Yonex ArcSaber Z Slash Review

It's looks like z-slash is quite challenging, hehehe. But my friends play with it with no comment, i mean they directly enjoy it. May be need to try by my self.

 

It is an excellent racket, have been using it for every session.

Thanks.

 

Well, unlike many of you I only have one high end racket which is my Arc-Z, My other racket a is low / mid range Karakal. So right now I am loving my Arc-Z even though I always hit right above the sweet spot or the frame T_T =). I have a tournament in about a week to get us to this racket and I play 6 times a week... so still waiting to get used to it

 

Arc Z - I'm lovin' it

 

Just got it last night. Using BG66 Maxima 26 Lbs. Cann't wait to try it tonight. Hopefully there is no problem switching from At900T.

 

oh boy, enjoy the transition!

 

It really depends. I have a AT900T too. I have a hard time to get used to my Arc Z (accumulated 27 hours of play and counting)
But i must say, once you made up your mind to just stick to this racket for the whole session, it kinda works (Psychological effects? )
But it's well worth it. The reward it brings once you get used to it is just amazing. Solid, offensive, fast play.
NEVER GIVE UP

 

omg, this really scares me especially if u come over to kajang to have some match with me some day

 

maybe afterwards can go eat kajang sate too .........

 

hahaha no worries. i am a very good boy. Like i said u will laugh at my badminton skills.

As for Satay Kajang, i Thot it will be on limsy

 

Is there any video of this world record from Tan?

 

i red somewhere in the forum that ants will upload that recorded world record made by tbh to youtube if he's free.
maybe u would wanna pm him for more info

 

I did, i hope he will share the video if he has someone.

 

I've got a 2ug5 with nbg98 at 27lb too jumpin on the net shot. May I change it to bg66maxima,how do u feel ants?

 

I have to say that I don't like the Z-Slash as much as the ARC-10. To me, the racket feels stiffer, but not as head heavy. Really solid feel, but yet a bit numb on the feed back.

 

If it feels numb it's probably the strings, because Yonexes as a rule have great feedback and connection with the hit.

I will say something after having a good hit last night - I do now agree with some people on here who have commented that they wish the shaft of the ZS was a bit stiffer. It has great head stability, but some of that stability is diminished by a medium stiff shaft.

It could just be a reflection on how my game or my references have changed, but I think if they went back to slightly thicker shaft the ZS would be extra awesome, and I honestly don't think the speed around the court would suffer.

 

there is a pretty good explanation of the large difference in speed records from Fu and Tan here:

Good review, I reckon you've hit the nail on the head.
