    Have been using my Arc10 for almost 3 weeks now, with NBG98. All I can say is Yonex has definitely improved on the material used on the paint job, compared to Arc7. I had 3 clashes so far and still no "chip off" or scratches on the racket. :)

    I definitely agreed.
    I had a big clash, and only a small chip and it just the paint came off.
    If it was AT700 I think will most probably break into parts.

    Good job Yonex.

    This is the best position to stick the lead tape on Arcsaber 10, test for 1 hour, feel more "power" will do futher test on Sunday. Thanks for everyone for information.

    Strange?? After sand off, my racket is greyish black. How come yours is white? :D

    Thanks.

    Yes, I am also using BG66.

    I cut the lead tapes into 1cm each, attaching 4 pieces at 10 - 11 O'Clock, and 4 pieces from 1 - 2 O'Clock. Did the same on front and back of the racket.

    Well... for the initial 3 strokes, I slightly missed the sweet spot, but... after that... it is really my world. The smashes are much better than what the AT-700 can generate. I lend my spare racket to my partner who has been using AT-700. At the end of the game, he wanted me to get him an Arc Saber 10, paying me the full amount in advance. Really glad that he like the Arc Saber.

    Thanks.

    Finally another good result from adding the lead tape.
    Last night I played again and couldn't complaint for the racket.
    All perfect now.
    When I switch from Ti-10 to Arch the felling and my smash is even better.

    HKCUA before you told me not to put the lead tape. :rolleyes:
    Now, are you recommend adding the lead tape to arch 10 to gain more power? :D

    You have the same lead tape as mine right? Is it wide enough to put it on the edge on both side? Or you use different lead tape.

    I thought we agree to call it Arch 70 :D:D:D:D

    Chua & Your one are Arch 70 but I stick the lead tape at 12 o'clock position so my one is Arcsaber 10P :D:D:D


    If the end result(probably after few weeks) is really excellent, i am gonna get a Arcsaber 10P JP.

    You are not answering my question, did you use the same Lead tape as mine? or you get different one.

    What ever the name as long as we are happy :D:D:D
    Me, I planned to get 2U version but not soon, need to save some money first.
    pls throw more review on your next play

    I am using Bg68ti at 26-28lbs. Couldn't complaint for the string.
    May be next time I will try BG66sharp (same characteristic with bg68ti with a better repulsion)

    NBG98 is a good string with good repulsion and durability (unless you're Panda), just a little expensive though.

    Depend on what type of player you are.
    All around? More offensive? control player?

    Me, I am an offensive and fast player. Thus thicker string 66sharp, 68ti, 65P will give me advantage.
    In my view, ngy 98 is more to all around string and control (it feels like bg66 in different coating). I tried it before, for me it's not the feeling that I wanted to get for smashing.

    Don't get the 2U version yet. There is a new version of the Arc Saber coming out soon. YONEX had shifted the balance-point further up for heavy users. By then, the lead tapes are not necessary...

    Thanks.
