    APACS clone of AT900T is called Nano 900 Power (N900P or NP900). ARC10 clone is called Edgesaber 10 (ES10). Both are at least $50 USD.

    Hmmm, I saw the picture of the racquet bag and it doesn't seem like it is made of the same material as mine. Is that the ARC10 bag you have in the background ? The material in your case is made of shiny PU but mine has a texture to it.

    Not too sure if the bag is different for different region.

    BTW, where did you buy your racquet ?

    More info needed.
    I see you have another arc10 with broken strings. Sure it hasn't been swung real hard?

    The yonex bag looks leathery, but it ain in the shape of the normal leather bags but more of the shape of an arc10 bag - but it's not made of fabric.

    Oh dear, picutures like these above break my heart. It is hard to see destroyed racquets.

    Got the Arcsaber 10 about a month ago, and i realized that I swing way faster than any other racket I have tried. I struggled for the first few hours that i played just because i would swing too fast, and started injuring my shoulder. After a while however I adjusted to it, and smashed harder and with more control than any other racket that I have tried. I guess for all rackets that you buy, you just have to be willing to adjust a little bit without rejecting it right away. Unfortuantely I feel the paint chips of way too fast. havent gotten in any seirous clashes, or many in total for that matter, but pretty much every slight clash has resulted in paint chipping and even frame shots have been disasterous.

    Fake racket

    When I saw the racket bag you have, I guarantee that your arcsaber is 100% fake. Because I have it. :D. I have bought 2 (Arcsaber 10 and 7). Just wondering how clever they clone the Arcsaber. I feel bad by having bought the rackets as I do not support any FAKE thing.
    I was really very curious, then I checked in ebay. I found many-many fake stuff there. I have no idea why Ebay does not control the originality of the sellers. Anyway, first I contacted the seller as some racket named strangely like ARMDRTEC instead of ARMORTEC. And when I asked the originality of those rackets, the seller said "Oh it's almost like the original one and I have tried by myself. Really not so much different, he convinced me. I finally ordered Arcsaber 10 and 7 costs me around US$ 86 for both (including the shipment fee). I have them now in my badminton bag and they are not good at all. It's really better to buy cheap racket BUT original. Do not have to be Yonex. Many different rackets are now you can find in the shops. It depends on the person who use the racket. So, let's STOP supporting any fake product from now on. Peace!

    It's impossible to stop people selling fake yonex rackets on ebay because they will just make another account. There are people out there who are probably dumb enough to buy a yonex at such a cheap price knowing it is too good to be true.
