G4.................................................... When will they see that people also want G5s! Oh wait, I see G4 everday (G4TV !!!)
That's good to know, I maybe have to pick-up a few 2Us then. Saaaaay, shouldn't you be processing my order and not posting?
The brown truck runs too fast. I can not catch it and steal boxes off the truck. I am hoping for good news tonight.
the racket his partner was using was Armortec-800 De check it out here if you don't believe me http://yonex.com/badminton/topics/080310.html Oldhand was being silly
If all else fails, have a go here: 1. String BG80 at 26lbs. This will give you a rough equivalent of BG66 at 29lbs. 2. Use 2-pc stringing, with the mandatory use of a true starting knot for the first cross string, which must be at the top. For the other 3 tie-offs, knot it 3 times. 3. If stringer is skilled enough, you can use 30lbs for the first 4 cross strings at the top and then go down to 28.6lbs for the remaining crosses. 4. Use 26lbs for the mains. 5. Take a measurement of the length of your racquet before stringing (Yonex specs 674mm but optimum specs 675mm), and then take a second measurement after stringing. The 2 measurements should be identical. If not tell the stringer off and look for another better one the next time.
taneepak, thanks for the tips. I was hoping to try the NBG 98 But my stringer doesn't have it Perhaps I will go back to BG 80
Does anyone have both the Arcsaber 7 and the Arcsaber 10? How do they compare? I'm playing with an arcsaber 7 right now and waiting on the 10. is it make a difference and worth it?
Different people have different opinions.. some say that the arcsaber 7 and the arcsaber 10 performs exactly the same way, but some say that the arcsaber10 is the best yonex racquet ever.
I've played with the ARC Saber 10 several times...getting used to it now.. A good all rounder racquet, but abit lack of power compared to my Nano 8000? or maybe i still haven't got the right swing when smashing... Had BG65@25pounds.....or maybe i should try other strings?
Have been using this racket extensively now for quite a while. Tested it with almost every Yonex string other than the Cyber 100. Generally I feel that anything that is 0.7mm is too thick i.e. BG65, 65ti, 70. Racket feels a bit "dead" and not so responsive particularly at high tension. Mine is at 30x32lbs. Personally I feel the ones at 0.68/0.69mm is ideal. That includes the 68ti, 80, NG95. The 85 is OK but at that price not really worth it. Not that many people like this string anyway. BG66 feels good when it's fresh but will loose tension quite quickly and durability will be quite an issue too. At the end of day, that's my opinion. People otu there shoudl try it for themselves!
just getting arch 10 last night 3UG5, string with 68ti 26-28lbs. Forget to weight the balance point. any one share the BP? Tonight will give it a try. I will share my feeling tomorrow on this weapon.
Arc 10 3uG4 Balance point 30cm with very thin overgrip and BG85. I#m disappointed because i want a even balance.
Just want to share my review on Arch 10 Arch 10 3UG5, Bg68ti, 26-28lbs Game played 1 set (1x30) I am trying to play fast with this weapon. chops are very easy and accurate, the power also there. netting is no problem at all, push shot was also done very easy and fast. I realize that half smash from front court was quick and powerful, the racket seems to work well with my wrist. Defending smash also no problem at all. 2 set (1x30) Now is my turn to play at the back court. I tried to smash as hard as I could do. First it wasn't easy at all, I think I swung to fast, thus I missed the sweet spot. I used to play with Ti-10 and honestly it's different racket and feel. Need time to adjust timing on the smash. Btw when it hit on the sweet spot "Bang", the power was there. I think I need more time to get the full potential of this weapon on smashing. For me I think is better getting 2U for more power, or maybe I can put something (like lindan did on his frame) to generate more power. On my hand this 3U is so so so light. general overview, is excellent all around racket. Good for doubles especially when playing fast and push shot. Power is there but not that extraordinary. For me Power = 9 Defense = 9.5 Control = 9.5 Manuver = 9.5 Will review more on the smash power as the time goes by.
2U arc10 28lbs BG80 manuverability: 8.5 For a 2U racket, it is only second to NS7000,etc. control: 9 Outstanding in every way, though not as good as those control-oriented ones. power: 9 Outstanding, almost as good as the most powerful ones. However, note that it is not a stamina-efficient racket at all. other things to be noted: I would say this racket might be the best all-round racket to the present time if u got used to it. With the fast swingspeed and it's heavy weight & balance, it has a great chance to lead to injury and fatique.
3U arc10 28lbs BG80 Manuverablilty: 9.5 Slower than ARC7 by a very small margin. power: 8.5 better than 3U NS9000-S by a small margin, but the frame is more stable. control: 9.5 It's in the best group. other things to be noted: Though not as powerful as the 2U ARC10, it is easier to manuver and generate power which is still moderate. Balance and weight is still heavier than other rackets. But with the combination of not-too-stiff shaft, I think most players can manage with it without difficulties.
I have played with this arc 10 for about 1 month and I feel that this is an excellent racket. I can recommend this baby for you badminton lover. power = 9.0 defense = 9.5 control = 9.0 maneuverability = 9.0 I will stick to this racket for a long time...
