    Any one has paint chips on their arc saber?
    or find the quality of the arc saber quite bad?

    Actually...I find the paint job on Arc 10 is quite bad. I found holes on the frame top....for some reason.....no clash or anything....

    well for me it varies because im on my 2nd one now. the 1st 1 chipped really easily like if i framed the shot a chip of paint would come off. But so far i only have one paint chip but that was because of a pretty big clash.

    well... for me it is consider a very good quality of part and finishing.
    had a big clash, but only small paint chip.

    My first arcsaber had a chip @ the carbon nano tube after trying it out the first time.

    My second, has a small red paint chip near the 6 O clock mach.

    Is it me, or does the arc saber has "small holes" or "craters" on the frame itself? but they are painted over with paint?

    just a quick question, what is the balance of the racket? in 3UG4 trim. if there is a page in this thread that already states that, could someone tell me the page please? thanks.

    it's subjective. it's flex yet stiff..
    8 out of 10.

    Were you scooping shuttles off the ground using your racket?

    Arc 7/10 seems to be a strong replacement for the much beloved MP series..

    What's your playing style?

    From the sound of you using a MP, i don't think that the arcs are suited to your smashing playing method.

    Alexkho,

    I am a super strong believer that a few hits give feedback muahhahhhaha! j/k

    Yeah, people need to use the racket for a little while for it to go through the break-in peroid before they notice how the racket actually performs. I remember this for my ARC7 where I played it for the first hour and didn't like it because it felt like there was not any power comming out of it even thou there was very good control. After a while during the second hour, the power began to come in then I started to like the racket.

    I liked the Arcsaber after my first encounter using it. One can actually tell @ the first few shots that, hey, this is not the right racket for you.

    It might be due to my playing style being so similar to what the arc is meant to serve for and i fell in love with it at first sight

    at first it doesnt give much satisfaction of hitting...
    after i use it for 1 week
    the feeling is much better...

    it gives hard and controlled shots....

    at first, it felt as though there were alot of vibrations. quite bad..after that, much of them were gone and it plays real well
