Well you did order from Japan correct (judging by the pictures)? If yes, then you will get japanese models because they are made in Japan and sold within their country.
Not really... the pink shirt is made in Japan, the green shirt is made in China Jacket is made in China too...
It's probably why because the other two are not japanese models. Our of curiosity, can you tell me what those two model numbers are? The Yonex clothings I have ordered Japan, are made in Japan.
I read on a Japanese online badminton store that the ArcSaber7 isnt recomended for hardhitters, and that 'it can even be used by women.' http://store.yahoo.co.jp/seiko-spo/arc7.html
Awwwww! what tension and string did you use? I had a good play time on Friday to use and adapt it to take advantage of it now. Defeinately like this racket.
I find that Arc7 is marginally head heavier than NS8000 (just marginally). Roughly on head heaviness from the lightest... NS8000<Arc7<NS9000<AT900<AT700<Ti-10. Briefly
NBG98 22lbs. I found it very difficult to move the racquet around. Almost injure my wrist doing a backhand clear...
Yonex ArcSaber 7 looks cool!! I just checked it out at www.badmintonalley.com being sold for $199. I want one!!!
Actually on head heaviness, head heavy racket like Ti-10 is difficult to manuver. One of my fren recently switch to Ti-10, and he looks very slow in retrieving the bird now.
as far as i know, Ti-10 isnt that head heavy........ unless you are talking about the old version. Ti-10(N) is a great maneuverability racquet.....
When will higher end Arcsaber models be released? I want to get it, but I think I can wait if new models will come out in the near future ;o
