Arc 7 is medium stiff while arc 10 is stiff
in my mind
flexible < medium < stiff < extra stiff
<--less stiff - more stiff-->

Arc5 looks like the Ti-10 3rd Gen I have.....

That's racket's feeling is Arc 7 is stiffer than Arc10 upon shuttle impact. Arc 10 is stiffer than Arc 7.

Flex the rackets yourself.

Well Arc7 is easy to use. It's realy player preference.

As I mentinoed earlier, I will be able to try out the Arc 5 this weekend.

Flexing the shaft does does is not a good reference because it does not reflect how it performs in gameplay. It's more like me saying saying, oh I swing the racket which is "head heavy", but I feel that it is not. It does not change the facts.

Try it in actual gameplay. Arc10 is more powerful than Arc7.

I've tried the 10 and didn't like it much so it does come down to player's preference at times. I've been wanting but haven't had the chance to try the 7 yet but I hear really good things about it.

Arc7 is effective using wrist power. Arc10 is effective using leverage.

I finally tried the Arc5.

This racket is more stiff than Arc7 for sure. It took me sometime getting used tryng to get the power down as I wasn't use to the stiffness. After a while, I sort of figured it out and doing powerful smashes and drives with it, more deadly than Arc7. I can say it's pretty responsive if for players with quick wrists.

I will play it more tommorow since I have not fully gotten use to the racket since at times, I swapped back to my Arc7.
