hey does anyone of the pros here use both arc 10 and the vt70/80 can you give me some comparisons between the 3 rackets? which racket is good for mix doubles and singles? does arc 10 power compare with the vt70/80? thank you
IMO, (though i am quite far from a pro) For mixed and singles: VT80=ARC10>VT70. I would put the ARC on par with the VT80, but i have a feeling popular consensus would say VT80 is superior. The arc is a bit faster, and packs a good punch. The VT80 is similar, but it has more of a power bias then a speed one. Defensively, i feel the arc10 wins out, and at the net, the arc10 also is the better choice. It really depends on styles of play. The VT70 isnt bad, in fact its up there, but its slightly just below those two. If you want to know about level doubles, i would say: VT70= ARC10>VT80. The power of the VT80 is superb, but the Vt70/arc10 is definitely not slouches either. Also, both are a bit faster than the vt80, and i would say the feel of the arc for me is better. Defensively, both are easier to wield. Again, i am not saying that the VT80 isnt good for doubles, but i feel as though the other twos speed and other factors help out in doubles more. Finally, because i have seen people take reviews to the extreme, ALL THREE ARE GOOD RACKETS. ALL THREE WILL BE FINE FOR WHATEVER YOU PLAY. there are differences, BUT THE DIFFERENCES ARE VERY SMALL.
I've tried hitting with the VT70 didn't like it. Arc 10 I used it for like 2 hours and it feels nice but weird 0.0. The Arc 10 is fantastic in all areas. Now the VT80. I own a VT80 and its demanding, but once your used to it you'll be fine. Arc 10 should be the racket you want to get since its good for doubles and singles. If you play more singles then doubles go with VT80. But remember be ready all the time to hit the shuttle, because due to the head heavy in the VT80.
MX80 is STIFF and Slightly head heavy. I never tried it but reading through all the reviews seems to be a good racket. And yeah durability for all yonex racket is the same.
I've been using Yonex rackets for many years and I've never broken one despite multiple clashes. Been using apacs rackets for almost 2 years and also never broken one. I think durability is more or less the same across all brands.
I don't have MX80 (but planning to buy one if I broke one of my racket) it is stiff and slightly head heavy like polaroid said it is a good all arounder, more of arcsaber 10 with more power and slightly faster? (based on review) slightly head heavy gives better power output than arcsaber 10 (but still below VT80)
I am debating whether I should get a Yonex ArcSaber 7 or a Yonex ArcSaber 5DX? Which one is better for singles? Which is better for doubles? Which is better for smashing? Which is better for control? Which is lighter? (both say 85-89g)
To be honest in my opinion I don't like the Arc 10 its just doesnt fit me xP. VT80 very very very powerful in terms of smashes I swear it was like holy crap fast. Defensive you gotta work it up since the head heavy is being hard to defend with but I found it ok. Im going to get the MX80 around august? idk maybe ill change my mind to MX70 who knows. So give MX80 a try.
Could somebody please answer my question, I just joined this site and don't have a clue on how to post threads anyway my question was: "I am debating whether I should get a Yonex ArcSaber 7 or a Yonex ArcSaber 5DX? Which one is better for singles? Which is better for doubles? Which is better for smashing? Which is better for control? Which is lighter? (both say 85-89g)"
Sir, you should state ur playing style, which one you play singles or doubles. Read the sticky notes in the this section before you ask. Thank you
