Yonex ArcSaber 9 vs. 10

To be honest, I'd say that the 9 and 10 were almost exactly the same when I played with them. However, the 9 is more of a ladies' racket. You can feel the added flex and this makes the 9 more forgiving to play with. If you can't stand stiff rackets, then the 9 is a fine choice, but personally, I think the stiff feel of the 10 is better. The flex is the main difference other than weight, in this category, the 9 is a little bit lighter.

 

Both are different.. y aint nobody view thier attributed at yonex.com.. arc10 has ultrePEF .. a good shock absorption... completely different feel and if u keep smashing hard using both racket u will surely feel the different.. arc10 does not makes ur hand numb after continuos smashing.. tats what i felt

 

I for one got Arc Saber 9 with no other reason than 'its meant for girls/women', originally planned to buy 10 but from the reviews i have read they are just the same or ALMOST the same

I have read in one of the magazines also that Yonex is launching this one (Arc Saber 9) to have an Arc Saber 10 suited for girls (besides the obviuos color of course.)

 

I understand what you're saying. I have to admit, I've only used the 9 very briefly and I didn't really smash too much. The 10 is actually very comfy to smash with compared with other high end rackets.

 

If u r a guy... choose arc10.. arc9 are meant for ladies cos gals could not generate that much power as a guy thus making the racket less stiff.
And also if u r a smash lover like me.. u should probably choose arc10.. continuos smash wont make ur hand numb..UltraPEF attribute.

I love smashing... most of the ball i receive i tend to smash like crazy.. BERZERK
Had use other racket like NS9000X,AT900P & MP55.. they all makes ur hand numb and tired quickly.

 

LoL....... pink racket's not too bad. you don't mind the love hearts on there too?

I feel the arc9 feels slighter lighter than the 10. after so many smashes the 10 feels heavier. I can also generate slightly more speed with the 9 when defending (btw, my sis owns the arc9 not me ). also, with smaller hands/shorter fingers, alot of females choose the arc9 for its G6 grip size.

also, you don't have to necessarily get an arcsaber. a few of my friends use or have tried the arc10 but feels its not for them, whereas my brother loves it. says it perfect for his smashes and feels great.

I also heard Yonex might be coming out with another arcsaber soon. not sure what number though, but maybe this new one might be what you need.

good luck with your decision

 

Maybe an Arcsaber 8? There's a gap in the names; 7,9 so it would be logical for Yonex to release an 8. If you need a racket now, I'd still recommend the Arc10.

 

well too me, Arcsaber has two or three differences when i played, arcsaber is alil more headheavy gave it alil more kick, but arcsaber can only produce power if you have a faster swing ( usually guys has a faster swing ) soo it produce much more power than a mid flex, last is that the ultra PEF lets you smash contiously without getting tired

 

what about arc saber 8-dx?

 

Exactly what are the differences between the Arc 8Dx and the Arc 10?
