Equipment Description: The YONEX ArcSaber-Z-TH is a signature badminton racket of Taufik Hidayat, launched in July 2010 as YONEX’s top product of the year.
1. ArcSaber Z Slash: Challenging the lowest limit of air resistance!
2. Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube Frame: Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube is YONEX’s latest material, a special structured carbon material that resembles the appearance of multiple cups stacked one on top of the other, offering higher mechanical properties than standard carbon nanotubes. More importantly, Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube has greater toughness, allowing the deformed frame to recover more quickly under pressure; the composite resin with Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube applied to both sides of the frame makes the frame more resilient, extending the dwell time of the shuttlecock on the string bed during impact, thereby enhancing the racket’s control over the shot placement.
3. Ultra PEF Technology: Ultra Polyethylene Fiber boasts excellent adhesion and shock absorption, and is so lightweight that it can float on water; its use in the racket shaft makes smashes more effective and provides unexpected shock absorption.
4. New Generation Slim Long Shaft: YONEX’s most slender shaft ever, significantly reducing air resistance during swinging while enhancing flexibility.
5. New Grommet System: Changing the traditional crisscross position where the badminton strings share grommets, each string is now assigned an independent grommet, achieving a high-performance string bed effect.
6. Low Wind Resistance Cone Cap: The wide-faced Cone Cap (C.S.CAP) designed specifically for doubles players is appropriately sharpened, reducing air resistance during swinging while ensuring enough flexibility for net control.
7. New Lightweight Built-in T-Joint: The new T-joint no longer uses metal materials but is made of a new lightweight T-joint made from special epoxy resin; this new epoxy resin-made joint provides higher stability to the frame and stronger hitting power.
The Yonex ARCSABER Z-Slash TH features a compact frame design, which is smaller than traditional racket frames, thereby reducing air resistance during play and enhancing the feel of the shot. The racket frame is made of ultra-high elasticity carbon, high-tension carbon, and cup carbon nanotube. The shaft is composed of high elasticity carbon, ultra-high elasticity carbon, and super polyethylene fiber. The racket weighs 3U and has a length of 674mm. The grip sizes available are G4 and G5, and the shaft stiffness is hard. The recommended string tension is 19-24LBS. The balance point is not provided.
