    Lol! I couldn't say I'm exactly the first. Maybe on the forum but outside of that.

    Sure, I just got last night so I will play with it in the afternoon. Mainly test swinging around, it feels a tiny bit more head heavier swing feel than the Arc7.

    Visual looks, the frame looks more solid as it is thicker (which would explain the higher recommended string tension) and the shaft is thinner than Arc7 and appears to be just as thin at Z-Slash.

    That depends who you're speaking to. If one is making good money, then money is not an issue, but for people who do not, then that is a different story and your comment above will apply. For me it does not, you know why...

    That's just part of it.

    Go have a look at my high-end audio/video equipment I have in the house. :D I won't post those since they are not relevant to this forum. However if you go on AVS Forums, you may see actual pics of my A/V if you who I am there.

    I like how its all Yonex except the new Mizuno Wave Fang shoes. I'm surprised you don't have a few packs of the special edition BG66. Will you ever use the Arc100?

    You mean the Mizuno "Wave Fang SP" shoes since are 2E, "Wave Fang" is 3E. Just tried them on on and, they feel more fit to my feet, even thou I do like the Mizuno Wave Smash SG3 which I currently use. Won't switch to Wave Fang SP unitl I wear these out first. The Wave Fang SP shoe is lighter.

    Naa, it was not worth purchasing the string just for hte packaging. I will be using Arc 100 LTD but it will not be the JP. I will be using the CD ones because I use G4 and JP only comes in G5. The G5 will be my collector racket as well as one CD in G4, other CDs, I will use.

    That's because you had to reserve from either place months ago. They should be comming for regions as well, including yours.

    You can't exaclty order from them. Plus, I'm under NDA so I can't go into details.

    Hehe the box has the name Yonex might
    not be direct from Yonex. It can be a reused box from
    the supplier. Yonex box is common in most badminton supply shops in japan.
