Yes, i agree with u, arc11 really lack of power for me, hard to lift the shuttle, defense also hard to do, i only like the feel but the shuttle cant go faster, i cant play aggresive game when play doubles, netting also hard, really different from zforce, i prefer zforce more, just my opinion, thanks
it depends on your racquet handling and how the racquet "feels" to you, which is more important than control and power you should try the VT80PG, i've never found a racquet that i could generate such efficient power transmission, not even with the regular vt80, nor the vtzf both limited and regular. the arc11's fine for me too, it smashes and hits really loud, for both the vt80 and arc11, lifts, lobs, punches etc are rather effortless. defence and agility wise the arc 11 's quicker than the 4U vt80pg, which is quicker than the 3u vt80pg. i find the 4u-VT80pg a good compromise
I'm not surprised by your findings. I find my Duoforce to be faster than the 3U/4U Voltric 80 and 4U AT800 DE.
there are many racquets that are faster than the above mentioned.. i.e. the gosen issen is extremely aerodynamic and agile for a head heavy racquet
selling to get the TH version.. there's nothing wierd/bad about the arc11 red, its quite enjoyable to use
Exactly as advertised. I'm an Arc 10 player and just played the Arc 11 for the first time today. The Arc 11 is SLIGHTLY heavier in my mind which does create a bit more power. I used to play with the Z Slash as well but always ended up going back to my Arc 10 because I felt like I had better control at the net and my drop shots were cleaner and more crisp. The Arc 11 still has the same net feel as the Arc 10 but definitely gives off a different PING sound when you hit it which makes it feel like you're hitting harder. Arc 11 with BG80 at 26lbs is what I play. Highly recommended racquet! Brandon
Just bought arc 11 recently. Love the feel of this racket. Gives me better control and perform better drops. Felt that i'm able to swing fast due to its balanced weight. Smashing is not too hefty too. I've tried heavier head rackets for smashing, but it makes me tire off easily. Currently it's my fav racket! had it tied with BG66U at 25lbs..
I had Arc 11 and Arc 11 TH for side-by-side comparison. For me, the normal Arc 11 looks better by miles. But there might be an appeal of TH edition for some people since he's retiring and it's a limited edition.
