    Agreed. My friend's arc10 claimed the lives of 2 rackets the other day.

    Oh dear, that looks bad. I'm sorry for your loss. Did you get a refund from your friend? How did he break it? Clash/mishit? We're very curious...

    Jep, as far as I know, you are the first. I'm not sure if you should be happy about that. ;)

    Has this "New-age racket" broken all records for surviving this long after it's been launched? :rolleyes: You usually hear about breakages very quick after a racket is launched. This ArcSaber 10 held it out quite well then :D

    Ill probably sell my armortec and just go with ti-10's or get arcsaber 10.

    But i thought i liked the armortec 900 tech, but when i tired out the arc saber 10 i loved it so much compared to the 900. Now i just cant play with the 900. My drop shots are horrible.

    I dunno how you guys clashed the racket. if the clash was pretty dame hard, of course any racket will broke.
    However my friend (big shop) has told me that so far he hasn't heard any claim for the racket yet.
    BTW sorry to hear that, pls throw your experience on how you clash the racket. Is it consider big clash? or you just thing that the product is defect.

    Same here.

    If the racket were to break when hiting shuttles, it is a manufacturing defect. If the racket were to break upon clashing with other rackets, well.... is co-ordination defect. :D

    Thanks.

    The strongest racquets that can withstand racquet clashes better than any other type are racquets made from kevlar. Kevlar racquets have very high compressive strength with respectable young's modulus.

    well, my friend hit me one his forehand while i was doing a back hand clearance (center ball). both time... but i have to say, paint is excellent compared to mp99. godd get another one. he's paying! good enough... 'it's like trying out a racquet and i liked it. so i get to replace it with a new one.' :D might get an armotec 900 tech. i tried my friend's. seem like the same. what do you guys think?

    I would not be happy with racket beaking within a month of play. Yonex typically has bad record on durability and this racket seems to follow the trend.

    But the frame on the arc saber is 30% smaller then an armortec. If am not mistaking.

    arcsaber10 a durable racquet

    Believe me when I say that arcsaber10 is remarkably strong racquet, I have broken 2 nanospeed9x already in a span of 1 year, but with arcsaber10 I already have 2 casual clashes and I was surprise that there wasnt even a paint chip. Kudos to Yonex arcsaber 10 is a very tough racquet. I just wish they would release a light head racquet like nanospeed9 but just as tough as arcsaber10.
