    Yonex arcsaber 10

    yonex arcsaber z slash

    yonex nanospeed 9900

    i am trying to order these when the company wrote back asking me to specify the code and specification of the rackets.

    by specs, they all come in 2U and 3U and g3/4/5 but that depends on region. Codes are usually where you're geographically situated unless the you're importing rackets from another country, hence the difference in "codes"
    I recommend you sharing the "company" you're planning to order from to prevent any chances of purchasing fake rackets for a real racket's price

    but for everything else use the Search function ;)

    woah just came back, warm pasta after training is amazing! :)

    i will prob order the smallest grip size G5 so i get a wider choice to put on super PU grab layers,

    and 3U for the lightness.

    so will the China codes be a problem at all?

    China codes eh... well the only CH coded racket i have is an old mp88 its authentic but i dont think resale values are high due to the skepticism of fake CH rackets. Then again theres lots of fake SP and IP coded racket.

    Bluesky is a good supplier, I know people who purchased from them but i would recommend you trying to purchase off our Buy/Sell forum, but if you insist buying new try to inquire other codes or compare other sites for prices sohubuy.com is cheaper (shipping charges not taken into account ofcourse)

    3U is definitely NOT the stiffness of a racket...

    I could be wrong in some of my posts but certainly 3U is nothing close to stiffness lol

    Sorry I have to comment.. 3U is the weight range of the racket, but you probably already know that.
