Been playing with this racket recently and it is a dream to play with. I felt so comfortable with it from the first clear onward. bp is 290mm strung and overgripped with RKEP G09. So it's slightly head heavy, heavier end of even balance.

Difference will be around 5g but in a badminton game, that is something. When you hold a 2u and 3u, you definitely can tell the weight difference
i have another question here. is the arc11 lighter than the arc10 when i try both racket...seems arc11 lighter. please advice. thanks..
Depends on it's weight , it you're comparing 4U , 3U , and a 2U then it does. Arc10 feels lighter to me though
I just bought the TH Arc 11, very happy with it, I also have an Arc 10 & 2Nite I will yield my new Excalibur 4 the first time !!
Allright, so I tried the arc 11 yesterday I am not experienced in racket reviews but I'll just give my two cents Well, I loved it! It feels stiffer than the 10, and I really needed to adjust to the heavier head - I was too slow on several occasions. But when I got a little more used to yhe slightly slower speed of the racket, things were beginning to look up. I had it strung with BG80 @ 20lbs. I might go up to 21 lbs next time, but my technique is not good enough for too high a tension. Also, my stringer lives at a distance so I want to decrease the risk of having to restring too often. 22-24 Lbs is actually my favourite tension but then it just breaks too often. but back to the topic! drops were lovely, lots of feel, and I dare say more so than the arc10. Smashes felt great, the sonic metal really works ...however the heavier head seems to take away some of the feel of the smashes. That being said, I had some experience with sonic metal from the V80, and it sure is nice to have that 'snapping' smash feel again clears are easier (due to lower tension than my arc 10 and heavy head of course), drives are a bit harder, again, because the head is somewhat heavier, it actually makes more of a difference than I originally thought! Overall, I really liked playing with it. It is more a singles racket for me though. A lot of people say that the Arcsaber 11 is just an improved arc10, but it's really not. It's a different racket and if you switch over from an arc10 to an arc11, take into account some time to adjust! Hope this helps you somewhat in making your choice. Peace
head heavy?? why my arc11th feel so light??compare to arc10pg. hahahahaha or due to i use vt80 previously that makes the difference??
Weird my Arc 10 is head heavier than any Arc 11 I've tried. It's also heavier than the Arc 10 pg I demo'd.
by the way I have to give a shout out to my buddy Edwin of www.badmintongear.nl superb stringing as always & excellent service
