    Stiffness that different?

    I've never tried the ARC10 for more than a few shots, but I've been told they were almost identical (more or less ARC11 being the new version of ARC10).

    I think both are pretty neutral in balance - perhaps ARC11 is very slightly head heavy. I usually play VT70 and that is clearly more head heavy balance, so to me ARC11 feels balanced.

    If they made the head heavier going from 10 to 11, they would have to stiffen up the shaft a bit to give the same perceived flexibility.


    Cheers,

    From the chart. If zspeed is like a 10, zf2 maybe a 9.8, arc11 probably a 8.5..
    Arc10 is probably a 7.5

    Like a version 2 upgrade of arc10.

    Stiff is good. Haha I like stiff shafts.

    Played with Arc10 for a few games and Arc11 for about 2 months.
    This will not be a fair comparison but I try my best.

    Stiffness, both similar.
    Balance: Arc10 even. Arc11 slight head heavy/even-balanced.

    one thing on tension on Arc11.
    I played 25lbs and now 28lbs.
    28lbs plays better for me. The strikes are more focused.

    You are using the black or lcw duora?
    you gotta work harder with arc11 than duora 10.

    Arcsaber 10 and 11 are rackets that requires more input from the user. Haha means better technique, more pronation, more wrist.

    It seems that arc11 feels a lot better with 27lbs and up.

    Hi bro: I using the green/orange Duroa 10 (Legend Vision LCW).. I bought that due to the original Duroa 10 no stock. The stringer Chris told me the legend series Duora 10 power powerful than Original Duora 10. I have used it . not that bad.

    I had not used Duroa 10 before, I have no idea, you can do a research on it here, currently i using the legend series, which I feel is quite good, I had no regret getting it , it costs me $205.

    I used both, and seems to me that the Duora 10 Legends Vision has more flex and is more head heavy than standard Duora 10. Still, you should try it out yourself as this is only my opinion and what I experienced.

    Simple answer: it doesn't have a 4U, only comes in 3U.

    Lose your minds people, guess who loves blue and has held on a blue racquet for like an eternity? Now that's he's signed on, what better way to celebrate than to fire up the ol' production line with an exisitng mould and do a dedicated version?

    (Allegedly.)
