ArcSaber 8 DX
- Thread starter bad_fanatic
- Start date
most importantly, how much is it? if it's some unbelievable price then chances are it's a fake.
linking people to the actual post in the particular thread is useful too.

I saw it, and for the price AND serial, the Arc 8 looks legit. :]

SP coded is 1100HKD
e-mail them at ptt78@yahoo.com.hk and ask for total price including shipping
should be $175USD maximum, probably less

Who is Prospect's crazy varsity one guy?
How are Victor Chen and Dennis Lin doing? I haven't played with them in months...
Played a few good sessions with it, and I must say the 8DX is a superb racket!
It feels incredibly solid and has a good amount of power. I completely agree with Paul Stewart's review where he says that the 8DX is a racket that "feels familiar"; it just feels like a racket you've played with for quite a while. While the racket isn't as fast the the PPT2, I didn't suffer much in terms of defense. One thing that really left an impression on me is it's great net dominance. I wasn't particularly shining with the touch shots at the net (probably b/c I still need to restring) but my net kills and intercepts became much deadlier. I can see why Lars Paaske uses this racket!

by far the most demanding racket i played with,after 3 games never had I feel so fatigue around my wrist,personally i feel it is stiffer than ns9900 and at900t strung at almost similar tension (arc8dx at 27,ns9900 and at900t at 26),altho i do extensive weight training for my wrist, but it does tired u out easily, the balance of power,accuracy,control, i rate it closer to ns9900 than at900p/t,somehow it feel like a hybrid ns9900+at900p
www.mauricerobinsonsports.com has the arcsaber 8dx at 124.99 Euros (free stringing / free re-gripping) (+ 5 Euros shipping) (or $166 CAD) not bad of a deal. Looks like this is going to be my next racket once I get those paycheques coming in 
Does anybody have their mains @ 22lbs and crosses @ 24lbs?
Would this be a good for shuttle and feather? Or should it be lower?

Give it a try, then try at least 24/26...I'm sure you'd like it more.

Sometimes...I feel ashamed of being Chinese.
