I got an ARC 7 late last week (and the full range of CP rackets from SOTX), and have been using it a bit this weekend.. I have a slight knee injury so it makes perfect sense to do some racket reviewing, instead of just hard-core training Tested version: Yonex Arcsabre 7, 3UG4, JP , BG80 24x26lbs. My impressions is a little bit different, I think, than Matts.. I don't find the control particulary good.. and the racket feels kind of sluggish for a 3U. I was not impressed at all with the feeling at net. However, I would like to bring out Eepaks old expression "effortless power" under-arm strokes, and pick-ups, drives are EXTREMELY easy.. Actually I can agree sort of with the marketing hype that it kind of "catapults" the shuttle away with minimal effort.. This was very evident when I made shuttle speed test, that the shuttle went significantly further on the speed test than with my AT900P :-D, with the same under-arm stroke.... I found clearing and under-arm strokes from back court was very effortless to hit. Full power smashes where better than I expected after reading Ants review..My inital impression was that it had about the same power as my old NS8K, and far more forgiving. My expereince with the arc 7 was very pleasant, and this brings my hope up for the "next" arc models Summing things up: Feel: 7.5/10 Control: 8/10 Max Power: 8.5/10 Power-assist: 10/10 Defense: 8/10 Great racket for the player who is a little weaker (think women, junior players) I think! I would not expect this to be one of Dinks favourites But its a damn good racket in my view!! /Twobeer
Just let most of you know. I am selling those new US coded Arc7 to US, Canada and Australia members. PM me if you are interested.
Silentheart, how come i can't find your thread on the selling of your arc sabers? =/ Sold them all already?
I think Admin removed it due to the buy and sell policy. PM me if you are interested. The price is $150 USD (frame only) plus whatever s/h to US, Canada or Australia.
SH, You could discuss this with Kwun to see if he will allow it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benny, go JP!
Hi Matt, I have been thinking about this. I think the rule has been set for a reason or reasons. If I ask Kwun to make an exception this time (even I am selling them at my cost for the benifit and saving money for our member). It is still being the rule and there will be more problem in the future. US coded is as good as JP. We just get the "Light Weight" and less selection.:crying: I would like to say sorry to Kwun and Admins for my post in buy and sell forum. I will post items according to the rule in the future. Thanks
For members such as myself and others. No customs issues from overeas! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SH, I love my fabric case and my small grip muahahah!
Twobeer is the new million dollar man. Let's see how he play against the Bionic Woman. I wonder how the entire match is going to be televised on TV. have to be in slow motion I assume?
