that one i dunno when the promotion will end... for ur info today i went again to that shop and bought another racket at900p @ rm590...
Smash drop and clear is not a problem. What matters is drive and net plays and returning smashes in doubles. The small sweet spot Increased the failure rate of these skills.
last night i played with arc z.. didnt find any difficulty with drive n net play n returning smash...
Just to add on top of that. None of the pros currently on tour is using it either. The racket is not that good.
ArcSaber Z Slash was overhype and turn out to be a flop. i surprise there are still people actually using this racket.
Tago is using it, Yamada who beat Taufik at the swiss is using it, Gabrielle White & Chris Adcock are using it, one of the Taiwanese ladies (5th seed in ladies doubles at AE). At junior level it's used a bit more which is somewhat suprising since they were practically born with isometrics .
Couple of nobody's ... asian jr champ & vice-junior world champs or summink And luvz the pretty colourz (but I already said that before) This however " ... Arc Z is one of the worst Yonex rackets ever. " (maybe for the price and the hype )
Seriously, would you rather play with the B-500 or the Z-Slash? So I don't think the Z-slash could be the worst. Honestly though, I think the Arc100 could quite possibly be the biggest gimmick ever.
While that is true on the paint job... I think the ARC7 is still a better racket than the Z, as I sold my Z two days after I got it... While my ARC7 is still sitting in my closet with the ARC100 beside it....
I think oppositely, although, my order of use was different. That's probably why. I started with the Z-Slash, then tried the 7 & I didn't like the 7. Cripes, the Z-Slash must be impairing my playing with standard ISOs! I couldn't make very effective shots with the 7!
The 7 has a medium flex, and the Z, stiff. Can't lose with Amortec 900 P or T. Both have the stiff flex.
