    Saw it on a Chinese Tiktok video at the Arc7Pro release event, it was just a black racket.

    Hmm as i expected. Lacking Power in the back, but great control in front. I hoped for a little more power compared to the 11 pro. The 11 pro was too stiff for an even balance racket. I hoped the 7 pro could compensate that

    I am wondering how it compares to the original Arc 7 if anyone knows.

    Would help if they could review the racquet with the same string used for their arc11pro review. For all we know it's the exbolt 65 string that is lacking power and not the racquet.

    Racquet looks sexy. :cool:

    Yep, I used my usual string set-up in my review and comparison.

    The 4U is almost 85g though. Almost 3U weight.

    Then the balance point should be on the lower side.

    I've played 2 sessions with the arc7p and it is indeed head lighter than the arc11p. The medium stiff shaft makes the racket really easy to play with

    I hope you can also have a comparison of the Play version and Pro as well.

    Picked 2 in-store today just to see. 84.4g 84.6g and 299mm 299mm. Feels pretty light and fast compared to 11pro, almost similar to NF series.

    @Zoap San would you be buying this racket for a try. Interested in seeing what you think about it.

    Also waiting for the astrox 77 to release

    Just had my first session with the 7 Pro in probably one of the slowest halls for badminton in the UK. Strung with Aerobite Boost at 26lbs.

    Ckyew's video review is spot on. I'd just like to add a few comments.

    It's a fun racket to play with. Incredibly fast, all manner of deceptions can be executed... double movements, holds and flicks at the very last moment etc. Great for front and mid court play. Very easy to defend with and flick or guide the shuttle to where you intend.

    It doesn't have the easy power of a head heavy racket on smashes. However, once or twice I connected with what felt like good technique and delivered some bombs, so the power potential is definitely there.

    Tried it out in a game of singles. It's not a singles racket in my hand. Punch clears were a bit more difficult to execute, smashes were sometimes powder puff and escape shots lacked a bit of length. No doubt players with better technique wouldn't have the same issues. After a few points I had to take my TK6000 out of my bag, then it was game over for my opponent.

    So, no other Pro apart from Pearly, Dechapol and Dongping use this racket? Kitit and Prajongjai from Thailand didnt use this racket unlike what Yonex says on their web's news. Is it gonna be the new 88s pro, does not appealing for pro players?
