Don't forget my question. =P

I know you have a hard time doing all of this. But we really appreciate it Ants! Thank you!

Does anyone know if there are any other Arc Sabre's planned at the moment? Or will Arc10 be the top end racquet for the series?

As far as I know, there are new shoes, bags, and new nanospeeds.. but not sure about the ArcSabers.

Are you sure you don't get paid and work for yonex? Why would they give you a free racket. And if you don't work for yonex then why would you worry about not being allowed to post pictures. Is it because you would get fired?

Something fishy going on

I reckon you are a yonex undercover agent who has infiltrated BC with the intension of marketing rackets by making people think you are really knowledgable and have unbiased opinions which they can trust.

Plus this thread started at the end of January and your review date was in November last year.

I'm not fooled.

that is unfounded. and you know ants personally? your "accusations" have gone too far!
i am like ants but in a different field and if i revealed some details regarding my company's products, i'll get fired. i was a really active user in another forum and the company got a whiff of it. now i participate no more because of the sensitive nature of the information i planned to reveal

You have just completely contradicted yourself in your first and second sentence.

So thanks for that you have just basically agreed with me in saying he works for yonex. I having nothing against ants, he's just taking orders from his boss at yonex. Plus I like the reviews

Knock off the conspiracy theories.

Its not a conspiracy theory, its a marketing theory.

I have no problem with ants, just don't why people on BC love him so much.

Same goes for a few others members of BC, people just love em so much.

Its like they are celebrities. And everyone loves them. Have more respect for yourself, members of BC.

Here is my answer if I am Ants.
1) No comment.
2) Can't tell you anything.
3) I catagorically deny any rumor and untrue statements out there.
4) I can tell you but I have to kill you.

From my reading of his prior review and post, I feel they are unbiased and very insightful. If Ants gets pay by Yonex to spread the true and unbiased review of racquet, I personally do not feel anything wrong with it. Infact, from ARC7 review, it gives him more credibility because he did say the best (or beast) is yet to come...
No further comment till 3/9.

Ants have been quite straightforward that he gets "freebies" from Yonex in terms of not released rackets etc. for testing.

Any intelligent forum reader will recognize that it may be hard for Ants to be entirely objective (if we are talking about comparing to other products, brands etc) getting all that "candy" from Yonex, and not having the same "attention" from other vendors prototypes etc. But I have no doubt in my mind that Ants is expressing his sincere views about the rackets tested..

It's not like he is blindly promoting the latest thing (if you've actually read what he has written).

Personally I think BC members gets credability when more members find out that they agree with the reviews or in retrospect think it was an accurate post...

As everything posted on the forum remains (if not taken away by the mods).. History is a good judge, and helps build credability..

Ants has done a good job so far, and regardless of his Yonex connections he has always been balanced and to the best of my knowlede honest in his posts..

If you are accusing people for being undercover or infiltrating BC, I think you should try to back it up with references to quotes from them indicating this, or links, proofs of bias etc. Otherwise it just kills your own credability.

No offence but Master Yoda seems to like causing issues on the forum.

BTW: I saw that post of yours before the mods stepped in and removed it, considering I was only messing around as a joke.
