So after shopping around the local scene, I finally found a good offer on two rackets.
The Arcsaber 5 and the Nanoray 900. Both rackets had a shelf price of over $300 Brunei but the shop assistant (a friend) was willing to give me a good deal on them. Aboyt 60% discount.
I wasn't familiar with either because I have been out of the sport for a very long time but tried both out for a few swings (the most you can do at a shop is hold the racket and do a pose) and the Arcsaber 5 felt better so I took it.
I wanted to do some research before getting it but I wouldn't be able to get the same discount if his boss was at the shop so I pulled the trigger and got the Arcsaber 5. It is being restrung with BG 66 at tension '70' (around 24.5lbs) right now.
I came home and did a search and immediately see loads of reviews and info on the Nanoray 900 but very little on the Arcsaber 5. Is there a reason for this?
Seems like the Nanoray is a much more popular racket but there is relatively nothing on the Arcsaber 5. Was there a problem with the Arcsaber? Should I have gotten the Nanoray instead?
Thanks for any info provided. Cheers
