    This looks nice like the old Ti10, but lol.. the first two are obviously photoshopped pictures of the original ARC7.

    Didn't that promo video suggest that there would be 3 variants - Power, speed, and control

    http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/products/as_flash/as.html

    Ants also said that there may be 2 or 3 different variations.

    One of the video's suggested the name "Fire", so maybe there'll be 3 types of Arcsaber 10 each with a colour scheme, characteristic, and "nickname".

    about 230 to 240 CAD with the current currency rate :p still damn expensive. i'm pretty sure the price for canadian market will be even higher with the duties and taxes and markups.

    Omgawd. Not another RED racket. I'm tired of red rackets, I hate red. >=[

    When are they ever going to get BLUE rackets. Sheesh! >=[

    Do you read Japanese? I don't see any suggestions of 3 characteristics.
    But I bet if they do they're going to make power RED. URGH. >=[

    I think many people missed one important point about the Arc line. According to YY, Arc line uses plastic T-joint to save weight. X-ray vision will show nothing in the future. I am not sure if that is good or bad for durability. Just a note...

    it's unnamed so it's arc saber noname, which i believe infringes on my copyrighted name and deserve a racket.

    hahaha, this thread is way too funny! That would indeed be crazy if they released 3 new Arcsabers (noname, stork, and fire). I would probably go for the fire, but no offense to the other copyrighted rackets ;o.

    Been looking forward to this line for a long time, purposely held out and didn't buy an Arc7 in order to save up for these bad boys..

    Ants, we all anxiously wait your review!

    If anyone has seen the HK comics StormRiders, they know the noname should be called the "HERO" because the person called No Name (Mo Ming) uses the Hero Sword.
