I've been playing with my arc10 for about a month now, and it performs like a dream.

But I've noticed that the white paint on it and only the white paint, chips REALLY easily. After even minor collisions the paint chips. I've already got two tiny chips off the white part of it and I don't even know how they happened - it hasn't fallen, or dropped, or clashed with another racket in doubles at all...

the paint isn't as durable as you'd expect, my arc 10 has random tiny nicks on the white part that don't look like it's from clashes too!

Most rackets will have chips then you have clashes.. if Minor ones.. not so. Except if you are lucky enuffs to have a big clash but no chips on your racket..
