Hi bros here: this new Yonex ArcSaber Z Slash racket got as good as Li Ning N-series rackets?
There's not much to know. It's even balance, has a shorter handle than usual, has a slimmer ISO head than usual, most kicking around at the moment are 3UG4's.
They've redesigned the head so that it's more aerodynamic at 45º rather than 90, because they figured out (duh) that that racket is rarely at 90º to the shuttle for long.
Shaft and cone are slimmer, leading to slightly less drag.
That's about it.

1) Welcome to BCBF. I see, this your first post.Hi Guys
Bought my very own ArcSaber Z after reading this forum for a bit. Pretty happy for the racquet overall. Strung it with NGB95 Tension 25.
Overall, the racquet definitely gives bit more strength and power to my game. Definitely not up to the 400++ km speeds Yonex claim but I do notice the extra push. However I am bit disappointed with the string, maybe it doesn suit me, I'm not too sure. I do notice that my netplay isnt as good as I expected, could it be the string? I feel that the shuttle doesn't bounce of the racquet enough, not sure if it's just me.
Just wanna ask all you guys out there, what string would you recommend for this racquet?
Cheers.
1) Welcome to BCBF. I see, this your first post.
2) Regarding your question, yes, NBG95 lack the touch for net plays. I usually use BG85 for my regular racquets. But I tried BG66 this time and it is GREAT! If you do not break string too often, BG66. If you do break string often, try BG80.
Not sure if it works for you but IMHO the best string for controllable power will be BG65. It's very relative in terms of how much strength you put into your strokes that will govern how far and quick the shuttle will travel. Also when you string it to higher tensions (starting 25lbs and above), you will really feel the shuttle landing in whatever position on the string bed.Hi brothers, which string to used if for control & power play ?
THANKS!

Thank you Easy Tiger.
I'm about to order this racquet. But this is what confuses me a litte. If it is an even balanced racquet with an aerodynamic frame and a slim structure why aren't these characteristics helping in defense?
On the other hand how is it possible that it is more powerfull than Armortec 900 Power? So do the "technological advancements" compensate the need of a head heavy racquet?![]()
At least Taufik can't get used to Arc-ZS.....He kept changing back to Arc-10 during Japan Open....
I might as well wait for second hand Arc-ZS....
You can have mine for 200CAD. Only about 4 hours of playtime.![]()
Strung with one string, BG80 @ 26/28 lbs. 3UG3. You can pick it up in Chilliwack.![]()
I have both G4 and G5 here, but they are brand new racquetsThe thing is, Gemcat does not use G3 size. He uses a G4 or G5 IIRC.
Threehow many did u buy -_-
