Yonex ArcSaber 10 Review

**DanPong** · 03-05-2008, 02:43 PM

so far a few people mention that Arc 10 feels very similar to Arc 7.

As far as I know Arc 7 feel really flexible and very low power. However, it will be easy for people who have slower swing speed. Is this the case? can anyone who already have the Arc 10 help verify.

Thank you

Dan

Dan,

I agree with you about the Arc 7. My buddy just got one recently and I tried it last night. I found it to be abit too flexible fro my liking. I can't vouch for the Arc 10, but my understanding is that it is stiffer than the Arc 7.

huh? arc7 no power?

I think it is pretty good....

**masterblaster99** · 03-05-2008, 03:18 PM

I'm not trying to say the Arc 7 doesn't have power. In fact I thought it faired just fine in that department. I just am not a fan of the medium stiffness of the racquet is all. lol.

Arc7 is good using your snapping powers.

Went to the Yonex All England Open today

The ArcSaber 10 was launched this week in the UK and is currently only on sale at the All England Open.
Got a ArcSaber 10 which feels great. It is was described to me as 'stiffer' than the the Arc 7. I have played with a Arc 7 which had a really good feel.
I am looking forward to comparing the two tomorrow night at training.

I just tried a few swing with ArcSaber 10 , it's fell more stiffer and solid compare to Arc Saber 7 , to me it's good for attcking or rapid firing player, the racket frame look more slim compare to amourtec series , just a little bit maybe because of difference shape , The colour WOW! it's actract me.. The Glowing red and white with red grip.. it look nice , more more better than amourtec series , the "down side" is .. The price for this item to me toooo..... expensive RM850.00 (US$244.96) with string ( in East Coast of Malaysia Penisular, Kuala Terengganu Town). Yesterday evening , my buddies , my regular stringer (He also racket shop owner) just strung it 27lbs, it look good... but to me it depend on your playing style , i just strung my racket at 25.5lbs with BG68 titanium for my amourtec 900T

Hi, I just found out price for ArcSaber 10 and it costs RM680 without string.

Is it normal for the racket in this price?

Cheers.

In Singapore, with string, grip and cover, the price is S$266. Go figure out.

Thanks.

In KL, in general the initial price will be around RM610. In six months time, a seller with volume sales will able to sell it for around RM550. In particular this what was happened to AT900 series.

The price for a US coded ARC10 is between $210~$230 in US.

**specializer** · 03-06-2008, 12:24 AM

So it's normal for this racket at this price.

I will be getting one and the shop gotta order it from KL (I'm in Penang anyway).

Thanks everyone!

kaatt, how much was the arcsaber 10 at the yonex all england as i am goingto the finals on sunday and am thinking of acquiring one but not sure whether to wait as it is always a bit expensive to get it at the all england.
