I tried the Arc Saber 10 today! Wow, this thing feels great. The first few minutes of using it was odd because my hits and stuff were off but after a while I started to get used to it and started hitting it porperly. On my first power smash, bang this thign is very solid. I have to say that the control on this racket is better than the Arc7 and the power as well since it does feel a bit head heavier. I did not have enough test time but I will tonight. After a few games, I switched back to my Arc7 playing, still good ^.^
I forgot to add that the racket does definately feels that it can cut-through the air better compare to Arc7.
Can someone post picture of their Arc10 with different color string? I only saw it with red string so far.

MC Wu, the organiser of my club has two of them already.. I dont know how he got them in NewZealand. He probably ordered it online.
Played a bit with the ARC10 today, it's faster defensively than my ARC7, but it could be because my ARC7 is 2UG5 and ARC10 is 3UG5... Feel pretty comfortable playing with it, I think I'll stick with the ARC10 for awhile as it's a pretty well rounded racket.
What are the dimensions of the ArcSaber 10's X-section, width and height in mm, at the 12 o'clock, 1.30 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 5.30 o'clock, and 6 o'clock across the T joint? The width and height of these dimensions can tell you how maneuverable and fast a racquet is. If in addition to a slim x-section, it also has great power, then it can also give you an idea of the effective young's modulus of the materials used in the racquet. Effective young's modulus is seldom the same as the materials' young's modulus, due to the limitations of fiber/resin ratio mixture. For example the young's modulus of uhmg is extremely high, but it is rather low when used in badminton racquets.
Sounds like someone did too much chemical engineering ...yeah its sad i actually understood what he said
