ARCSABER 9FL
Equipment type: badminton racket. Equipment brand: YONEX. Equipment series: ArcSaber series. Applicable range: all. Price range: 1201 – 1500 yuan. Equipment description: Arc9FL, also known as ArcSaber 9FL. The ArcSaber 9FL is a control-type badminton racket from YONEX. Suitable for: intermediate to advanced female players. With the power of a bow and the sharpness of a sword, the ArcSaber 9FL (Arc9FL) is a high-end badminton racket exclusively for women launched by YONEX in 2010. The main color of this racket is crystal pink and it is the preferred equipment for intermediate to advanced female players. 1. The ARC-9FL uses YONEX’s new material ‘TOUGHLEX tough resin’, which enhances the strength, flexibility, durability and dwell time of the badminton on the sides of the racket frame. The landing point of high shots is deeper in the opponent’s backcourt, thus obtaining a more active counterattack. The lighter overall weight and easier hitting feel bring a gentle sensation.

Like multiple layers of nanotubes structured like stacked cups, these stacked cups can flexibly bounce when impacted. Therefore, it not only has higher strength than ordinary carbon nanotubes but also has toughness and elasticity at the same time, exerting strong resilience. YONEX stacked cup nanotube. 3. Installing stacked cup carbon nanotubes on the side of the racket frame can extend the dwell time of the badminton on the string bed, thereby enhancing the racket’s control over the hitting landing point.

Adopting a low wind resistance racket frame design, the thinner racket frame further reduces the air resistance during swinging and helps players increase smash speed.

The ARC-9FL adopts the ‘new built-in T-joint’. The ‘built-in T-joint’ hidden in the connection part between the racket frame and the shaft has strong anti-deformation properties, improving the stability of the racket face and achieving high-precision control performance. It is an ‘original technology’ of YONEX badminton rackets. The ‘new built-in T-joint’ replaces alloy materials with lightweight special plastic materials and combines with new epoxy resin. The precision and quality are further improved, and the racket frame and shaft are more integrated. Moreover, it can better avoid deformation during playing, making the racket face more stable and further improving the control performance of long-distance rallies.
The Arcsaber 9FL from Yonex is designed to increase smash speed, delivering unmatched power. It features Yonex’s innovative built-in T-joint 7, which maintains the thumb coverage area while facilitating a smoother swing and reducing air resistance with its low drag cone cap (C.S.CAP). The new cone cap (C.S.CAP) 8, along with the adoption of a new soft grip material, ensures a comfortable feel. The new grip material 9, combined with the ISO square frame shape, expands the sweet spot area, providing 32% more effective hitting area compared to traditional rackets. This allows for precise and powerful smashes even when the ball is off-center from the string bed. The racket’s frame is extended by 10mm, increasing the hitting surface by 32%, which helps players extend their reach and enhance their aggressive play, enabling them to hit sharp, short shots that land at sharp angles for powerful high-angle smashes. The frame material consists of ultra-high elasticity carbon fiber + cup carbon nanotube, while the shaft material is made of high elasticity carbon fiber + super polyethylene fiber. The racket weighs 3U, has a length of 674mm, and offers handle sizes G4 and G5, with a moderate shaft flexibility and a recommended string tension of 19-24LBS. Balance point is not specified.
