    I have a very powerful smash and am looking for more control. My Z slash broke and I went through several top notch rackets... voltric 70 and 80 but neither seemed as good as z slash. I really liked the lightness of the racket and the elasticity of it. Any recommendations?

    I actually also had an arc 11 before. It was a good racket but stiffer than the z slash which I also liked for its flexibility. Ive only used Yonex rackets but am open to trying new brands too.

    Sorry! Actually I previously had an arcsaber 10.. I have not tried the arcsaber 11 yet. Is there any difference between the two? Thanks.

    Awesome. Sounds more suited for me then. :D Would you say the swing speed, racket weight, or flexibility are different?

    Is the arcsaber 11 the FB? Ive been kinda out of the loop with new rackets... Would you guys recommend the I-slash or the FB? Not sure what the differences are.

    The arcsaber 11 and the flash boost are very different.

    The Arcsaber 11 and the FB (Flash Boost) are the new racquets from Yonex this year. You know what the Arcsaber is, the FB is a new lightweight racquet with no predecessor, by default the FB is 73g (6U, though there's a 5U version now in Japan).

    If you want to know more, check out the forum threads on each separate racquet, there's a lot of information.

    If you can try the Victor BS11, I think it could be a good racket for you: a very good control and also a long shaft to produce decent power.

    Why don't you just buy another z-slash?
    When you loved the racket - why switching?

    You could try a Li-Ning Woods N80 cuts through the air really well
    The Victor Bravesword LYD is similar as well
