What does the Z in ArcSaber Z stand for?

[7SamuraiX]

just for fun i decided to wonder on what the Z in arcsaber z stands for

Here is my theory
Z is the last letter of the english alphabet.
As such, it can cary many meanings
As the last of the arcsaber line (possibly) it could be the most powerful?

Also, Z could mean Zeta from Z Gundam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Gundam

Feel free to tell us ur own theories

Z is the last letter of the english alphabet.
the last model for Arc Saber series. :p

Zorro slash!

[val_tamse]

could it be ZEBRA?:D:D:D

[MetalOrange]

It's a new beginning for the slim and narrow(er) ISO head. It may be the last alphabet, but just look at Z-Slash or ZS...there could be ZX, Z1, etc.

[dorysan]

zero
for the beginning of new rackets age

Catherine Zeta- Jones?

[ctjcad]

(taken from wikipedia):

"The name of the Semitic symbol was zayin, possibly meaning "weapon" , and was the seventh letter. It represented either z as in English and French, or possibly more like /dz/ (as in Italian zeta, zero)."

Catherine Zeta- Jones?
..that is certainly Greek..;)

"The Greek form of Z was a close copy of the Phoenician symbol I, and the Greek inscriptional form remained in this shape throughout ancient times. The Greeks called it Zeta, a new name made in imitation of Eta (η) and Theta (θ).

I thank you for the Greek lessen. I have not use these symbols for over 10 years since my grad school...

i usually find sailormoons hot, but in that picture........ :(

[what07]

The Z stands for zero. Which relates to Wing Zero from Gundam not zeta ;)

[b.leung]

originally the design guys named it "arcsaber zero-air-resistance slash" but the guys at marketing decided z-slash is better
and then the design guys, trying to get back at the marketing guys, made the racket look like a clown (black, yellow, white, and red)
so that's how the z-slash was born into the badminton world

true story

[LD rules!]

There is already a yonex racket called "Zeta"
The yonex isometric "zeta" us finished in yellow and black pretty much like the z slash, except it doesn't have the red colour on it.
The isometric series would seem to be where yonex test there colour schemes for example the previous isometric racket (I think iso22jr) was finished in silver and yellow/gold (like the Arc7) and this year the ISO zeta is finished in yellow and black (like the z slash) so I have came to the conclusion that the colour on the next isometric model, will be similar to the next high end rackets colour

Just a thought:cool:

[Zabee]

when they gonna name it Exia Double O or what so ever that links to Gundam OO ??? :D:D:D

[what07]

Yonex double O raiser!!!! :)

[Zabee]

what happen Seravee eh ?? :D:D or D slash hahHha ( d for Dyames )

[what07]

Seravee Gundam = Yonex S slash (Big Box frame)
Cherudim Gundam = Yonex C slash (super long frame)
Arios Gundam = Yonex A slash (super aero frame)

'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz'....:D:D:D

[ryim_]

it stands for.....ZODIAC :P

[T-maker]

actually...

insider's information ( top secret )..

YY stumbled on a 'secret' method after tons and tons of R&D to keep producing new models at practically 'ZERO' cost,which is actually the same for all range and so on.

so,it's all in the mind that we were tricked by all their marketing 'jargon' - Ti,Nano,nono,,nino,nina el-nino..:cool:

so,Yonex decided to duped all baddies one more time and to make it sweeter for them, they decided to add salt to our wounds....

" hey, a new 'range' of racquets" and i marked them with the CODE !! Z =zero..

ZERO COST... and they walk all the way to the bank laughing !!!:D:D:D

Sounds like a finishing move of a streetfighter/KOF genre arcade games. :D

Z-Slash: →↓↘ + LP/MP/HP

Jump+HP to standing MP to Z-slash = 3 hit combo

No need to hog, you can still play it in X-box/playstation....other consoles

Playing in arcade invites a lot of challengers if you are good...there's even a tournament of streetfighter games in Japan.

Ultra Z-Slash = →↓↘→↓↘ + LP +MP+HP = 99 hit combo.
