View Full Version : Ashaway LifeSaber 10 VS Arcsaber 10 (Yonex) nipoy 02-04-2009, 10:16 AM Anyone ever tried the Ashaway Lifesaber 10. Haven't tried it, but heard of it. It's actually the Yonex ArcSaber 10 clone by Ashaway so they say. It's quite cheap but I'm wondering how similar is it to ARC10. Need a hand here, please post your comments. thanks Sketchy 02-04-2009, 10:35 AM LifeSaber? Never heard of it - sure you don't mean Ashaway ArchBlade? http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/4681/photo018xw9.jpg http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/9563/photo019lv4.jpg http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1221/photo021sv7.jpg http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/7162/photo026hv0.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/7002/photo027hc0.jpg mhigham 02-04-2009, 01:48 PM Sketchy - have you come across these (i.e. are they your pics)? If so where about? Cheers Mark Sketchy 02-04-2009, 03:29 PM Nope. Just searched on google and that's what came up. There's also an ArchBlade 10(?) which I think is meant to be a clone of the ArcSaber 7. No idea if they're legit. nipoy 02-04-2009, 08:37 PM OMG... so the LifeSaber I saw was a fake? but the one using it was the authorized dealer of ashaway in our country. Could it be an asian version? How much is this ArchBlade BTW. mhigham 02-05-2009, 06:19 AM If anyone knows where these can be bought I'd be very interested in finding out. Cheers Mark Sketchy 02-05-2009, 06:26 AM Well, this guy said he paid $75 in Singapore: http://lienpangren.blogspot.com/2009/01/archblade-80.html Anyone from Singapore able to confirm if Gala Sports in Queensway Shopping Centre is a reputable dealer? Maybe they changed the name - either this is newer/older, or the name change is regional? I really don't know - you made me curious, so I googled it. I've never actually seen the racket. I guess you could always try contacting Ashaway - details are bound to be on their uk website. They should be able to clear the whole thing up. hoodlum 02-05-2009, 10:09 PM http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=89072&page=174 According to above link.. it is called arcblade 80 (AS 10 clone) and arcblade 70 (AS 7).. also sold at the Ashaway Distributor at Ubi.. refer to pg 1 of tt thread for address.. as for the price of 75 at Gala sports.. seems decent with the racket, string, grip n bag.. arkanick 02-12-2009, 05:00 AM Well, this guy said he paid $75 in Singapore: http://lienpangren.blogspot.com/2009/01/archblade-80.html Anyone from Singapore able to confirm if Gala Sports in Queensway Shopping Centre is a reputable dealer?

Stringing of rackets quite efficient too:) mhigham 02-12-2009, 05:51 AM is anyone close to Gala sports that if they were nearby could check that they have these rackets? Pleeeeeeeease:) teoky 02-12-2009, 04:10 PM is anyone close to Gala sports that if they were nearby could check that they have these rackets? Pleeeeeeeease:) If Gala doesn't have it or ran out of stock, other shops in Queensway will have it. mhigham 02-12-2009, 05:57 PM I really want to get my hands on one of these rackets, but this seems to be the only place that sells them. Ultimately I'm hoping someone local can buy & post the racket to me.. for handsome compensation :) |
