    Chessy is correct on the top (head heavy) and bottom (head light) after recalling my Japanese katakana alphabet knowledge.. no clue for the left and right. My kanji knowledge is terrible. Hiragana and katakana is all i know

    I am getting conflicting rumors..

    Some birds whisper to me Yonex will not release the new racket until Nov. Others say it will be sold at Japan Open in sept.. Maybe both right? Perhaps announced at JO and then general release in Nov??

    Ants! Help us out here dude :)

    So, are there are any new rackets (other than the recently released ARC7) that are on the horizon for 2008? When does Yonex usually update its line of rackets every year?

    Sweet. I think I may hold on for a little bit, until the new lineup debuts, before springing for a racket upgrade. Hopefully it isn't too long a wait. :)

    common sense say resetting the model numbers too.
    cab 1 to 30
    aerotus 30 to 199 (widebody 30 to aerotus 110)
    isometric 10 to 1000 (slim 10 to isometric 800)
    ti series 1 to 10
    mp series 11 to 100
    armortec 101 to 1000
    nanospeed 1001 to 9999

    arc saber 1 to 50??

    I say Arc Saber 1 to 10. Just like NS7000 for def and NS8000 for off. Arc 7 is for def and Arc 8 will be good for off. Just my guess.
