    Arc Saber Z Slash

    Hi Guys,
    Look like left-handers are better smashers than right-handers man.:eek: Both Fu Hai Feng n Tan are all left-handers!:p
    Lee:D

    tckang,

    absolutely get it regarding personal rankings; we are all different--besides you have definite say in your "own" rankings system.

    how much are the Zelms? specially trixon 8.

    since you mentioned this will be your first winter in beijing, would you string lower (by how much?) than you normally do in tropical weather?

    Kind regards,
    MetalOrange

    Fu Haifeng would still be considered as the fastest smasher because his was done during gameplay compared the controlled test conditions from the other players. Now if we could see how fast Fu's smash in a test condition or others in match condition by the other players, that would be more of a fair comparision.

    Or they could just do a "test" with their current racket line... Pretty sure FHF given enough chances with his N50 probably could top or equal the mark... But I still think anything done outside of the actual game itself shouldn't be used to calculate the performance of a racket... Just look at those long drive competition in golf, yes, they can drive the ball 400+ or 500 yards, but they still suck compared to Tiger Woods...

    The Zelm i got it from Sgbad, who is also our fellow forum members. PM him if you are interested. SGD130 (racket + 2 Ts + Cloth bag + Karakal grip + string). Shipment cost you need to work it out with him.
    This is my SECOND winter in Beijing d. Anyway, to counter the cold dry weather, i normally change to the thicker BG65, maintaining it at my regular 29lbs. So far it works. The other alternative will be NBG98 but in China, NBG98 is not available, so cheapest and realistic solution is to change to BG65 during winter, while not sacrificing your tension.
    :D

    Arc ZS after 20 hours play

    After accumulated 20 hours of play using the Arc Z i must say.......i am starting to LIKE IT!!!.
    I dunno how to put it, this afternoon everything just click in. The smash, the overhead clears, the drives, even the net plays, net kiils, drops. And the best "feel" is once everything clicked, ur overall game play actually speed up a lot. It was noticed even by my club captain.
    Hope this is because finally i got used to the Arc Z and the reward it brings, Will test again this Tuesday to make sure it wasnt a ONE OFF lucky day for me.
    Till then, stay tune.....

    TODAY MY ARC Z ROCKS BIG TIME!!!
