    finally had a go today but was not use to it as it wasn't my primary racquet. despite that, first impression was how light it was!! :eek: was able to generate sufficient power and it's quick on drives and defense.
    will need to play with it more before i can find it's positives. today i was impressed and maybe the JP version will come when my next salary comes out :p

    I think we should refer to it as the Arc 7, as pointed out by Silentheart
    :D:D:D

    A local shop is selling the ARC7 for AU$235. The bag that comes with the ARC7 looks really S**T. What was yonex thinking.

    I thought that the usual plastic cases are more valuable than the cloth cases. My friend offered NZ$8 for my cloth case which came with my Mp40 JP, and then the next day, another friend of mine offered her Armortec Case for it. :eek:
    The good thing about the cloth cases is that er.. it can carry more racquets, atleast 4 racquets, while the usual ones can only carry up to 2 to 3. And the cloth cases are only available with the JP ones, right ? :D

    Yes, the JP only comes with a cloth case for high-end rackets. Well I didn't assume you would put more rackets in a case, just hte normal 1 to 1.

    I usually only ask for the racket (no strings, bag or grips) when I buy rackets...:)
    I string my own rackets, have my own stock of grips and don't need a bag for every single racket I own...;)
    This usually gets me further reduction in price, which is all good...:D:D:D

    How much did he buy it for in NewZealand ? If he/she bought it at the KLRC WJC at the Waitakere Trust Stadium, wouldnt it be a complete rip-off ? O_O

    Oh and btw, do you have any idea whether it's NZ coded or not ? Cuz the usual JP case doesnt have an extra small pocket.

    Just played with my Arc7 this morning.. I like the control of the racket and it is easy to swing but lack of power..

    I'm using RSL cloth case, cuz I don't have the yonex cloth..:D
