    I took some photos of my friend's racket - the Impact ArcForce 10, another clone of the Yonex Arc Saber 10.

    another clone?? >.>"

    It looks almost identical to the real thing! & the name sounds good.
    'ArcForce 10.'
    looks good, but got any specs on the playability?

    And the Impact logo looks like Cathay Pacific.. that airplane..

    I have tried a couple of impact rackets. They are rather weak at the shaft. I tried the bamboo power and at900 clone before. Both broke at the shaft.:(

    maybe because it has a bamboo shaft? :rolleyes:

    edit:
    thats a really good-looking non-yonex racket.

    Well so far the Edgesaber10 from apacs has proven to be up to standard as a clone of Arc10.... having so many cloned version is getting ridiculous... even the paint job is so close I wonder if it's all from the same factory ^^

    I must disagree on the "weak shaft" aspect :eek:
    Although I haven't used the clones, I have used the Impact Bamboo Power... and it's a very versatile racquet. What I don't like, however, is its lightness.

    Very identical, very hard to recognize the different, except the logo.
    dunno about the material.
    I tried Edge Saber 10. Worth it to buy.
    even though I could notice the material was different from its original counterpart.

    he bought it from a coach for S$50 (unstrung). i ordered one too.

    i understand from a reliable source that both apacs and impact versions are produced from the same factory.

    The other clone of AS 10 is Protech Power Saber 10. Absolutely looking similar except the logo. 4U but slightly heavy n solid than AS 10. The price only RM 109 at HE Bangi + string + grip. Tension can go up t0 30 lbs.

    I think the price is vary depending on the country.
    In Indonesia the price is cheaper. But of course we need to pay extra for the delivery.
    In Indonesia the clone is Apacs Edge saber 10 price around $40-45.

    Looks really nice...seems like the finishing is even better than the Apacs clone...heard from a friend that the feel is more solid as compared to the Apacs version which is more hollow....not sure how true...anyway for $50, sounds like its worth a try....will ask my friend where he got it from perhaps.....
