DinkALot's Racket Review

[jerby]

slim shaft... nice


sturdier than the w7?
..
wow
... that's some serious piece of heavy-duty-equipment

I don't mean to keep bothering you(), but have you ever had a Karakal racket in your hands? That mtec-80 Tatoo keeps calling my name, tried anything by them?

Tattoo keeps calling your name? Does it sound like "The plane! The plane!"?

Nope, haven't tried any of those rackets.

such a shame that's before my time

anyway, here's why:

It looks so utterly insane I start liking it

[issarakaya]

Assuming the AT900T in 4U...

...I'd say the APACs 9600 Tour is comparable but swings a bit heavier due to the actual weight being heavier.

Also the LX 851, though it's a bit heavier in weight , it's less head heavy so the swing weight will feel comparable to a bit lighter.

The SOTX Circle Power (CP) swing similarly but I forget which one is closest.

Finally the Gosen Aermet 5700 is similar too.

Thx for your view @Dink and @Jerby but too bad those model not available in my country hope someday it would change............
Actually i use 3U at900T

You like the Woven 7i and now this vertigo-inducing specimen? One really begins to question your taste. But being so tall, you are already used to standing out.
Promise us that if you get married that you'll post a pic of the tux you choose.

(PS I knew the minute I posted the Fantasy Island pic that no one on this forum would be old enough to remember....What an old man am I!)

Master Fidget,

I remember . I guess I am too old.

You are only old here if you were born before the Lunar landing and you remember wide leg pants, cut-offs, and disco......the first time 'round

haha,
People here actually thought I did have taste?

I'm pretty used to standing out, but I do my best to make matters worse (anyone remember those blue/yellow Hi-tec Switchbacks?)

I only know the line da plane, da plane, sorry

I remember, but I was laughing too hard to post a response. I'm better now.

Er, this racquet looks like a cross between an AT-700 LTD, a Victor something, a psychedelic barber-pole and a rolled-up zebra

I don't just remember these.
In fact, I was in these for quite a while
I now feel my shoulders sagging with compounded age.

[...]As for the Arc Saber 10, I'm not a fan. I tried the 2U version and it felt headheavy and the shaft felt far too flexible. I tried the 3U version and the shaft felt stiffer but that's probably because it wasn't as head heavy. Something just didn't feel right about the racket and I didn't want to play it with any detail. As of now, it's not recommended.

I can't but endorse this view

As stated elsewhere, the ArcSaber 10 is perhaps the most over-rated racquet ever from the Yonex assembly line. Looks pretty... and that's about all that's new in it

Every time I look at it, it puts me through 'Buyer's Remorse'!

I always thought this was one spooky show. A guy in a clean pressed suit and a short dude both talking with funny accents. "Look boss, da plane..."

[painkilla86]

so why isnt the at700 3u tested? 4u is just bad for at700.

[DinkAlot]

No, the 4U AT700 is a great performing racket, just not as durable as I like.

In the US we only get the 4U. I have owned a 3U AT700 but I didn't test it in any detail. It was great offensively but defensively it was rather poor. So I sold it. Again, I didn't adequate test it enough to put in my review.

I only put equipment in my review when I feel I have thoroughly tested it.

When will you add the APACs in your magnificent outstanding PRR ?

[Apacs UK]

Yeh i'd be very interested to hear what Sir Dink has to say about Apacs. I actually prefer the Apacs edge sabre 10 to the yonex Arc Saber 10
