    you're right :)
    i'm just curious wether there are single players that endorse it or not.

    Im even more curious wether there are players who pick this DX to be their trusty sword on their tournament play. Since pro's trusty at least mean it is a worthy racket. For example AT-700 and Arc-10 is well known to be used by many top pro players

    Used the Arc8DX last night...loved it in all aspects. A fellow player loved it more so I sold it to him!!! Will get another one strung today, but @ my favourite tension of 26/28#s. The one sold was @ 27/29#s and I could feel the difference, even just one #.....would have been ok a week later tho.

    Here is one: http://anonym.to/?http://www.badmintonarena.nl/product_info.php?pn=yonex-arcsaber-8dx-frame-g3&$cPath=50_51_107&products_id=8050
    Here is another from Belgium: http://anonym.to/?http://www.nicoclaes.com/shopdetail.php?id=2227103

    Both also have the SHB-85 shoe I believe ...

    €149 with strings: http://anonym.to/?http://www.regeersport.nl/index.php?page=product&productid=1390

    All three aren't exactly the cheapest around but I haven't seen much price competition on the Z-Slash or 9900 either so it will probably be €140-ish for a while.

    The ArcSaber 8DX has a good solid feel. It is a Male version of Arcsaber 9.

    No comparison(used both). I'd say it's a A900/Arc10 combo stick...love it!:D

    Just wondering, what would be the main similarities and differences between the 8DX and the 10? I'm looking to finally get new rackets to slowly replace my MP99s. I know the 10 is a good replacement but how would the 10 compare with the new 8DX?
