    Can you tell me where you got the exchange rate? According to the current market rate, it is $178 USD. Also credit card company charge you between 1~3% process fee for exchanging currency. On top of that, what is the s/h cost? One last thing, does Seiko ship oversea? It is $180 just on the racquet cost alone. Also, US and CAN office has the racquet in the warehouse and ready to ship to the dealers. Local office is just waiting for 3/1 AE before shipping out. You will have to wait for 1 or 2 weeks before you get it if you buy from Seiko (ShuttleHouse might be faster). Yonex is really tight on shipping date this time for some reason. So pre-order where you can. Also, you will get one if you pre order. I am expecting some shortage for the initial month.

    Good luck

    I see your point sir.
    The last time I checked the currency exchange rate, it was 113yen/1USD. I know it's different every now and then. I checked just now, and I figured out that they dont ship overseas according to their site :crying:.

    u will never get the exchange rate u see on the net, those are for billion $ transactions. Paypal and credit cards companies will make their cuts.

    Does anyone know if there are any other Arc Sabre's planned at the moment? Or will Arc10 be the top end racquet for the series?

    As far as I know, there are new shoes, bags, and new nanospeeds.. but not sure about the ArcSabers.

    Are you sure you don't get paid and work for yonex? Why would they give you a free racket. And if you don't work for yonex then why would you worry about not being allowed to post pictures. Is it because you would get fired?

    Something fishy going on

    I reckon you are a yonex undercover agent who has infiltrated BC with the intension of marketing rackets by making people think you are really knowledgable and have unbiased opinions which they can trust.

    Plus this thread started at the end of January and your review date was in November last year.

    I'm not fooled.

    that is unfounded. and you know ants personally? your "accusations" have gone too far!
    i am like ants but in a different field and if i revealed some details regarding my company's products, i'll get fired. i was a really active user in another forum and the company got a whiff of it. now i participate no more because of the sensitive nature of the information i planned to reveal
