    The eDM doesn't say much... In fact, close to nothing. I'm guessing it's mainly a repaint of some of the better selling models.

    Two words starting with "re-"? I pressed "SNOOZE":D.

    We won't see anything new until the Japan Open at the very earliest.

    They should make a Z-Speed II, with an improved feel...

    If it's really a repainted FB... I see no point... I thought there will be more to it! At least an improved FB or something.

    The ARC-FBn.

    Actually, the NR-iSP is more interesting than this, at the very least.
    They actually rounded up every single range with a Z and a I, lol.

    ARC-ZS,IS
    VTZF,IF
    NR-ZSP,NR-ISP

    Yeah. Or maybe make an even-balanced version of FB.

    Isn't the FB an even balance racquet? It's an "ArcSaber" for goodness sake...

    According to the Yonex racket matrix it's head-light.

    I though it was supposed to be an even balanced racket but it plays like a head light.

    In my experience, it feels head light, but plays like head heavy racket. Although it's an Arcsaber, specs wise it's not anything close to an Arcsaber, be it by feel or during actual play.
