable for whatever reason.

Nanogy98 sounds nice. i may give that a try once my 65Ti snapped. the tension is beginning to slacken & yesterday's game was obvious. :(

Yes, I didnt regret using it. But I think, maybe 28lbs would be better.

Agree ....... It do feel better on 28lbs
