    Hello,

    My play on and off for the past few years, haven't really "try" to improve but am playing more often now and wants to improve further. I'm currently using ProAce Ultra Light, just re-string to 24lbs. I often play drop shots and net play. My backhand and smashes are weak. I have done some readings and thought I'd go for either of this 2 model:

    1) RSL Heat 700 (RM 300)
    2) Yonex ArcSaber 008 (RM 200)

    What do you guys think of both racquets with my playing style? And does the extra cost on the RSL worth it for now?

    I'm also considering stringing it at 22/23lbs to adapt to more power then only slowly increase the tension as I improve.

    Feedbacks are very much appreciated!

    Arc 8 DX unstrung is very head heavy like it already has strings on it. Never tried Arc 008 though

    arc008 will more balance racket than rsl heat 700. rsl heat 700 more head heavy then u will get the smash and clear to back court more easily .
