    I am now getting a balanced racket as a backup for my main and also singles play. Which of the balanced racket mentioned (Arc 11 Pro, DriveX 10 Metallic, Halbertec 8000) would be suitable?

    For some context, I am using Astrox 88S Pro (4U) as my main, and a front to mid-court type player who focuses more on defence, driving and counter-attacking.

    I have arcsaber 11 pro and dx10 metallic both 3u. Depends on what you prefer, if you prefer more control also longer shuttle hold it would be arcsaber 11. If you prefer more repulsion and slightly more power go with dx10 but dx10 shaft is more flexible so if you prefer stiffer racket go with arc11. Cant comment on halbertec since i don't have it

    Halb8000 plays exactly like a slightly head heavier Arc7pro would. In conclusion a flexible and headlighter arc11pro

    I recently switched from Arc 11 Pro to Halbertec 8000 and it feels like an absolute upgrade. The biggest difference I would say is the smash power (I'm not a big smasher). Control with Halbertec 8000 is excellent as well.

    For mid to front court defence, driving and counter-attacking, I would suggest Nanoflare 800pro 3U.

    Personally likes it way better than the Arc11pro I had, steadier at the front court, easy to manoeuvre with enough power to get to the offensive.
