played with the 10 again last night, and like most people, i can't get enough of it. even though i was half dead, i just wanted to play more. the control of it just gets better with each match; smashes feels more solid and the sound it just awesome and drops from the back, especially the cross courts, are accurate and tight - something i can't really do with the 900P now a colleague of mine wants to buy one, and one still with a ?? I LOVE IT!!
I like the 7 more for double... I think the 7 is faster. (note: please don't give me those x-sec crap again)
So is it definitely a good upgrade from Acr 7 at extra $30 bucks? I liked the medium flex of Arc 7 and even balance, but it sounds like Arc 10 has better review at little more $. so tempting...
Crap? You should take a look at what Yonex says about why fast swing speed in a badminton racquet requires slim frame dimensions. Pls refer to Yonex T joint patent 7211010 by visiting www. patentstorm.us/patents/7211010-description.html. Although Tonex says we are not quite there yet about designing a racquet with extremely slim x-section with durabilty, I think we are already there.
We are discussing about ArcSaber 10 being faster than the AT900 P, which many owners seem to agree. I am saying that if true then it is due to the ArcSaber 10's slimmer x-section. Yes, the topic is about ArcSaber 10, but that does not mean any post here must have the word ArcSaber 10. If so, then nothing gets discussed in depth here. Doesn't it satisfy your curiousity to find out the reason for its faster speed and better maneuverability?
The other way is to start a new thread to continue the technical discussion with a link to this thread.
Yes, you are right, if there is more interest in what makes a fast racquet. BTW, the patent I referred to was not Yonex's. Yonex's T joint patent is US patent 4575084 and UK's EP1388354.
AT-900P, 3UG4, 65Ti@25lbs AS-10, 2UG5, NBG95@26lbs i felt AS-10 outperformed AT-900P in every aspects except AT-900P was more stable. even baseline smash was awesome. what a beast! if u want to make ur opponents's legs shake in their shoes, go for 2U AS-10!!
I was going to ask if anyone has used a 2U ARC10. You made a good choice by choosing the 2U version. Anyone else have tried 2U version?
I purchased a 2U Arc-10 (strung with BG85@25lb) a few days ago. I haven't been able to play with it much (will definitely log a lot more hours in the coming week), but my initial impressions are: o This thing is heavy! I definitely need to get used to a 'faster' hit timing o Drives, clears (backhand as well) and smashes all have a lot more power, but this could be attributed to using a 2U racket (My AT-700/900s are 4Us) Hopefully I can adjust to the heavier racket and won't regret that I got a 2U instead of a 3U! It definitely plays like a different racket than what I've been using (the 900P), and I will update everyone with a more detailed analysis in the future~
Its not easy to change from 4U to 2U. its easier from 3U to 2U. Take your time to adapt the playability of a 2U racket.
hey guys im planning to buy an Arc saber 10 just wondering which string would be best for me if im an offensive player? BG 66 or BG 80? Ive read thru many postings n even my supplier told me that BG 80 works well with high tension but my previous racket i strung it at 25 lbs with BG 65 n my shoulder hurts this is because i just started badminton 2 weeks ago and im loving it so i would like to upgrade to this cool racket, and i restrung my previous racket to a BG 66 at 24lbs which i think its great!
