    omg. broke an arcsaber 7 and 10. a mishit and the frames deformed like mad. they were strung with bg 80 at 26 lbs. i'd stay with armortec if you're a doubles player or if you mishit every now and then. i'm hating this arcsaber series...cost me a fortune already.

    How many times did you mishit ?

    If it is frequent, then it is a matter of time before the frame cracked and deformed, but if it is only that once, either there's some defeats or your mishit is really really hard !

    boss, you had better go to shop and see those rackets if you are keen to buy it.

    or visit Yonex website for more info.

    Arc Saber 10 vs NS 9000S or NS 9000X

    Hi Gold,
    Arc Saber 10 is a very unique racket, clearing n lobbing are effortless. Smashing is more powerful if u add some lead tape on the racket 's head. As for NS 9K s, it is fast in swing but not as powerful as NS 9K X. Depend on yr playing style, U may choose NS 9K S if u a control player, NS 9K X if offensive player. Still I prefer Arc Saber 10, as it is a very unique racket with good swing n good smashing power if u add some lead tape on it.:p U must try to love it.;)

    If you are using Nanospeed 8000, switching to Arc Saber 10 should be quite comfortable. Nanospeed 9000 has its own edge, make sure you try wielding the Arc Saber 10 before getting one... Arc Saber 10, you either love it or hate it...

    Thanks.

    ARC10 stiffness

    I think ARC10 stiffer than NS9000S
    It might be the same as NS9000X. But it is way easy to play with. Clear + Drive + Push: easy; Smash: need to adjust a little bit. Overall: Excellent:):):):):)
    It is just my 2 cents

    Nanospeed 9000S is more stiff.... my point of view may be different.

    Thanks.

    You guys really make my eyes & neck stiff to this thread.
    Gold-: Is your name coincidentally to be Steve too ? hahahha....jk jk

    Would say ARC10 a tad stiffer than N9K-S, N9K-S felt to be stiff coz of its head-light(?). N9K-X stiffness could be on par then.

    According to the Official Yonex catalogue, ArcSaber 10 is just a wee-bit stiffer than Nanospeed 9000S, and 9000X is way more stiffer than Arc10. Besides, who cares about stiffness, if you think the racquet suits you, you use it.
