Matt, you are still the king. Long live the king. Please post your review so I don not have to buy more to test them out... Thanks!
I will be able to use it in about 4 hours from now. Just had it stringed up today. The arc saber case look a bit odd design!!
I call it banana. It was supose to be like a saber. However, the little thing on the side is good for over grip, keys or cell phone.
Yes, good for a key or a pack of overgrip. Cell phone fits too. However, I will not leave any valuable in it because if someone steal your racquet with the bag, you lose your key, cell phone and a racquet.
finally tried the arc saber today..currently using a 2uG4..this racket has realli nice control n makes finesse shots a lot easier than my at900t..only downfall seems to be that it lacks so whip / power..=)
I just came back from my Sunday morning badminton club. Here is my review of the Arc7. The US coded Arc7 is 3UG4, even balanced. The racquet is strung with Bg80 at 23 lb. From the design, it is a little twin of NS8k. An interesting observation, if you hold the frame from both side and press on the sweet spot, you can see the frame bend. It look fine, nothing too flashy. Arc7 has great control. I would say it has better control than NS9k-x. I believe it is due to the new t-joint. Directional control is very good. Great net shot and back court drop. In fact, back court drop was so good that it keep hitting the tape and tumble over the net. A very "LUCKY" racquet. Smash and clear suffered. I have problem get powerful smashes in. (Yeah, I am weak) Need extra push to clear it from baseline to baseline. Unlike NS8k clear and smash easy. I won my smash point by location and direction. Not speed or power. Conclusion: A great racquet for defensive player. Best word to describe it "SMOOOOTH". Use BG85 at 20X22 lb for more power. 22X24 if you have the power.
From the evil empire. The Devil send it to me. It fell off the truck. From a warehouse in California. Take your pick.
I tried my 3UG5 JP today. I definately like the racket. It's feel quite light and control is very good. Power wise is a bit weak so, it would need more power and speed to get it going. Stringed up 26.5/25.5 with Nanogy98.
I just saw one at Lees today. Very nice looking racquet, looks nice and sleek. Can't comment on it's performance because I didn't try it out, but the balance felt nice.
in comparison with the At900T, how much more power would be lost? (i think Matt should know the answer to this )
