    I think he probably meant 2 rackets will release in the same time which are Arc11 and ArcFB

    This! ArcS 11 is NOT 73 gram. ArcS FB is. They both come in a single color. ArcS 11 is red and ArcS FB is Blue/Yellow

    The colour scheme for FB is ridiculously ugly - it looks like for kids. Meanwhile the 11 could have been better if they followed the VT3 Tour colours with some black at the head.

    It's quite attractive for me, striking color. But 73gm doesn't fit me, so I go for ARC11. Different people with different tastes. Right?

    The ArcFB in 73 gram, I wonder how is the feeling to lift the shuttle, probably need big muscle power to lift to reach the back court.

    Don't dismiss lower weight rackets before trying them. Some of them can put out some impressive power.

    I've played with a Black Knight Photon (75g) for a long time and I was able to get as much power (if not more) as a lot of 3U rackets. However, I was not able to get any power out of their other rackets in that super light series (75-78g).

    Not saying you'll get as much power as with a VT80, but you might be impressed.. or disappointed :)

    Anyone got it yet? I would order it instantly if I knew where. And when I've got it there will be a head to head review with Arc 10 and Arc 8 dx. So lets see if someone beats me to it. :D

    Did I not write "The blue one is the ArcSaber Flash Boost, ..., this is the 73gram one" ;) [meaning the blue one]

    It's not even due for a month :D, but I read someone on the badmintoncn forum has a demo version and will come up with a review shortly/next week ...

    I was pointing out that you were right and confirming that aramistuscany was not when he was saying the ArcS 11 was 73g and came in 2 color schemes :)

    According to my friend, ants has already received arc 11 and my friend said that the racket is a good all rounder racket with excellent aerodynamics so I'm definitely getting it :p

    Sure it's been said before but you think you need a "DEMO" coded racket demolidor. :p the come looks a little rounder than my arcsaber 10 but I think they changed the design when they did the z slash didn't they?
