Threesome anyone ? -> http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/127706-Arcsaber-Z-slash-cap (dozens of threads on Z-Slash if you just browse this section)
still... one of the best Yonex racket up to this date. Some found durability issues on the frame under high tension (28+ lbs) and some complained about the smaller sweetspot since the head is smaller compared to the normal isometric size. I would say it's a niche, an amazing racket for certain people. it's either you love it or hate it.
It's a very good racket. Smaller frame size than most, it'll take a match or two to get use to it's quicker swing speed initially. I have 2 of it 3U, well balance overall. Note that your usual string tension would need to be reduced by a pound or two to "feel" the same as your normal size frame racket.
Agree on the string tension... I strung my Arc Z-Slash [MENTION=21402]25lbs[/MENTION] and it's comparable to other rackets strung @26lbs with the same string. The Arc Z-Slash is not really even-balance as what I assumed before, the BP is actually in between 295-302mm which is a bit head-heavy. I measured the BP of the 3U yellow and 3U TH-edition, both were 296 and 298mm respectively while the 2U yellow was 302mm. It's just the smaller frame which makes the racket feels very fast.
