    I rather choose voltric 80 it is more advance than the arcsaber z slash ... v80 technology was quite superb and advance from the late release of yonex Visit my blog

    I miss my (sold) Arc Z-Slash for its smashing prowess. It's like no other in the smashing department only!

    I agree thats why I prefer the Z Slash to the Voltric 80
    the speed of your smash is very fast although you have to get used to it
    The racket is amazing

    ive used both the arc z and the vt 80, and i find that the head heaviness to be a big change since its the first head heavy racket ive used. It takes a while to get used to but its still a very powerful racket. I dont think that its a strong as the arc z but its more consistant. if u like head heavy rackets and are an offensive style player, then vt 80 is a good racket to consider. but until i get used to the vt head heaviness i prefer the arc z for now

    Thats very true
    but the Voltric 80 that I used wasn't that head heavy.
    It is certainly more consistent then the Arcsaber Z Slash but when you get used to the timing it is find.
    I think the Arcsaber is more of a Singles racket but also is the voltric 80 as well as doubles (4U version)

    I owned the Z-Slash and SiW35 at the same time once (sold the Z Slash though) and to this day I still remember fondly of the Z Slash's smashing prowess even though SiW35 is a beast on its own. I am sure the Z Slash is king when it comes to (precise) smashes, way better than my beloved SiW35 (perhaps the best there is/was) but then SiW35 is a lot better than the Z Slash in all other categories...

    It might have advanced technology but the Arcsaber Z Slash has a smaller frame allowing it to cut through the air
    making the smash faster.

    I know what you mean I have the Arcsaber Z Slash but it broke while playing doubles :(
    I regret playing with it when playing with a partner which wasn't that good.
    I asked this question because I wanted to know what people on the forum thinks about it

    Exactly! That is the main point you are talking about there;). ...cuts through the air like no other. I'd find it hard to believe that the MX80's OCTOBLADE aerodynamics is better that than of Z Slash. It should play better in the overall category but downright smashing? uh-uh, no way!

    What!!
    Arcsaber Z Slash all the way !! the Z Slash helps in defensive when the opponents are smashing but the smaller head makes it harder to control.

    Not sure if the pitch of the swing means the speed but comparing the rackets that I have swing sound wise, they go in order from lowest to highest

    AT900T<NS9000X<ARC8DX<PP T2<ARCZS<MX80

    I have both rackets.
    Both rackets are Great.
    And I like the colour scheme of the ARC-Z very much.^^
    Arc-Z can produce a faster swing speed, but the smaller sweet spot and a bit less forgiving, I prefer VT80.
    VT80 can produce a powerful Smash, effortless Clear and consistent net shot.
    You can see that there is only a few players use ARC-Z but
    it is getting more players use VT80 in both single and double.
    eg.Single: Lee Chong Wei, Peter Gade, Viktor Axelsen
    Double:Mathias Boe, Hiroyuki Endo, Kenichi Hayakawa,Naoki Kawamae, Shoji Sato

    Maybe that's ture , but you will get used to a racket easier if the racket really suits you.
    I believe Arc ZS th 3U is actually heavier than Arcsaber 10 3U (Due to the lenght of the shaft , I think), but not as heavy as Arcsaber 2U (just a little bit lighter than Arc 10). I will say Arc ZS th has a weight of 2.5U
