    I think the red one looks better, but it's still too bright for my liking. I really do wish Yonex would take a page or two from Adidas' racket designs.

    For me, I thing the colour seem nice,and elegant. Have class, as it is gold and black and metal color.
    It the price is spec is similar to the Arc 11. I think I would get 1, as I already plan to get Arc 11, but just couldnt get after going to a few place, and not to mention it is a limited edition.

    Although I didn't get to play with the Arc11, I did had a chance to swing around with the racket today. It felt really nice.

    Yup. Considering that i have an arc11 and i quite like the easy handling if it, i would most probably be buying a 2ug4 and maybe a 3ug4.

    Anyone know if they are releasing the Arc 11 TH in 3U G6 since this is Taufiks set up?
    Peter Gades 4U G4 VT80PG was more easily obtainable.

    Taufik have small hands? G6 is pretty small dude and I have small hands. I wouldn't be able to handle G6. G5 fits me perfectly.

    That's further evidence that non of the commercial rackets are in any way specked the same as the ones the pros use and in turn promoted by the manufacturers.

    Like wanting a rally car from the WRC and heavily promoted by Subaru or Mitsubishi but the retail version is not even close!

    Shame...

    "The pro's"? :D, imo at best it's the poster boys that (may) have some custom versions. It's not exactly difficult to put a G6 handle on instead of a G5 :rolleyes: (even more so because they already carry G6 in other models).

    That said 4UG4 is a normal commercial spec for VT80 so it's not exactly surprising to find it in the market. A 3UG6 ARC11 on the other hand is not a normal spec and I would not expect it to be released as such either ...

    g6 is extremely small... taufik doesnt look like he has small hands! or unless with that grip size he can give the most power?

    My point of view. Arc 11 is for control and accuracy. Power is much losing to VT80, VT80 is stiff, ideally it is good for power, accuracy depends how good you handle with your racket.

    pretty different rackets, if you like the one, you probably wont like the other.
