    Today, I'm comparing 2 rackets, arcZ-slash & ti10. They have the same shaft length, long shaft w/ short handle. The difference is in the stiffness. Ti10 is stiffer.
    Some reviews said that it's not easy to handle arcZs, often miss the sweet spot. Players who love ti10 should not have trouble using arcZs, right? ArcZs is the softer version of ti10, agree??

    The head shape of the two rackets are pretty different and the head speed with the Z is higher than with a Ti-10 (as I only have the 3rd gen that's the one I'm using for comparison).

    I would not call the Z a "soft" Ti-10, they play really different beyond the stiffness of the shaft.

    Ti-10 has a significantly larger sweetspot than Arc-Z

    i don't know why people say that the Arc Z has a longest shaft because if you compare it its just that the Arc Z has a shorter handle/grip compared to Ns9900 NS9000 (X and S) Arc10, AP900, AT900

    Yes, NS9900, NS9000(X&S), NS8000, Arc10, Arc7, At800(Of & Df) & muscle power series have long handle (shorter shaft). But At700, At600, Ti10 have the same short handle as ArcZ.
