Hi ANTS, How is Arc Saber 10 compared to AT900P. I sold away AT900P because I can derive more power from AT700. But... AT900P is really quite a good racket. I am looking at the 3UG4 version. Thanks.
Here are some of my Arc 10 pictures. I will have the chance to test it this Wednesday and knowing I can't use it with my full potential since I just recover from a twisted ankle :crying::crying::crying:..So I doubt I will see the Arc 10 true potential this Wednesday.. The racket feels head heavy just like my AT900P (AT900P a bit more heavier) although on the shaft said even balance and it swings like NS9KS. I like the colour of this racket. It's bright red as bright as my red stringing machine.
In 2 weeks i'm going to Minneapolis/Bloomington. I have 2 questions. 1) Do they sell them in Minneapolis/U.S? 2) How much does it cost?
Wow, that looks amazing Chica! Nice pictures! The red is really bright, matches perfectly to with your Stringing Machine. You say it swings like an NS9KS, but the head is just as head heavy as the AT900P. How would you rate the racket on power, feel, defence and manouverability, etc. when compared to those 2 rackets? Thanks for the pics!
you do know that GREEN D) is good for the eyes, and red mad is bad for your eyes if you stare at it for a long time right? With that much red either you're spending each day as Chinese New Years or you're going to need some pretty uncool glasses. just kidding but seriously, too much red is bad for the eyes
Pics Of My ArcSaber 10 My first post woooo!!!! Hi Guys and Girls. I have recently been researching the ArcSaber 10 on this forum and many other websites and found it very useful. I went to the All England on Friday and purchased the ArcSaber 10. I previously had been using the NS8000 which I found was a brilliant racket with a good combination of power and touch. This is what attracted me mostly to the Arcsaber 10. After reading posts from owners and ants I decided to get my ArcSaber 10 racket restrung with BG80 at the All England by a guy from CentralSports to add a little more power. I predominately play men’s doubles and consider myself an offensive power player but still require a good touch with fast racket head movement. From watching Zheng Bo and Jung J S on Sunday they were both using the ArcSaber 10. This filled me with confidence that I had brought the right racket for me (not comparing my skill to theirs). I played with the racket on Saturday morning for a bit of light training and found, touch, racket speed and power all to better than my previous racket but to what degree it remains to be seen. I am playing on Monday and I am in a match on Tuesday so will do a more comprehensive report for potential buyers after. Here are a few pictures of the Arc 10.
i think it'll looks better with a deeper red grip, kinda like what BCL has. how much were they going for at the AE? and how much did stringing cost? just curious ...
BCL and PG, who were in the Arc10 Advertisement are now using the ARC10. Will LCW be using the ArcSaber 10 too ?
i hope not, he's been doing well with the at900p so far. he's made it at least to the SF of the last few SS, barring the korean open when he was ill, so i think he feels comfortable with it. i hope there isn't any marketing pressure on him to change.
Agree with you Dreamzz, would hate to see one of my favourite players have to change rackets due to marketing pressure from Yonex and end up not doing as well as he is with the at900p
Yeah i prefer the deeper red grip but i didn't have one to hand (gutted). The racket cost me £160 and £15 for the restring (at 23 Lbs). Central Sports said they would probably be on sale in their shop and online in 2 or 3 months for about £135 £140.
It was definately 3u and the grip size i think was g4. My over grip is covering it up now so i cant check. Sorry
There must be more than just one gripsize. The 3U will definitely be there. G4 would be the standard grip size. Remember, 3U = weight, G3 = grip size. People have different sized hands, so there are different sized grips. If Yonex only releases the G3, they'd be really user-unfriendly.
That is probably because people generally have larger hands than those in the Asian counties. In Japan, G4 and G5 are the standards. Even G6 is available for some racquets such as the Ti3. If the 3U's come in G3 only, then I guess that the 2U's would also come in G3 only, because it's heavier.
