    Hi,

    I'm a league player in the UK and am looking to replace my Arc10.

    I'm looking for power and control, play level mens doubles and tend to be the aggressive player in the partnership, taking the smash whenever possible!

    Looking for your thoughts on which racket you guys think is the best of the 3!!

    Looking at Arc 8DX, Li-Ning N50 0r N70, or the victor bs 11!

    Any information gratefully received!

    Thanks!:D

    well cant say about the li ning, the Arc 8DX i hear is fantastic. but i have to say, since going to watch the all england this year, and seeing about 4-5 of the korean team have rackets break, like fully racket snap at the shaft or fly straight out of the cone, iv lost any confidence in Victor rackets.

    i mean if they are meant to get first pic of the rackets, and have the best quality control for their rackets, i would worry about what would happen for us consumers?

    what do you think? also i would think about Apacs lethal 70, probably half the price of those yonex or li ning rackets.

    I don't think you could go wrong with any of those (they are all good offensive rackets suitable for doubles).. N50-II could be a killer as well :)

    Victor BS11 is great for doubles but not as much for singles

    N50 is excellent in doubles
    powerful but not too head heavy
    N50II supposedly a bit heavier with same bp for more power

    I was going to get the ns9900 but ended up with the arc10, just felt better in the hand!!

    Well until someone smashed his racket head into the shaft of it!!!

    Why are you looking to replace the Arc 10?

    If you like it, why not just get another one?

    this is what I am talking about , if you like the racket so much , why dont you just get another arc 10 instead of changing to a different racket that you are not sure of . at league level , I doubt any of those racket would make much difference in to the play.

    Bravesword 11 - Singles, Doubles, anything you want

    If not, try the n70 or one of the AT900's. Z-slash is brutal..

    For Double play: I recommend victor brave sword 9 & 10 .. B.S 9 is more of a front player push and tap on the net.. B.S 10 is of a attacking smash. If cash is not a concern for u , i would recommend Li ning N50.

    the armortec900p is the best at all out attacking weapon in doubles. :D

    pros like LCW and LD switches at times but end up with the AT900P (until the chinese li-ning came out) because of the stability at impact, and power.

    can you lend me your arc10?? i can't afford a real yonex. both mine are $20 counterfeit. i added weight to obtain more stability. haha.
