thanks for the translation, but by the looks of the chart is says the 900-T is stiffer than the P, i dont think thats right, well at least from what i felt...
here is a link for yonex 08 catalog in japanese from shuttle house, just to show the chart is from official yonex. i think each person's feeling is different. too bad i never try both 900-t and 900-p, so i can say nothing. http://shuttle-house.com/Page_Top_CHINESE/MAIL_ORDER/Meker_Catalog/08_YONEX/MIDDLE/P074.html
well, it's only a recommendation from yonex. i am a beginner ( play badminton only for 1 and half year ), and my first and only racket is ns9000s, which is not recommended for beginner male from the chart.
actually all badminton racket never designed to arm player. train your wrist power first so you can enjoy playing badminton never let your arm playing habit to last. i know it's hard for the first time especially for one who used to do arm playing for a long time. but believe me you can change your style by training it and never depend on the racket to force you to play with your wrist. that's my opinion. hope can be useful for you...
on my arc 10 racket there is a PBSI logo (printed on the cone) is it always there on every yonex racket? thank you
Guys swing harder than girls in general, if they're at the same skill level. AT900T is very fast, hard to time. It'll be difficult to get a lot of power out of it, while it will be able to reward a female player because it will be nice and easy to swing. Just my opinion.
I don't think this has to do with whether one uses arm or wrist to play; ideally, if you can swing the racquet fast, and dont' slice, any racquet will be good for you, in my opinion. While a lot of people play well with wrist, a lot of players also play well with arm; any of these people may love ARC10. For me, I use both my arm and wrist to play, but I use an "arm" racquet (AT700) and a "wrist racquet" (AT900T), but my technique never changes. Just my 2 cents.
not always some have, some dont, depends on the area distribution. if it's around southeast asia likely PBSI logo on the cone available
its not like i dont use my wrist, its just that i feel the speed of my swing does more than snapping my wrist really fast, that what i mean, its not like im using tennis swings or anything
how do you know?? mostly head heavy racquet surely design for arm player instead wrist. Added some wrist power then it'll explode the shot
No racket is meant for arm power. If you aren't using your wrist then you aren't performing good techniques. Get some lessons and a rubbish racket, you'll play better then if you don't have lessons and have a wicked racket.
that's right. no badm. racket is meant to be used with arm power. of course arm is used when playing badm but it is not the main element. wrist is the main component.
what are all these wrist/arm BS. IMO, as long as ur technique make u feel good(power, speed, control) & comfortable, u can use whatever musles u like
Hi Friend, I think it is out of topic already. This is Arcsaber 10 Review not discussing about arm power or wrist. Maybe you guy have to open another tread to discuss about this.
Not yet! . Still happily using my 2 Arc Saber 10. Well... smashing with Arc Saber can be as good as my previous AT-700 (Old), and it is swifter to move around or recovering smashes from opponenets. It is certainly an ideal racket, especially when you are playing doubles. Thanks.
Having played almost 3 sessions now. 1 session 3 hours. Still couldn't find my smash with this arch 10. My friend told me that my smash is much better with ti-10. Except that arch 10 is winner. Now, I am trying to find lead weight tape (like lindan did) to make more head heavy. For me I regret not taking the 2U version, moreover, in SP doesn't have 2U. Any of you guys having same problem? any solution?
adding tape make your arc-10 become at-700 again. so it's should be fair to trade between power vs manouverability
Hallo HKChua.. I think we are in the same style. you know, I am very happy that Yonex invented this kind of racket my play improves so much... i can play (offensively) and defensively with great control something that i didnt have with my armortec 800 off. and I DONT hurt my arm and elbow anymore. I can put the birdie so nicely almost everywhere in the court..... it's amazed me....
