ArcSaber 8 DX

[Matt]

That's why he said "the rest of the arcsaber" which implies all others except for the one stated--in this case, all others but the ArcZS

Ding Ding Ding!

I think that for a racquet that has "even-balance" as one of its specs, the arc 10 is on the head-heavy end. All I said was that I hope the Arc 8 is on the head-lighter end of "even-balance".

Get a Nanospeed then ya girly-man!

I really like the balance and stiffness of the Arc Z. For me it is a very powerfull but less forgiving racquet. Perhabs because of the semi isometric head shape I don't know yet. In this case it would be interesting to see if the Arc 8 DX is less demanding but equally powerfull to the Arc Z

@Easy Tiger
I have overlayed the Arc 7, 8 and Z with the same images you used and the Arc 8's head shape is identical to the Arc 7. Maybe you shrinked the Arc 8 too much. The grommets on the bottom of the head[1] seem to be too much apart.

I'm praying that it's a less head-heavy version of the arc10. I've always felt that the arc10 was on the head-heavy side of its self-proclaimed "Even Balance" weighting.

Found this. Don't know if it is legit.

From shuttle house. Slightly off topic, but does anyone knows where the pdf version of the Yonex Badminton 2010 catalog can be downloaded from?

may i know what will the price be in singapore?

[Easy Tiger]

@teka85 - I just lined up the top and the bottom of the rackets. I think there is a bit of distortion in the photos so I guess only time will tell.

It's crazy that the ArcZS has the same head shape description as the other Arc rackets.

@gamer - price is on the previous page, available in a months' time or thereabouts.

There is a NS3000 in Japan. The chart is for high end Yonex only.

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet.

Now, confirm or deny the headshape on that thing - same as the 10 or same as the ZS.

Already been confirmed. It's the same as 10 or 7. e frame itself looks a bit thicker, however the shaft is thinner.

Here is Arc 8 DX, Arc Z Slash and Arc 7 side by side.

[Easy Tiger]

Some distortion in that shot, but I'll take your word it's the same as the 7/10.
