    Im planning to buy wether Z Slash or N90 Woods.Maybe I will buy Z Slash since I already have AT700(which is much better then N90 Woods).At first Im only interested to buy N90 Woods,but after watching more Taufik video,I decided to buy Z Slash hehe.Futhermore,I never have Arcsaber Series before.Ill give my review when I get it ...

    I have the Z slash and I don't use much as it is very difficult to use.

    I have tried the N90 and I feel it is certainly one of the best racquet that I have ever use and that's why I will be getting one soon !

    Specs wise, I actually think the Arc 8DX might be a better choice than the Z Slash.

    the Z slash is only hard to get accustomed to it because of its small sweet spot and the quick head speed, once you get the timing down, the racket is a beast. Many give up on it because of the degree of difficulty of using it. I would suggest finding a local dealer that will allow you to demo the rackets or simply borrowing a racket form a fellow club member or friend and see how its feels. Our choice in rackets is as divers as we are

    I don't have the AT700 but the AT700 limited and my N90 is only arriving this weekend.

    I can probably give a quick review next week after I have back to back testing.

    I will bring semtex and c4 if you want explosive power :p

    I think raw power maybe TC700 has slight edge, but the thing about the N90 is the feel of the racquet, it really really feels good !

    Boss how many exotic rackets do you have? I would have to work pretty hard to catch up with your collection.

    Arc Z JP 2U G5

    Just got my new Beast on Saturday and had a session with it immediately. Man, it is a real "beast". The smashing power it has compared to its 3U is amazing. But overall, it is balance as well, depending on how much your wrist can handle that is. :D
    Will review more with photos when i got time to snap a few.

    Would an ArcSaber Z Slash with code 060892CD be a real racquet? or a fake. Just want to make sure.

    Arc Z 2UG5

    Here you go...
    I am loving it more and more over my 3U Arc Z. Very balance and not sluggish at all.
    Power it gives is WOW.
    (But not recommended for those wristy players, i.e those that loves NS9900 to death, personal humble opinion)

    Photos....
