Yonex ArcSaber Z Slash Review

I can only see the Arc Z, being used by the man in Mixed doubles, as they tend to play at the back of the court, other than that, I can't really see it being used. It's been a big success, with professional players though, only Tago, and Robert Matuesiak (sorry roy_b can you correct my spelling)

 

Mateusiak . From Wolomin on the outskirts of Warsaw. Just down the road from me .

 

I was trying to be sarcastic I can only think of two pro players using this racket. (but that doesn't mean anything I suppose) every player is different, but not many players seem to like the Arc Z, personally, I can see why they don't like it.

 

hmmm, I thought Sony won the S'pore open using arc Z ? And TH is also using the arc Z TH ??

 

Taufik used it briefly, I think Sony did as well, but they don't use it on a consistent basis

 

The number of (pro)players using the Z is increasing steadily . A few dozen is more like it instead of two

 

You guys forgot the ninja who used This racket to fight on court.. Kenichi Tago!

hehe

 

I didn't forget Tago, George
Actually Chris Adcock uses it, so thats 2 Mixed doubles players and 1 singles player, with occasional uses from others.

funnily enough, I was about to post, that I wasn't aware of any female professionals using the Arc Z, but this post answers my question

 

Haha, well Gabby White is using it as well isn't she (together with Chris A.). In juniors there are a good number of girl users in the national squads over here ...

 

Maybe it's a girl's racket ? ........

Awwwww, just joking lads. I couldn't resist

 

Maybe not, maybe it's more of a mixed doubles racquet after all the bruhaha. Thereby, it's fine for lads and the lasses anyhow.

 

Agreed this racket, is best suited for XD events

 

LoL YY says on adverts that Taufik uses Arc Z while he only played with it for the round 1&2 of Japan Open last year....if I remember...

 

he used it abit, at the Indonesia open, and I am sure he will use it for a bit during the Canada Open, he also used it in the French open, (you should have known that one )

 

Anyway, he mainly uses Arc10.....

But YY will release a special version Arc Z Taufik H or something...(rumor)

 

not rumour fact, taufik has already used it, and it is out at the end of the month I believe

 

That's a joke, they just do marketing and kinda things....

 

Ahhh i see ....so there are so many "kids" suddenly owning so many Arc Zs in Malaysia and China alone ....not to say Indonesia and Singapore .....mmmm interesting "facts"

No, what i wish to highlight is as per below

All are free to express the negative reviews of THE RACKET. I.e in terms of smash, clears, drop, etc. etc. i.e. This is not a thread of who should use Arc Z, but review of racket, u know the piece of equipment your hand holds to hit the shuttle.
I wonder what review is beneficial here of judging a racket based on how many pro endorsed it /use it ??? Or conclude that a kid or girl is more suitable for this racket ....Simply because this is not your racket or oneself is not highly skilled enough to use it ? I wonder ......
On the same analogy (as posted here in the last 2-3 pages), if i were to use the same way u guys commented, NS9900 to me, should then be a racket for Sissy then ....no raw power at all ....and i copycat a bit by ending it with IMO
Now, that will not be a nice review, isn't it ?

At the end of the day, if u r happy with whatever racket u own, live with it. positive and negative review ON the rackets are MOST welcomed , this is after all a review thread ...but other than that ....maybe we should open a Arc Z chat room, or Arc Z thrashing thread ....then i may even contribute one or 2 there ....kekekekeke
