About this deal

Lightweight and Durable: The 4U weight (avg. 83g) makes it easy to maneuver and the graphite frame ensures durability. Players who wanted a similar version of Arcsaber 10 may be disappointed. The testing sample I used was weighed 88g and around 100g before and after putting on the strings and grip. The lightweight "New" Built-in T-Joint is crafted from epoxy resin material, enhancing stability and performance. This innovation stabilizes the shuttle on the string bed and through the air, contributing to improved gameplay. On the world scene Taufik Hidyat is using this racquet and there is a special edition in his name, although it looks relatively dull in a metallic grey/silver. Other than that, there are a number of players using Arcsaber 11 this season although I have no idea whether this is by choice.

I noticed that the added control over the shuttle was especially handy on tight shots around the net and midcourt where a slight difference in placement can make or break a shot. If you are interested in exploring the user guide, you can find it here. Features – What We Found Lightweight and Maneuverable The single-pass grommet hole construction offers a high-performance stringing pattern, providing more grommet holes for optimal stringing.The balance point for Yonex was 295mm, it feels lighter than Arcsaber 10 and very well balanced, really slightly head heavy though. In 2013 Yonex surprised us all by launching two additional racquets in the Arcsaber range, namely Arcsaber 11 and the unusually named Flashboost. Many Yonex followers were expecting to see a scaled down Arcsaber range in 2013 on the premise that this is the next range to be withdrawn and a new successor announced. As you can imagine, the lighter frame made defending a lot easier than Voltric 80 which I’m used to. The racquet was fast, although that’s more due to the lighter head than an aero-dynamic frame. CS Carbon Nanotube:** Enhanced durability and flexibility improve frame elasticity for better control at impact.

I always begin a test with clears. This provides me with an initial feel in terms of the swing of the racquet, flex, feel of the head in the swing and power capability. I also don’t think I’ll get the VT80. Although it does come in 4U, I just think that the AS11 would be a better choice. The VT80 just doesn’t seem to be a good all rounder which would fit me. Arcsaber 11 is a very nice racquet. It’s main forte is that it’s a really good all-rounder, delivering a high degree of power, balanced with the ability to turn on the speed to cope with defending , mid-court exchanges and frenzied net play. Is it a major step up from Arcsaber 10? I’d say there’s not much in it.The Arcsaber 7 Play’s more flexible shaft makes it suitable for beginners, whereas the Arcsaber 11 Play is for you if your technique is around the intermediate level. Yonex Arcsaber 11 Play vs. Astrox 77 Play Smash is easy, very accurate, controlled, and forgiving a well, I would say it’s better than Arcsaber 10. Don’t expect a smash that’s powerful and solid like Yonex Voltric Z Force 2, but then for sure, it’s also much more forgiving. Mid Court and Net Area Performance

In the middle, there’s the Tour-version which is slightly more affordable than the Pro but follows a similar set of specs and requires a higher skill level (like the Pro) than the Play to enjoy playing with. The key question to ask firstly is what style of player are you, or what type of player do you want to become? The ISOMETRICTM technology equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string bed, enlarging the sweet spot for consistent accuracy even on off-center hits.

ARCSABER 11 TOUR

Arcsaber 11 feels relatively even-balanced in the swing but it certainly has a touch weight in the head. It’s just enough to know where the head is without being too much for those players that enjoy an even balance racquet. I feel more power, and even more accurate control. With this racquet, everyone can improve their game.” Taufik Hidayat Graphics are similar to its predecessor the Arcsaber 10 with predominantly red paint with flashes of white and yellow. It’s a striking racquet and apart from looks, has a similar feel to Arcsaber 10. From reading the specifications, it would seem the main differences are with the introduction of “sonic metal” in the head and the noticeably thinner, albeit it stiff shaft. As you would expect, the racquet was accompanied by the standard Arcsaber full length cover.
