The 2nd version of ti-10. The new Ti-10 is better than the 2nd version.

How does Arc10 power compare to NS9000X and AT900P power?

**ants** · 02-23-2008, 09:16 PM

Like what i've mentioned last year in my ArcSaber 7 review that there is more to come in 2008. This Arcsaber 10 would be one of the best racket to use.

Wow.. I wonder who will start using this racquet. Peter Gade and Zhang Ning already switched from their AT700. Is there a possibility that Lin Dan will switch to the Arc10 too ?

btw, I will get it 10/3... I was so pissed with the Yonex rep, that I get it later than Ants and Gade

.. But he told me I will get it earlier, once i beat Gade consistently

Don't be pissed with your Yonex Rep. Probably you got it late due to location. Its far from Japan to your area.

haha, I am not to pissed, it was more of a joke ;D .. But I guess the distance to Denmark is not THAT much less then Sweden from Japan

.. so i don't think the distance (with todays air-delivery) is a major issue

BTW i noted Your review was 3U, have you had a chance to test the 2U, Ants?

Me too. Struggling to choose between 2U and 3U. Currently using 2nd generation Ti-10 2U 29x31lbs, BG65ti.

Ants, are you hinting that it is similar to the ti swing power of old? I would be inclined to go for the 3U unless the 2U offers considerably more power. Manoevarability and control is more important for me. What do you think?

**phandrew** · 02-24-2008, 08:02 PM

Ants how would you rate the Arc10 power compare to NS9000X and AT900P power?

**Burger_King** · 02-24-2008, 08:29 PM

Yay i just preorder one.

**kaizen** · 02-24-2008, 09:11 PM

Ants....Do u know if Yonex would be producing the ArcS 10 in the Black edition?.....or was it just for demo?

**phandrew** · 02-24-2008, 09:19 PM

What do you mean by 2nd generation of Ti-10 and the new Ti-10? 2nd generation meaning the long one and new meaning the yellow? Or do I have it wrong.

Maybe Ants is referring to the Ti-10 (purple) 3rd gen?

**KazeCloud** · 02-24-2008, 10:27 PM

Yes which ones are you exactly referring it to? ^_^?

The old Ti-10 perked up its ear when you said those bold statements.

Mostly I really need to know because I'm going to buy at $300+ Ti-10 2u pretty soon. X_X.

**kaizen** · 02-24-2008, 10:28 PM

Ohh....the site shows only red.....which means only red is for general public....any idea how one might be able to get the Black edition??

It is quite easy, buy some 800 and 1200 grid sandpaper + 1 can of flat black model paint.

2nd generation refers to post 2001 production for old version of Ti-10. If i didn't get it wrong, the 2nd generation of old Ti-10 is less head heavy than the 1st generation.

New Ti-10 refers to the new colour schemed Ti-10 which is headlight.
I tink ants meant that. Not sure though..need his confirmation....
