    People get hyped about the newest racket. Don't get tricked into thinking the newest is always the best racket. Technology in rackets doesn't mean it will perform better.

    I tried many rackets with new technology and don't perform any different from an ordinary racket.

    sure but thats just your opinion....

    Does the Arc10 have the most technology compared to other yonex racquets?

    ARC 10 has the same number of technology as NS9000 and AT900.

    I'll give you an anology of Elastic Ti and Nanotube

    Nanotube: Think this as shuttlecocks stacked on top of each other. The shuttlecock can bend over to make and arc making the frame on a racket more flexible.

    Elastic Ti: Think this a the tube of a shuttlecock. Stiff and powerful if able to bend making the frame on a racket more stiff.

    It's best to read the technology section on the yonex website to understand.

    Im not sure, I think it might be Nanotube because it is more flexible. Flexible=more repulsion=faster speed.

    The Elastic Ti is better for power. Think it of this. Elastic Ti is stiff so if it bends it will move back faster to its original shape.

    It will aid for people who can't produce much power.

    The frame and shaft will bend to a maximum angle before it snaps(only superman can do this:p). The Nanotubes will allow extra bending because of it's more flexible. A person will strength would prefer a stiff shaft and frame. I will not go into the physics of bending graphite.

    Nanotubes, Elastic ti....whatever

    The most powerful yonex racquet is the legendary Ti-10 pre 2004 in 2U. It had none of this fancy nano-infused titanium crap.

    Pick what feels right, and screw the rest of this techno nonsense. You'll play better.

    True. But pre 2004 Ti-10 is also surpassed by RSL X2 Gold :D. It's a BOB!
