    I am using BG66S with my Arc 10 strung at 28LBS X 28LBS (Electronic Constant Pull). Don't worry that the frame will break, this frame seems to be the strongest I ever come across...

    If you like head heaviness, add some lead strips on the frame... 4 cm at 12 O'Clock at both sides of the frame. Then 2cm at both ends of the 4cm strip, do it on both sides. Total you have 8cm on each side, making it 16cm.

    With BG66S, 28LBS X 28LBS, and 8cm of lead strips at each side. I assure you it is certainly more powerful than the AT-700. 'Because I am a player too!!' :D

    Thanks.

    You might as well get NBG98 out of the 2 because it performs better and cost the same.

    Sealman and phandrew, thanks for suggesting it.
    All that 'lead tape' has been moved to the relevant thread.

    i bought arc10 3ug5....bg65ti 27lbs

    i tried the racket twice. The first time was on tuesday where my training campaign held. First impression was good, easier to smash and control if compared with at900P. Drop and net also easier than at900p. Power wise.

    However, on the next day, i took the racket out from my bag and it hits my keychain. The string broke!! then i restring it with bg65 27lbs. I cant get the same feeling as bg65ti. Can anyone explain to me? bg65 suck and bg65ti good?

    May be your tension is too high for BG65, try 26LBS instead.

    Or... try BG66 at 27LBS X 27LBS...

    Thanks.

    BG65Ti has a hard feeling while BG65 has a soft feeling so the difference is a lot.

    for pure power only, i still choose bg-65ti @25lbs or bg-80 or nbg-98 at 24lbs...
    but play badminton isn't just about power...
    so my tension could be different

    you should have try higher tension..even ppl say higher tension less control, but for me arc10 higher tension feel better...

    higher tension = more control
    lower tension = less control

    why don't you try using thinner strings like BG66 or BG80 in higher tension. this might actually give you a better feel. ^_^

    Arcsaber 10

    I will recommend bg66 strung at 13-14kilograms for this racket but i am a stringer myself so maybe it isnt a good idea for people who has to pay a big amount of money for this string because it will break if you misshit semi-hard :D. You should use bg80 if you dont string yourself it is almost as good as bg66. For all you pussies using lead-tape...get some technique :D

    Peter Gade BOLEH !
