    Rather than having an old car, i guess Smichz would still prefer to own rackets...:D

    If you dont mind, can you give a brief comment about Arc10 Red and Arc10 Pre, also about the VT ZF, how is it compared to the Arc10 if it is 4u (as i think you use 3U for all rackets but just give an estimate).

    Arc10 Pre reacts more faster,i don't know why,but feels more solid in overall.When not in play,swinging it feels slightly heavier as well,compared to the A10 red.

    Anyway,there's no 4U Arc10,neither on the Arc10 Premium..Either it's 3U or 2U on red,while on PR,only 3U in most cases.:D

    It seems that YY implied VT Zforce technology into Arc 10 PR then.. Handling 3U Zforce is quite heavy, however, when swinging it does not feel heavy at all, in fact it is faster, which is unique yet a good thing.

    Thks, but you misunderstood what i meant is a VTZF 4U compare to Arc10 3U. Anyway, seems like different colours have different feelings or it's a rare case to have whereas they're meant to be the same beside of the colours.

    I don't think it's the slimmer shaft that u're talking about.Voltric series rely on its slim shaft that makes it faster to react,along with its voltric tech on the frame,the wavy thing on 7,11,1,5'oclock.While as for this Arc10,basically still the same design as its predecessor.

    The only difference i could think of,that really makes the difference,is the technology the black implied.Red is High Modulus Graphite,while Black is Super HMG.As per last time i checked,the shaft n frame thickness also differs from the Red one.It's slightly slimmer..but not much.Probably YY did some benchpress on it,slimmer,but more solid..:)

    Thanks for the talk, but as i meant is that comparing between a 3U Arc10 and 4U VT ZF, how differ from one to the other??? And is it only about the Arc10 different for each colour, but also apply for VT ZF as well???

    Nope,it's not a repainted Arc10.It's a new breed.So does for all other made limiteds n premiums,they're all new breeds.Can anyone here tell me,that between a model of racket,from 1st gen,2nd gen,3rd gen,limited,they're all the same?IMO,they're all different.Not just simply different colours.If u give the complete series of AT700 or Ti10 to someone who played with all of them for some time already,u can repaint them in black,but still they know which one is which.

    Well,comparing both of the rackets u mentioned,i personally will go for 3U Arc10.But if it's 3U VTZF,then i'll probably will pick 3U VTZF.I prefer more on 3U,since it'll give more power over 4U,n it's still controllable for me.=)

    What about ARC7, NS7000, 8000, AT900LCW? :D

    .02mm on the shaft is very likely due to the paintjob (that is a very insignificant number, not even thick enough for an extra layer of carbon)

    Not to mention it is within the tolerance range that QC would passed in a heartbeat.;)

    Well,those i can't really give any comment,except for the 900PLC.I've tried Arc7 OC,NS8K OC but not the new colours yet.

    I came from a 900P and IMO the 900PLC feeling is significantly different from the normal 900P.Feels stiffer n slightly heavier.That's why not all of the 900P lovers can fell for the 900PLC.


    Well,let's get back to the Arc10 red n black,here's more of the comparison pics..

    Arc10 Red on 7 o'clock:10.43mm
    Arc10 Black on 7 o'clock:10.16mm
    (Difference:0.27mm)

    Arc10 Red on 11 o'clock:9.83mm
    Arc10 Black on 11 o'clock:9.77mm
    (Difference:0.06mm)

    I think after this, you should take some photos but these two rackets together. Also make a measurement of the 2 VT ZF. I really want these two Arc10 and also the white one, but the buget now is not allow me to do that. Great effort anyway with the photos.
