Hi All, The verdict is out! I love my 'Tu Long Dao' (Arc Saber). Arc Saber, SP Coded, 3UG4, overgrip, BG66, 28LBS, one piece stringing. I was darn worried that the Arc Saber will fail to convince me like the NS8000, NS9000, AT900P... I have been using my AT-700, and I simply could not accept any other rackets. I warmed up with my AT-700 for 10 minutes. Afterwhich, I drawn my Arc Saber and have a couple of swings before we started the game. It is really an all rounded racket! Whatever benefits I have with AT-700 can be derived from my Arc Saber 10. Smashing is superb! Just superb! I will not be capable of achieving such smashes with AT-700. The control of shuttle when smashing, driving, dropping, etcs, has been much more accurate and with less effort. It is really a very good racket. Just imagine after the game, members gathered around to try to find out what racket are you using, to generate such an explosion! I am very satisfied with the racket, the feeling is really good. Thanks.
Was it the racket ability or the shiney red colour...???!!! Please keep us update with more feedbacks of Arc10 soon.... Cheers
Great to know that now you find an alternative for your AT700. Arcsaber 10 is indeed an all around racket.
The smashes were much faster compared to AT-700. I find it much easier to generate smashes than AT-700. And recovering the opponent's smashes was effortless, just easy. The racket really performed much better then my expectation. Thanks.
So,that simply means that the arc saber 10 suits u more than ur AT700.Not every one can really use AT700.AT700 demands so much in power..but will give so much in return as well.While the ARC10 is more forgiving..u don't have to spend so much power to do strokes.That's why ur hits feels easier n more powerful..rather than when playing than the AT700.That's also what i felt from comparing between my AT700 n my AT900T. So,i would pick AT900T to play in ordinary occasion,but when things getting hotter in the game..i'll pick out my AT700.
I can generate faster smashes. And... after 6 games with many smashes, still capable of going for the 7th game. With AT-700, 5 games will drain me out... Thanks.
Great to know your loving it. After all it has proven itself with one of the korean champ of the recent AE MD using it
In fact, it was used by two of the biggest smashers in the game - Jung Jae-Sung (Korea, already mentioned) and Zheng Bo. Pretty good endorsements in my book, especially since Zheng Bo used to use a 700 himself.
just wondering what about mp100 ? since I've seen so many post and people trying/looking for a "real" mp100 to buy btw can anyone tell/explain to me why mp100's era was so short ? was the defects in production ?
Why would one choose Arc Saber 10 instead of AT-700 for doubles? Well... forgoing little power in exchange for versatility and swiftness. Thanks.
I am referring to those who were thinking that Arc Saber is less powerful than AT-700. For me, unlike my previous AT-900P, I am very satisfied with this Arc Saber (read my lips ). Nonetheless, even if those who think that Arc Saber generates less power than AT-700, swiftness is power in doubles. Thanks.
so arc saber-10 is approved by Chua... better not change your mind after few session of games haha...
From 1978 till now, I have been changing rackets, I cannot promise The Arc Saber 10 will be good till the next better one appears... Thanks.
