Badminton Racket YONEX NANORAY 900 Reviews
Big brother naturally have big brother’s bottom, these three words, each of them say its weight.
“Old” is the birth of the year early, as took over the ns series flag speed beat, the current nr series has obviously entered the twilight of the series, and it has long been discontinued. “Big” is the word of mouth, sales and field performance on the joint casting of greatness, not only is the aspect of Hengshan, so far there are still high-level ball players recognize this model, open the ball bag, 3 nr900, 2U. ‘Brother’ is the status of the series of authority to start with a 9 The number of the number for the three major are bound to be placed in the ultimate flagship racket, that is, rash ZSP also have to shout its predecessor.
Parameters: 3UG5, bottomless, total weight in use 90.0g, balance point 298mm, center pole length 205mm, hard tuning, 9-3 point line slot, fluid box frame with 4-8 point thin wing windbreak treatment, warranty 24 pounds, pull line 26-28lbs xb63.
Gray and black, subdued, understated but airy, showing a taut charm. In every variation of the frame, it is not stingy with the flash stickers and onion green hard line design, if you can give a little patience to adjust the angle, this mediocre stickers will be bursting with sparkling fire like jewel-grade zirconia. Elegant, very elegant.
It’s a unique frame, transitioning from a plain boxed but 4 and 8 o’clock windbreak finish on the T-head to a plain boxed two-winged and then a thin-winged fluid windbreak frame on the head. Not only the shape, even the thickness varies, like every part of the shape has been carefully tuned. Compared to a lot of doubles rackets with aggressive full windbreaker treatments today, the idea of optimizing the performance of the racket that it takes into consideration sends shivers down my spine like electricity passing through it. Unfortunately, the lacquer strength isn’t great and is prone to flaws.
At first hand contact, it has a thin enough center bar that might lead the uninformed to believe that this is a racket of the moment. In addition to the size, the weight configuration is very different. I didn’t even wrap the cushioning film, and any other racket that messes with the balance point like this would normally have to go up to 305mm, but when I weighed it at the end of the trial, it was less than 300. It’s 3U, and also “head light” as labeled in the center bar, and the feeling in my hand is not too light but not too heavy, and I feel like I’m free to use it. Since then, I fully understand how much the 2U version of this racket is favored by high-level gourmets.
From my experience with the ns8000, even though this type of racket was made stiffer in those days, I’m afraid that in today’s environment where hard-tuned rackets can be found everywhere, I’m afraid that the hardest level of the year would have heard a lot of voices saying, “My lord, the times have changed”. The hardness of the racket is amplified by the 205mm center stick, which makes it difficult to drive, but the regular sweet spot and smooth swing speed make it quicker for advanced players to adapt. The feel feedback is good, but the flex level does fall off a bit, and this setup is destined for more scenarios that require active power handling, and I was surprised to be overwhelmed by a girl with a Sky Axe 77 when acclimatizing to the Sky Pull High, although it does have a physical hold in it as well.
With the NR900’s reputation as the king of flat draws, it was only natural to test whether it lived up to its name in a fast-paced matchup. It did, and on top of being solid out of the ball, it did it fast enough. It was fast enough on top of being solid, and it was forgiving enough on top of being solid. Stability is the common result of the highest performance carbon racket combined with most of the box frames; fastness is the common result of the low wind resistance frame and low swingweight. And the forgiveness is actually the most amazing part for me. Compared to the high loss rate of zsp with a reduced frame when closing the net and the difficulty of being pinned down on the low backhand, the NR900 comes back with a regular frame size. I wouldn’t have marveled at it if that was all, but mainly because the NR still returned decent quality returns even after hitting the zsp during the various flat draw blocking phases of the trial. The most outrageous thing is that before I got used to the NR, it was obvious to me that there were several instances where I was able to continue the pace of the ball even after hitting the frame, which is a first. No freak out, it was all pocketed.
The downward pressure relies more on active power, obviously, but it’s a racket that’s very comfortable to handle any way you want when you get the initiative. Because of the low swingweight, you don’t have to worry about loading the small arm for half chances to come up and you can just point it off, usually in a more accurate way, and the racket has good directionality, showing a torsional resistance that’s rare in a speed racket. At the same time, it does not have a small racket frame kind of line bed contact head time is very short, on the collection of power, twisting power control effect is also very good, such as the back court of the collection of hanging and net to get the high point of the grab and put the dial diagonal and so on. There are a lot of tools, all very colorful, but I personally think it still lacks a little bit of explosive power in the strong attack, especially compared to the extreme racket such as zsp, in my hand lacks the feeling of a siege hammer. Of course, the racket’s consistency is excellent, and it doesn’t let scoring opportunities slip out from under my nose when there’s a winning momentum.’
Performance on the defensive end was OK, with flexible and consistent outlet characteristics that were above par in both split-side and soft blocks when picking up kills, but when it came to needing to lend a hand picking the backcourt, it was relatively less easy to pick into place when the overall tuning of the hard was more of a requirement for the user to have a good base of relevant skills and fitness to allow for a more adequate getaway.
The NR900 also comes with a backhand maneuverability enhancement, again because of the stability, flexibility, and large racket surface, when it is too late to step back to deal with the incoming ball in the overhead area but don’t want to let go of the active situation, you will find that it works wonders for backhand downward pressure, and the power feels good. Although the effect of downward pressure is certainly not as threatening as forehand handling, it is still enough to make the opponent afraid, and for players with poor backhand ability, it can at least be a teaching tool.
Boss still have the courage, I really underestimated its energy and dominance, for a discontinued racket, in addition to the strong attack in the 3U it embodies the explosive power of a bit of age, the other aspects are still all right, calm and unhurried. The glory of Nanoray has not been erased from it.
After playing a session on the bottom without a shock absorbing membrane, I came home and realized that I had overloaded my wrists a bit. The knee was already in bad shape and this was another big mistake.

Badminton Racket YONEX NR750 Reviews
I’ve heard a lot about them.
The NR series is a treasure trove of different frame shapes, stiffnesses, and materials that interpret the concept of “speed” in different ways. Although the materials and technology of the time did not allow for extreme performance in every aspect of the racket, the variety of styles made this series of high-end products a real eye-catcher for those who are looking for playfulness.
I was impressed by the NR750 because it is at the bottom of the performance chart of the NR series, and even of the entire lineup of racquets, i.e. the racquet with the lowest empty balance point ever. I guess the gimmick itself is worth playing.
Parameters: 3UG4, de-bottomed, 93.20g total weight in used condition, 289mm balance point, 215mm mid-shaft length, medium stiffness, fluid box frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point stringing groove, 25 lb. warranty, 24-26lbs stringing BS720.
The racket is available in old and new colors, with more former pros opting for the new color and the version recovered by the author being the old color, Jewel Blue. Although the color has been lost over the years and the frame has been cut and scuffed in many places, with some of the carbon fiber showing through, I still appreciate its slimmer and fresher original look. The upper part of the frame is an elegant blue-gray, unadorned, covering the range of 9-3 o’clock, which then transforms into the classic white primer with black alignment. nanoray is also in blue lettering, and there is also a floating nanoray on the white primer near the T-head. The whole beat is minimalist, but every part of it looks coordinated and durable enough to please the user himself.
At first glance the racket doesn’t have a lot of speed attributes, the wind break in the frame is not noticeable, there is no sharp finish or slim area, and it doesn’t feel too different from the Bow series of fluid box frames, but when you pick it up you can see why it’s in the NR series. The head weight is very low, and the balance point of the 3U racket is not even 290 after de-bottoming is very exaggerated, as far as I can remember, only the later Polaris Princess 2 can be compared, and the old 9001 is excluded from comparison because the 4U specification is not correct.
With such a low swing weight, the NR750 feels very good when handling overhand shots, and naturally the NR750 doesn’t work as well as a head-heavy attacking racket where you can hit the ball into place with the potential energy of the swing alone, but I’m even more fascinated by the current feeling of being able to control the ball with my arms, with a quick swinging motion of the lead racket, a smooth and tight launch, and a not too difficult deformation of the mid-range stick, which is very willing to give up its own elasticity when it comes to the ball, which has already shown its charm in the warmup for the lofted shots. In the warm-up of the high ball, its charm has already been reflected.
The secret is that with the NR750 the user will naturally get a relatively high point of impact, and even if the opponent is sometimes pinned down in the overhead area, with the pace not quite there, the racquet can assist with a very flexible power pattern to get a full shot out of the way with a leaning back position. Not to mention that in the case of running in place, compared to other racquets, it allows the user to get the active opportunities as much as possible, by constantly grabbing the high point can either be downward power down to improve the confrontation tempo, but also can play a change of path to make the opponent can not adapt to the means very flexible.
At the same time, whether it is to deal with backhand, underhand shots or to cope with consecutive kills, the NR750 has a performance that seems unparalleled at that time, when the big brother of the same series, the ZSP, because of the small frame of the low tolerance, and the second brother, the NR900, because of the high stiffness of the skills of the immature players in the handling of passive ball links quite a headache, the NR750 is really quite a long way ahead of the game.
Of course, there will be players who are concerned about the lack of downward pressure, but the answer is no. As mentioned earlier, with aggressive running, the NR750 tends to get a higher point of impact, and naturally it’s easier to get a line to hit the ball down the line. Killing the ball with the NR750 doesn’t feel any different if there’s no problem with the power delivery and accuracy. The pointing of the racket face is also quite good, and the direction of the ball is basically the same as what the user expects, and the hasty return is not a problem due to the lack of torsion resistance, so the NR750 can be a bit of ARCSABER’s flavor, leaving aside the difference in the feel of holding the ball in the wire bed. If you really want to criticize it, it may be that the strength of the heavy kill is a little bit unable to keep up with the user’s most extreme explosive power, the mid-shaft has a tough feeling, the ball is fast but the feel of the catch is not too heavy, it is easy to be lent to bounce up, and it may not be as sharp as the other attacking rackets in terms of the landing point. But despite this, the NR750’s coherence ability is also the level of heaven, to keep the racket coherent after the racket, not in a hurry to move back, the opponent has been high on the top of the pressure can be kept, there will not be a chain of coherence is destroyed or physical strength can not keep up with the situation.
This kind of coherent feel, as well as the super head light on the center stick and racket frame, is the only one of its kind.
Speaking of which, the NR750 is also known as the “King of Flat Strokes”, and I have really felt the power of its flexibility, stability and good short power stroke in doubles. Because the swing weight is low enough, sometimes it can barely hold a beat against the balls coming from the right shoulder, right chest and right armpit, as long as the reaction speed can keep up with it, it’s not a problem. Similarly, when the opponent tries to hit a wide-angle change of direction, the NR750’s ability to get farther forward means that the opponent’s shot can often be intercepted before it reaches the distance where he or she needs to turn his or her hips to catch it. However, just from a flat block perspective, there are many racquets out there with lower swingweights and better flex that offer a better experience, such as the “flat” 9001.
But that’s irrelevant, all things considered it’s an attractive top-end racket that can play both singles and doubles, and I can even recall Eddie Hu’s amazing backhand return against Kento Momota. Its overall performance can’t be said to have an extremely high ceiling, but it’s certainly very fun to play with, and it’s a racquet that has a very wide audience, so I’m not sure what to make of its relatively low popularity anymore.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 8DX Reviews
There is a lot of consensus on the Bow Series, such as the advantage of a low threshold, the characteristic ball-holding feel, and the disadvantage of being prone to collapse. What creates the characteristic ball-holding feel is the frame softness, and because of that it leads to a carbon cloth that is prone to fatigue against wire shear and poor creep resistance. Even the batch of Bow 11s that were reproduced a year ago, the warranty is still 24 pounds, and the spirit is stubborn.
But if you ask me, the 27-pound warranty on the Bow 8 is enough to make it stand out from the rest.
Parameters: 3UG5, de-bottomed, total weight in use 92.7g, balance point 300mm, 7.2mm center rod, 210mm long, stiff tuning, 76-hole thread bed, 9-3 point thread slot, 27 lbs warranty, threading 25-27lbs xb63.
It seems like the 8 is a relatively high poundage resistant product in both the Double Edge and Bow premium lines. However, in terms of appearance, the Bow 8 is consistent in its exterior design style with its contemporaries around the same time. The frame is a simple silver-white primer that turns black at 4 and 8 o’clock and runs all the way through the center bar, but the model number lettering on the center bar alone makes me feel like toffee or coffee. The two flanks of the frame are specially labeled with the application of C.S nanotubes, but other than that there are no decorations, which is also simple and generous.
Still the same big racket face, still the same big sweet spot, but in the head weight feeling bow 8 is slightly more obvious than bow 7, also has half a foot into the feeling of offense racket. At the same time, with the xb63 the characteristic ball-holding feeling of the series is weakened, and the frame and center stick feel a little stiffer, so there is an increase in the responsiveness of the ball. As always, the 3U Bow 8 has a good feel on the ball, basically one or two round trips to figure out the rhythm and strength of the ball, and the direction is also clearer.
Of course, the 3U Bow 8’s swingweight is still very friendly, and this quicker response makes it a natural choice for advanced players with a little more power and technique to find it useful in flat blocks. As Koo’s former racket, it gave me a similar fast-paced performance to the ns8000 that I first saw last year. I used the Bow 8 for doubles and it was flawless.
To this day, it’s not credible for me to brag about how flexible this racket is, even if I take out its predecessor, the Bow 11, and compare it to its center stick, it’s still a bit inferior. Although the same nano science, technology this thing will never carve the sword. But the stability of the racket is very good, under the premise of action molding, the bow 8 can provide the quality of the ball can reach amazing consistency, feel quite clear.
And there’s also an advantage based on the high poundage resistance performance, in that it deserves higher string tension to further enhance its longevity on the ball control path. The Bow 8, by virtue of its own characteristics, can be a very tight eater at the net. Some say it’s the offensive king of the Bow series, which I’m not sure about yet, but at least it doesn’t have too many problems with its ability to create offensive opportunities.
Sometimes you have to admit that when you have the power to keep up, the high poundage resistance is also an offensive chip. When hitting the ball with power, you can still feel a greater deformation of the string bed, the head stays on the ball longer, and therefore the energy transfer is more adequate. The Bow 8’s offense doesn’t feel as syrupy as the others, and expecting to be able to hit a slow, downward pressure shot is definitely not good quality. By focusing more on hitting the ball hard, feeling its hardness, feeling its stability, and feeling its potential, it’s easy to see that after 13 years, it still meets the needs of today’s attackers. Moreover, it is still coherent ……
The backhand feel is also very good, with no more difficulties to overcome than the stiffness of the overall tuning. At the same time, the slice is much more forgiving, high slice kills can be made with better consistency, and the effectiveness of the shot is further improved.
I’m really out of words, except for the material gap that makes the flexibility a bit hard to keep up with, in all other aspects, I seem to be trying out a pretty modern stiff balanced racket. ……

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 6FL Reviews
The first shift of 2024 is given to a mediocre old Green Factory midrange.
The ARCSABER series is indeed interesting haha, longevity not to mention the fact that it has been updated until now and there are still a lot of people willing to pay for it. Though the most discussed ones are definitely the ones on the high end line, I’m really more willing to keep hitting some untried mid-ends since experiencing the Bow 1000 has made me feel like the line between certain mid-ends and high ends has become very blurred.
Parameters: 4UG5, de-bottomed, total weight of 86.19g in use condition, balance point 312mm, mid-pole length 215mm, low stiffness, boxed racket frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string slot, 24 lbs. warranty, threaded 25-26 lbs. of Takagami Steel Armor 5 string.
Once I saw the FL suffix, the first reaction was that this was a more female-oriented product, even though its full name is feather light, i.e. lightweight. From the outside it does have some feminine elements such as pink stickers and white primer. This is not a stereotype, and despite the fact that the racket is not rich in decorative details, the overall look of the racket is still coherent. It’s just that the Isometric in the head is placed at 1 o’clock which is more or less OCD-inducing.
The racquet is a 4U size, and the head weight is noticeable after bottoming out, but I didn’t expect it to be balanced at 310+ until I actually measured it. The air swing felt a bit weighty, but reasonable, and in keeping with the FL’s identity, it seemed light and fast. It’s worth noting that the frame retains the use of nano gas springs despite being made in Taiwan, which should allow it to retain the soul of the ARCSABER series.
It’s a sugar water racket in the standard sense, not too heavy but very easy to develop borrowed power, and with a really soft center stick, it can be hit very easily with deformation. After the deformation, the mid-shaft has an 80% Bow 7 feel to its rebound, and the feedback in the sweet spot is almost exactly the same. In terms of ease of use, it’s almost non-existent and the sweet spot is ridiculously large and surprisingly forgiving.
When trying to hit some long line outs with the 6fl, it felt relatively normal, not speaking out of the ball false pressure on the ball, and with a little more acclimatization you can also control the landing point in the high long balls flat high balls. Because the line bed and the head of the contact time is long, hit the ball when there is a kind of “solid” feedback, but the speed of the ball itself will not be too high, the explosive power is average. However, since there are no constraints, you can use it without any worries, and you can use it as much as you want even when you are not as fit as you should be.
At the same time, after the ARCSABER series of holding feeling can be retained, the wire bed to the head of the ball wrapped very obvious, in the net of the small ball and backcourt of the dangling ball in the shot more room for adjustment, but also more to enhance the confidence of the shot.
The 6FL’s head weight provides the racquet with a superb downward compression, while the ease of launch and quicker weight give it a usable consistency. Even if the quality of the kills is far from being ready to kill with a single shot from the center or backcourt, it can still be an effective means of scoring with a continuous output that ensures that the ball is going down the court on every shot. This is not only because of the fast racket and swing speed, but also because of the low energy consumption and the ability to deliver successive shots.
The handling of the backhand path is especially impressive in the 6fl. In the passive state, such as the turn to receive a kill or to receive a flat push, because the power space is extremely compressed, often lead to the poor quality of the ball, not in place to get rid of. The racquet’s easy drive characteristics compensate for this situation, and it’s quite handy for both soft transitions and power shots back to the backcourt.
At first I thought that flat blocks or fast-paced matchups would be the shortcoming of this 6fl, but in practice it didn’t make me feel uncomfortable in doubles in this regard. The ball is a bit sticky, but in line with the overall tuning of the racquet, and the swing speed is not too low, the body is more flexible, and the follow-through of the draw block to the net is quite comfortable. Even if the pleasure of bouncing diagonally through the power is gone, its more conservative and solid performance in passive or holding situations still allows it to keep itself from falling into errors or underdogs in multi-shot situations.
I personally feel that the 6fl really doesn’t stand out, but it doesn’t have any shortcomings either, and I’m sure it will steal a lot of the market from the current double-edged 6 when it’s put on its face value.
I did almost miss out on this racquet, not realizing at first that the ARCSABER 6 and the ARCSABER 6FL are two completely different things. And the latter is a cut above the former in terms of texture. However, this was the conclusion before the author knew the racket market.
ARCSABER 7 is actually very old, and its performance is so inadequate that any low-end player who is willing to use the material can get a not much worse experience, so it is not surprising that even an old Taiwan-made ARCSABER 6FL can get a satisfactory rating after comparing with it.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 1000 tour Reviews
It was mentioned in the Black Cut issue that its appearance hinted that the green factory might be taking a new mindset towards the mid-range racket in terms of production, marketing and competing for the low to mid-range racket. At the time, I thought it was an operation led by the Taiwan factory.
But this racket lent to me by a friend made me realize that a similar pattern turned out to have a precedent 10 years ago, though it was not Taiwan YY that dominated this behavior at that time, but the Risen factory that had more say.
Moreover, it doesn’t lose face, the back cover is madr in Japan, which alone can satisfy the social needs of many young players.
Parameters: 4UG5, de-bottomed, total weight in used condition 86.9g, balance point 305mm, center shaft length 205mm, medium-high stiffness, fluid boxed frame, 72-hole string bed, 9-3 point string slot, 28 lb. warranty, threaded 25-27lbs steel armor 5.
Don’t look at him black, the author also very much like this kind of matte dark color coating. The Bow 1000t is more introverted in style, nothing impressive at first glance. However, the transition from the dark blue gradient of the head to the new color and then to the burgundy is relatively soft, and the symmetrical distribution of the OCD is also satisfied, it looks harmonious. I thought everyone had something to say about the ARCSABER series of high poundage resistance performance, so this mid-range directly dry to 28, satisfied.
I’m still not quite used to seeing a 72-hole stringbed ARCSABER, but the racket’s face is not a problem to use and still has a large sweet spot and a more pronounced hold. In addition to the string holes, the frame has been tweaked in terms of frame shape, and it’s easy to see that the 1000t has a thinner frame with a more rounded windward side, so this is going to be a bow with higher swing speeds, which will undoubtedly further improve racquet-friendliness, and let’s not talk about not being able to hit it.
In terms of materials, I believe the mid-range offering is more neutered to the center stick, and there is no difference in terms of the technology in the frame. When you actually get off the court to warm up, you will find the 1000t to be good to work with without the temperament, but it does still feel a little less resilient compared to a high end floor bow 7 or bow is.
But there is no influence, I tried this racket is in the late stage of the flu, the physical condition has not recovered at all, so its abundant sugar gave me back a lot of the field.
Moreover, although the soft center and high ball-holding tend to cause constraints in fast-paced confrontations, the 1000t’s short center and low head weight give the racket the advantage of flexibility to fully cover its shortcomings, whether it is the lower hand position of the successive kill or backhand push blocking with a very good use of the hand, and in some of the passive ball can show its strong transition ability.
However, the racquet’s performance in the anti-twist aspect is a little bit worse, the feel is not solid enough, the feedback of hitting the ball in the long line of the ball is weak, the landing point is not controllable, often can’t hit their ideal landing point, not enough to meet the standard.
Its weakness in downward pressure did not really bother me too much, and the short mid-range high explosive characteristics still add to the racquet’s color. Obviously, the 1000t is not suited to a powerful attack, and I’m sure it won’t be able to handle it, with a disconnect in power transfer on absolutely massive kills. However, by lowering its demands and sticking to the idea of consistency, the racket is already capable of hitting downward pressure with some ball speed on flick shots, and it’s really a lot easier to use.
It’s a mentally soothing racquet, but it also has to be sympathetic to my teammates …… Usually used to seeing high downward pressure, I was spit out by my teammates on the day of use for coming out of the hand softly, and was mouthbroken for the rest of the night.
Overall, the demonstration effect of this racket is very good, in the author played a few green factory mid-range performance and price is quite outstanding, and can play a series of characteristics, can play the focus of the coaching, is a multi-faceted are in line with my expectations of a green factory mid-range racket production, but also recommend that everyone pick up and play.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 9FL Reviews
The probability is that I will not voluntarily include this kind of racket, for one reason, the price of the first one is firm, the strength of the lacquer is low, the racket is not durable, and the fourth is the rampant fakes. For this kind of equipment with high cost of use to arouse my interest, its positioning as a women’s racket is very critical.
I think after playing it, it will make me feel that what Green Factory is doing nowadays and the women’s racket that Green Factory put out at that time have kept the consistency in the beginning.
Parameters: 3UG4, de-bottomed, total weight of 95.5g in use condition, balance point 292mm, center bar length 220mm, moderate to low stiffness, box frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string slot, warranty 25lbs, stringing 24-26lbs kt66f.
Just to be clear, bow nine and 9fl are two different products, and 9fl also has two versions of old and new colors, and the new color also adds 4U specification, which makes the counterfeiting market find more room to operate.
Of course, the racket does look great. A splash of pink in the frame and center pole sets the image of the racket, and the transition of the frame to white to the starry black color of the T-head makes the 9fl look extremely layered. The tapered cover is very well done, with a yonex crystal label in addition to the usual specification tips, making it very recognizable.
This is a racquet that I could tell was from the ARCSABER series right away, with the organic unity of hold and flex in the feedback and the balanced tuning as shown in the specs, the Arcsaber 9fl has a “mellow” feel to it. Of course, the swing weight of the 3U version is not quite as low as I would like, and the swing speed is not quite as high as I would like, but it does provide more leverage in the swing. In terms of stiffness, it’s a bit softer than its 7/8/11 brethren, with a low midrange drive difficulty and more shape in the lofting experience. Suffice it to say, the 3U has no difficulty getting on with it other than swing speed, and this top sugar water racket is the kind of racket that even the teammate at home who can’t even get the hang of it can pull a few shots with me near the baseline during warmups.
I don’t know if there’s a stereotype of women’s racquets being “underpowered”, but the Arcsaber 9fl spits in the face of that stereotype. In its lineup, it has a good amount of downward pressure, while its flexibility prevents much of the unloading that occurs when it is tuned softer. In many downward pressure attacks, the 9fl had a very distinctive trait: a sense of holding the ball. On heavy kills, you could feel the head desperately clinging to the racket face, and you could easily recognize the deformation of the string bed and the center stick. The ball response is not fast, but the longer power transfer time will give the user a solid feeling on the ball, and there is no lack of power and speed in the end result.
What’s more, it doesn’t require you to have a lot of physical reserves or power skills to complete a kill shot. Its sugar plays a good role in the user’s range and consistency in the confrontation.
It’s called “ball-holding”, but it’s the same thing if you replace it with “stickiness”. I don’t like the way the 9fl performs in fast-paced doubles matches. On the one hand, the 9fl swing speed is not very fast, on the other hand, in the process of twisting power can also cause deformation of the center stick, but when rebounding the ball head has already been bounced out of the wire bed to borrow more potential energy, so its feel in the flat block is more than the general balance of the racket is not to my personal liking.
The same situation is also reflected in the net blocking and serve-receiving, after grabbing the high point of the net, the power response is not decisive enough to compress the opponent’s reaction time, resulting in the occasional grabbed the net but was rid of the ball.
However, the 9fl’s solid feel will give it a confident performance in small-ball maneuvers at the net. In all kinds of rolls and releases, the human-racket interaction is strong, and in the practice condition, you can even make the ball over the net from time to time. If switched to doubles, with a reliable heavy hitting teammate, this would be killer. Even if the timing is bad and you get moved to the backcourt by your opponent, a well-timed shot to the net can still be a great chance to regain the initiative.
My perception of the Arcsaber 9fl is still more of a singles racket, and after discovering its ball control advantages, I can more confidently use its directionality and handling advantages to gradually build up an advantage by making full use of the court area for mobilization. It’s an old racket for sure, but it still has its areas of excellence when it comes to control and blitzing.

The second episode of the 80% merit, thanks to the old racket borrowed by my brother, updated at a tragically inhumane point in time.
Or despite the old style, based on the condition of the racket, it is possible that it is from that reproduction in 18 years, just considering that the old bow 7 was launched in 07, judging from the bottom cover font its likely to be from the earliest batch. The Bow 7 that I tried this time is painted in pure white, compared to the yellow and silver version, the circulation will be a little less.
Generally speaking, I wouldn’t take the initiative to try out an old racket that has been discontinued, but I do wonder why the last new product from the green factory last year was the pro version of it.
Parameters: 3UG4, de-bottomed, total weight in used condition 94.0g, balance point 295mm, center bar length 210mm, moderate stiffness, fluid box frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string groove, warranty 23lbs, stringing 24-26lbs xb63.
Does anyone else think it looks a lot like the White Bow 10, in my opinion the silver and yellow version is actually more recognizable because of the color blocking on the wings of the frame, while the current paint job does lack a bit of punch despite being white. The symmetrical design of the frame, 2, 4, 8, 10 points each have C.S capsule technology applications, decal pattern because of the similarity of the color scheme will remind me of the sky axe 66. middle shaft silver gray base plus the model of the middle shaft, there are not too many design elements. However, the quality of the paint shows the true color of the green factory, know all understand ……
It is said that the bow series is a balanced racket, before I use the bow 11 and still feel that it with a slightly higher sense of head weight, and the bow 7 hand feeling that can even be used as the so-called “balanced” version of the standard. The swing weight is not high, but not to the state of lightness, the grip is more solid and not false. Swing speed is not outstanding, but the rounded treatment of the racket frame reminds me of the previously used NS8000, which reduces wind resistance so that the bow 7 is also very suitable for doubles confrontation, with a certain sense of flexibility. The current racket handle is on the thick side, and the feeling of a small palm gap after racking the racket is actually uncomfortable for me, but the Bow 7’s while-handling feel is better at avoiding this feeling. The center bar is really thick, also due to the development of the material, right?
The first thing I had to deal with in the on-court warm-up was the uncomfortable feel of using the Bow 7 for lofted shots, which were occasionally out of the baseline during the familiarization process. To be honest, the elasticity of the Bow 7 was certainly not bad at the time of its launch, and now it is also the performance of a mid-range excellent sugar water racket, but this degree of out of bounds is also still a bit outrageous to the extent that it makes me wonder if my feel is subjected to the state of not yet recovered from the illness. The green factory’s tuning of the center stick and swingweight adjustment makes the Bow 7 a racket with an extremely pronounced sense of borrowed power, and the deformation of the center stick is easy to hit, and its driving difficulty is not consistent with the “stiff” tuning orientation of the year. Weight aside, the Bow 7 couldn’t be more beginner-friendly, and it made me feel impulsive to launch a few more shots when I tried it, while the flexibility of the XB63 also added fuel to the fire.
However, the XB63 may have suppressed the “ball-holding feeling” of the Bow series to a certain extent. Although the contact time between the string bed and the head is still long in the middle of the stroke, there is no longer any obvious dragging sensation in the flat block, and the slightly lighter setup than that of the Bow 11 allows the racket to be more flexible, which is not to say that it has the advantage, but at least it has the ability to be used as a good partner in a fast-paced matchup. In a fast-paced matchup, the racket is at least capable of avoiding the disadvantage, not to mention the advantage.
The key is that the sweet spot of the racket is unusually large, and unlike the NRGZ’s very large sweet spot, the Bow 7’s large sweet spot is still explosive, and the source of this sweetness is probably the C.S cap, which also makes it quite forgiving. Even if I’m not familiar with its temperament, I rarely hit it when I’m in a hurry during the use of it, and it’s very forgiving and stable.
Therefore, when dealing with passive situations, the Bow 7 has a very good capital to cope with them, whether it’s picking up a kill and returning it to the top of the court, or dealing with all kinds of difficult returns such as those in the low backhand area or the overhead area. The longer power stroke makes a variety of dilemmas elegant and easy to get out of with little effort, and the bar for the Bow 7 is really low. Although some uploaders have called it “uninteresting”, it is precisely this state of affairs that makes me feel good about touching the fish, which is very much in line with the author’s physical condition at the moment.
However, as the former racket of Hendra and Zwiebler, it should be able to attack, which is a little embarrassing. The Bow 7 is really sugary and easier to hit a shot with some power. It may be a bit lacking in downward pressure compared to the later Bow 11, but this is something that can be improved by adjusting the stroke tempo. Despite the good feel, it does not have a very high kill quality ceiling, and does not have a very powerful attack, but needs to be more consistent to make the advantage be extended to a winning position. Also, I would like to touch its upper limit by more reckless power, but “the bow collapses easily”, “someone else’s old racket” and “pulling a thin line with a super warranty” have severely discouraged me from doing so, which is embarrassing. The thing is that neither I nor it can afford to hurt ……
“I don’t know what the current market is for it, but if you can get it for $6, compared to the Bow 11, I think it would be a better choice for those who are interested in the YY standard, have a limited budget, but are not so sensitive to price/performance ratio, and are purely novices who want a high-end racket to start with. I think it’s a better option for those who are interested in the “YY” label, have a limited budget but are not that sensitive to the price/performance ratio, and are purely new to the game. But if it were me, I wouldn’t mind keeping the Bow 7 in my usual bag for a long time to cope with my downturns, provided it’s what I have.
It’s a fun and interesting old racquet, and 15 years after it was introduced, it doesn’t seem so hard to accept that YA has come up with a high-end racquet based on it that also has a low barrier to entry – after all, it’s unlikely that the pros don’t understand their own competitive needs. However, I have to admit that “no shortcomings” leads to “no features”, so that after the trial, I look back and realize that it shows more or relies on the performance of the xb63. And it always looked to me like an old man whose bones were about to fall apart. ……

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER Z Reviews
The latest to make up a green factory Z, surprisingly is the green factory’s first z, is also a kind of destiny.
You talk about this who understands ah, now nfz kill ball record are over 500 kilometers per hour, zsp also to 493, I Arc-z year is also a member of the record over 400 how, who look down on who?
On the influence, all kinds of experts have used this antique, on the market, in the second-hand market still have a firm price. To make up for it, Solomon yo, I’m back.
Parameters: 3UG4, de-bottomed, total weight of 91.9g in use condition, balance point 305mm, center pole length 220mm, moderate to high hardness, boxed small racket frame, 76-hole wire bed, 9-3 point wire slot, warranty 24lbs, threading 24-26lbs kt66f.
I said ARCSABER series appearance design style is quite in line with my aesthetic, in addition to the classic big red ARCSABER 10 and pink ARCSABER 9fl, ARCSABER 8’s coffee and ARCSABER 11’s red and white so far there are a lot of people who eat this face. Bow Z, obviously, is banana yellow. Moreover, don’t look at the asymmetrical design in the sky axe came out only began to be accepted by the public, this kind of concept people bow z began to play. Very unique, is a chocolate banana, but also dipped in a little strawberry sauce.
Compared with the bow 11, the racket frame is directly narrowed by the thickness of a frame, so that the bow Z head even came to a little flat head flavor, compared to the zsp frame is also more rounded and proportional a little. When yyy official website to the old color zsp technology introduction page to compare the horizontal line tube sweet spot area of the object is the bow z. From the official measurements, its sweet spot distribution is more like an egg shape, head tip fart wide. Old beats have a flavor that the big boys up there don’t understand.
At first glance, the 3U is a bit wimpy, but it’s well balanced in the hand, especially when de-bottomed, and isn’t that the weight distribution of a whole bunch of 4U biased offense rackets, even with similar parameters. Moreover, the center stick is not too hard, with a length of 220mm, it’s hard not to deform in a normal overhand swing, and the drive is very, very good. The small frame also reduces wind resistance, which makes the swinging process very smooth.
Amazingly enough, the overall feel of the Bowz is still very “bowed”, with a pronounced sense of holding the ball, but without much of the crispness of a small frame. This almost makes me think of the Bow Z as a sugar water racket. The Bow IS, which I played before, had the same feeling, but it was very smooth and easy to open, and I knew the code was 2887 when I saw the red body.
And the bow Z’s anti-twist ability is not bad, pointing to the present point of view are good, and has a good speed of the ball, used to slow down the pace of the more hit the high ball naturally, that is, a shot of suppression of the high ball is also able to play and fast and in place, but also slowly adjusted to not out of bounds within the small square. This really also caters to the ARCSABER series’ demand for precise ball control, with accuracy as if it were a free chipping stick.
Let’s kill it, look at the good sense of power, look at the experience of the elasticity of the still able to fight now, it is very comfortable to use, do not need to use the face power technology has been able to play not too much to leave a crack out of the ball. When the perfect power opportunity arises, hitting the sweet spot with all your strength will be rewarded with sound effects, and at the same time, you can feel the weight of your shots, the angle of the ball is sharp enough, and the speed is fast enough to be threatening, so don’t you want to take a shot at the “Genesis”?
Even though it has violent genes, I feel more comfortable hitting the Bow Z’s point of view especially with the pressurized presentation or soft pressurized middle transition, catching the second shot to get out of the way to score. I’ve always thought that softer clubs don’t lend themselves as well to better drop shots, but that’s been turned on its head by the Bowz. …… Am I one of those men who makes the impossible possible?
The low forgiveness of the small frame is masked in the active state, however, once it comes to defense or blocking, the frequency with which the racket hits the frame and is bared reminds me of Frey walking out of someone’s room in the middle of the night and causing Thor to get beaten up.
And the doubles are really not very good, every time you want to block coherently, you will be subject to the previous beat out of the reset in time constraints, have you ever seen every time the Archangel was blown up in the Mayuri have to be in the captain’s position to shake a few frames ah? The center pole is too long and not stiff enough, and naturally it doesn’t recover fast enough from deformation. Ha, gravity-bound souls ah ……
What does the small racket frame bring to the bow series? A stronger slingshot effect, of course. A very fun racket to play with, subtly fitting my abilities and aesthetics, and more or less unexpected to use.
There’s SEED to watch again in the coming year.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 10 Reviews
The author has flopped on this racquet, had no knowledge of authentication at the time, used an imitation and thought it was good, and blew it off quite a bit. I confess truthfully, the skills have not been refined.
During the eleven days, thanks to the rhythm of the players, re-exposed to this racket, there is a feeling of long-cherished wish to be rewarded. But in general, this is a process of removing the charm.
It is not only to get rid of the old racket classic racket, but also to everyone to get rid of me.
Parameters: 3UG4, de-bottomed, 210mm center shaft length, medium stiffness, boxed frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string slot, 24 lb. warranty, stringing 22-24lbs bg80.
I believe there is basically no need to describe the appearance, who hasn’t seen this racquet before? The full racquet primer is big red, the wings have a black and white transfer finish, and the 3-9 o’clock direction is configured with the c.s. nano-cups, which is one of the sources of the holding feel of the ARCSABER series. Of course, the racquet is old and the quality of the paint itself is not good, so naturally there are more defects. I looked at the string holes, the owner should not have ever been on a high poundage, and there was no collapse after a long retention of the string.
I did my homework on this racquet, and it is indeed very sugary tuned, 3U but well balanced, with some flexibility in the swing, and a head weight that feels a notch lighter than both the Bow 11 and 9, while being under the Bow 8 in stiffness. The racket face is large, the frame is soft, the demand for power is not high, the feedback is meaty when hitting the sweet spot, but the strength and speed of the ball is good, and you can experience the elasticity of the center stick.
Because of this feature, I also quite like to use it to play against my lifelong mixed doubles teammate down the court, when she repeatedly provides a steady stream of fork-burns for the other team through her irrational hitting maneuvers, I can minimize the woeful feeling of struggling and at the same time top it off with one or two more shots.
To be honest, I think of Taufik’s backhand show, the bow 10 backhand power feeling is really very comfortable. After being hit over the top by the opponent, there is more capital to hit it back, and sometimes it is very suitable to play a fish out of water. I can understand why the Bow 10 didn’t come out with a 4U version, the current tuning of the racquet is already very well balanced.
The racquet’s performance in the downward pressure, in addition to the sugar water, unexpectedly allowed me to provide a smoother power experience, the power of the ball out of the concentration of their own explosive power within a certain range to maintain a good linear relationship. I kinda like the thrill I can get when making heavy kills with it.
Of course, the low swingweight of the racquet can still turn on the occasional point kill, but I always feel that it’s not sudden enough to get the ball out.
I also liked the flexibility that the Bow 10 gave me in doubles, although the shots weren’t as crisp as I would have liked, but I was able to get back a shot or two on sudden and fast-paced shots after racking, and that was enough.
Another good thing I noticed is that with a racket with such a soft frame, the condition of the strings is relatively less fussy. I believe the version I’m currently using has dropped pounds very badly, but it hasn’t been a constraint for me, true to form for the home.
This is the first high scoring answer YA has ever made to All Might, and it does cover all bases. However, it’s okay to see it as a king of the old days to experience once or to use it to feel the fish after one’s physical state has declined, but if it’s really used to play a serious rivalry, then it’s still obviously not in line with the aesthetic of the moment. There are a lot of people who have said that balanced is about the same as featureless, and it is the originator of this featurelessness.
It’s pretty good and pretty long-lived, but it can be gotten rid of winks in its own right. It’s been so long since it last flopped, so today I can finally put an end to it.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 7 PRO Reviews
Introduction
In the Chinese badminton community, the four combinations of Yasi, Yellow Duck, Dongdu and Desha have been honored as the “Big 4” because of their superior strength in mixed doubles. Since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the gold medals in the WBF Super Tournament have almost been won by these four combinations. Recently, it seems that among the Big 4, the Yasi combination is particularly strong and stable, and it is the leader among them, while the strength of the other three combinations is also not to be underestimated.
The Yellow Ducks, who beat Yasi to the top of the Tokyo Olympics, and the De Chambers, who are among the top mixed doubles players with their 2021 World Championships title, and the Tohatsu team, with their All-England title and World Championships runner-up honors to their credit. As a racket favored by Olympic Champion Huang Dongping and World Champion DeChiapo to compete in this year’s biggest international event, the 2022 World Championships in Japan, I am looking forward to it.
Appearance Painting
ARC 7PRO is largely the same as ARC 11PRO in terms of the style of paint design. The pearl gray color scheme is low-key and elegant, and the integration and collision of yellow-green color gives a stronger visual impact, which exudes passion and vitality at all times, just like the sport of badminton.
At the same time, the racket frame is decorated with straight line elements and silver, gray and yellow colors, adding a bit of sharpness to it. Just as YONEX’s slogan for the ARC 7PRO – Sword and Sword, Born for Battle – reminds us of our youthful dreams of immortality – the wind and the sword. -The ARC 7PRO is a great way to get rid of evil spirits, and it’s a great way to get rid of evil spirits, and it’s a great way to get rid of evil spirits.
Practical experience
The main character of this review, ARC 7PRO, is 4U G5; origin: Japan; marking stringing poundage: 19-27LBS. the frame is 76 strings holes, the racket body is 675mm in length, the cone cover design is the same as the ARC 11PRO – E.-B.CAP plus. the stringing is YONEX ABBT ball string, pulling the stringing poundage: 26LBS.
In terms of design, the ARC 7PRO is largely consistent with the ARC 11PRO, with the difference being that the ARC 7PRO adds a small modification to the center stick and frame to create a more appropriate flex and torque. In my opinion, the parameters can only be used as a starting point to understand the racket, the only way to have a clear understanding of the racket is to have experienced it, I uphold the spirit of “practice is the only criterion for testing the truth”, the ARC 7PRO as a daily use of the main racket, and record the use of feelings in different situations! I will use the ARC 7PRO as my main racket and record my experience in different situations.
The ARC 7PRO has a box frame, with notches on the top and bottom, and a non-notched frame in the center. Compared to conventional rackets with box frame design, ARC 7PRO’s slimmer frame and smaller swingweight design gives me the most intuitive experience of a speed racket when I first put it in my hand, but due to its box frame design, ARC 7PRO has a better stability when hitting the ball.
Due to the new generation of ARC PRO series with more improvements in materials and technology, the ARC 7PRO delivers crisp feedback when hitting the sweet spot, but not so much when hitting the non-sweet spot. Unlike the sugary fullness of the previous ARCSABER series, it adds more crunch and toughness into the batting feedback. The use of higher modulus carbon compared to the previous Bow & Arrow series has increased the stiffness of the frame and mid-range, and the addition of PB elastomers and the use of a beak cone cap has resulted in better pointing and ball speed, but at the expense of some of the feel of the ball.
Judging from the endorsed players and fixed parameters of the ARC 7PRO, I think it is a racquet that is more oriented to the front-center game. In the daily playing activities, it is suitable for players who are more involved in mixed doubles, especially those who mainly play in the front-center court. In this regard, the ARCSABER 7PRO performs as I expected it to, with a flat draw and fast blocking that is almost stress-free, a low swingweight design that greatly reduces the user’s exertion in the front-midcourt fast-paced confrontation, and a large frame that allows for quick and steady draws, net releases and points, a large frame that allows for easy transitions between offense and defense, and a net game that maintains the consistent standard of the ARCSABER series, with a clearer feedback of the stroke that allows for easy adjustments of the power and angle of the stroke. The clearer feedback allows us to adjust the power and angle of our shots.
The racquet’s performance in the backcourt is the most important part of most players’ concern. For the long ball, it was crisp and directional, but it was difficult to use the weight of the racquet itself, which required the user to have a higher level of power. The slice was not bad, with a high stability and speed that made it easy to control and at the same time hit threatening slings. Unfortunately, the performance in the kill shot is a little short of the ability to make a final decision, but the high stability and directionality of the racket makes it more possible to hit the drop shot and change, and the backcourt consistency is as difficult as the front-center, and can even be said to be easy to write.”
It’s worth noting that the ARC 7PRO gave me a somewhat different feel for hitting the ball in different power situations. In the middle and back of the court, I could feel a significant deformation of the ARC 7PRO’s center stick during big power shots such as draws and kills, which, combined with the torque of the ARC 7PRO’s frame having a more appropriate flex, made our power shots more comfortable. After returning to the front center, the feedback from the racket changed back to hard, with faster and more accurate shots.
Summary
The ARC 7PRO is a fast and stable racquet with a control-oriented balance, suitable for doubles players who play in the front-center of the court. The low swingweight design greatly reduces the threshold of this racquet, and the use of a slim box frame gives it both speed and stability, making it more at home in the front-center of the court, as well as in passive defense. In the high ball and hanging ball, we need to concentrate our power to hit the ideal effect, and the lack of attacking power makes it difficult to create sufficient threat in the backcourt offense, but it has more possibilities in ball control and line changes.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARCSABER 11 TOUR Reviews
I feel that recently several of the author’s usually more favorable factory has produced a lot of homogeneity more serious things, this now makes me seem to have nothing to play.
At this time, play some with the ability to cross ratio at the same time usually discuss the degree of a lower level of the product is more appropriate, such as the green factory has recently been a full series of tour, game, play. However, these levels of racket I buy their own and can not afford to, around the same level of the ball and will not be used, so …… thank you in the Feather ball friends.
That said, this does not reveal that YY is not on the list of “I usually prefer”?

Parameters: 4UG5, de-bottomed, total weight in used condition 91.02g, balance point 300mm, center bar length 212mm, medium stiffness, boxed racket frame, 76-hole wire bed, three-section wire slot, 28lbs warranty, threading 25-27lbs Takagami Steel Armor 5.
The author has been overdoing the liver in his job lately, so he didn’t have a day shift for a few days, in this way I kinda like writing about tour level, because I can at least not have to think about it in terms of appearance description. Conclusion, except for the word tour on the frame and center stick, it’s hard to find the difference with the pro with the naked eye. High emotion, maintains the same high level of cosmetic design as the pro, low emotion, report the look.
Not only the look, but also the feel is similar, the 4U version does feel a bit heavier in the hand, and for those who are still using the 3U Bow 11, the 4U Bow 11T does feel a bit heavier in the hand. Of course, the latter’s swing weight is no big deal, and even its swing speed can reach a higher level because of the narrower frame. Is it possible that Fat Tiger’s statement that the 11tour has a similar level of finish to the original 11 is now true?
One thing I can say is that the 11tour does have a lot of sugar, after all, the sweet spot is big and the drive is obvious, the ball can form a borrowed force, and it is easy to hit a shape change rebound feeling, so it is a racquet that can be recommended to newbies. Another thing is that the center stick of the Tour series has generally improved a lot recently. There is a theory that they are assembled with Nissan materials, but it is not clear whether it is true or not, but it does feel that the performance and sincerity have been improved.

As usual, the 11tour didn’t feel overly violent to me. Although the 4U size is relatively easy to use when hitting some downward-pressure shots, it is often found that it doesn’t have a violent gene when applying force, and the downward-pressure feeling is provided more for the sake of making the shots more effortless, and the upper limit of its attacking power doesn’t go beyond that of the sugar-water racket. After the opponent has formed a defensive stance, there is little likelihood that a brute force backcourt kill will go straight through the opponent, and carrying the offense through to the point still requires consistent preparation.
But this highly forgiving and frugal performance is actually quite good enough to make the 11tour appetizing when it comes to passivity. The longer power stroke can try to hit the ball a little bit more on the spot with limited movement, whether it’s underhand, backhand, over the top or chasing and underarms when blocking a good shot.
I didn’t feel that the 11tour’s speed attributes were all that noticeable. It’s not that the 11t isn’t nimble, it’s just that it’s basically out of the same mold as the 11pro, and aside from some key parts being made of different materials, the two are the same thing. So, I’m not a fan of the drawshift feel of the 11P, and I’m equally not a fan of the drawshift feel of the 11t. How to say, or lack of a bit of dry feeling, forcing the author used to neck welded to fast to hit fast need to change the way of thinking, to come to the ball to spend some time to think about the effect of soft gear soft release a shot is more guaranteed.

Leaving aside the question of whether or not I have a low IQ, the Bow 11T, a racquet with a good sense of unloading in front of the net, has already enabled me to consciously adopt a different way of thinking in doubles serve-receive – shifting from pawing at the waist and pushing the bottom of the line on both sides of the court to grabbing and releasing the front of the net and pushing the middle of the court with a stand-up racket. However at the point where I was able to hold the front court consistently, it was more only then that I realized I was missing a back court mangler ……

Anyway, having said that, I might as well give a direct conclusion, the performance not described elsewhere can be inferred from the reviews of the 11P. 11T in my hands during this trial can give me 85% of the pro feel, for some of the better ability to hit the racket more easily out of the limit of the advanced players of the proportion may drop to 70% of the top day, and this also does not change the 11tour has been quite a good player. That doesn’t change the fact that the 11tour is already a pretty good, candy-floss racket with an 11P flavor.
Price, the recent variety of tour bow 11tour is not the most expensive one, according to the color of the second-hand market around 500-600 are distributed, this gear is not surprising, but also relatively good to accept. Although it is the same as the pro does not quite meet the requirements of the author of the feel of the racket, but I can indeed cautiously recommend it to the former would have been the bow 11 audience of the batch of introductory and shallow advanced users, a little bit of mess, not Karma leek knife.

Badminton Racket YONEX ARC11 vs ARC11PRO Reviews
The AX88S/D PRO was a great success, and the AX99 PRO was a great success. It’s easy to see that YONEX is obsessed with “PRO” racquets.

Today, 9 years later, the familiar racket cover, retro coating, this time the racket crowned with PRO is actually the dusty ARCSABER series-ARC11 PRO (ARCSABER 11 PRO). As the ARCSABER that carries several generations of Olympic athletes and helps them build their dreams, it crosses the era and comes to us.

The matte metallic covered body of the shooter is separated by red, black and silver colors.

There is no pomposity, no redundancy. The simple retro elements with the design seem to pull one back to the era of CAB instantly.

The top of the racket frame is equipped with an anchor-shaped T-shaped connector, which matches the 8 holes of the wire spikes to enhance the rigidity and stability of the racket frame and at the same time effectively avoid the risk of collapsing part of the racket head.

The design of the upper and lower cross-section segmented grooves is not as simple as the full groove design of the ZF2 and NF800. However, the ARC11 PRO utilizes two new cross-section shapes to improve stability on the ball. On the top and bottom of the frame, a highly rigid grooved frame shape is used to improve the stability of the racket. On both sides of the frame, a non-grooved frame shape is used for easy deformation, which works with the sweet spot to provide ball retention and a unique hitting sensation. In addition, a highly rigid, high-strength anchor-shaped T-joint is used in the joint. This prevents frame shake during ball striking and improves the stability of the racket face.
Practical experience sharing
The ARC11 PRO in my hand is 4UG5 specification, origin: Japan; marking threading poundage: 19-27lbs;
76 thread holes overall racket frame area is large, racket body length: 675mm; empty racket weight: 84.3g (94.5g after the upper line on the hand glue);
Empty racket balance point: 296mm (296mm after putting on hand rubber on the line);
Official logo center tube direct 6.8mm (actual measurement 7.01mm) old color ARC11 (actual measurement 7.2mm) center tube elasticity moderate, hardness feedback is greater than the ARC11, handle to the top of the racket cone length: 207mm;
Cone cover design: E.-B. CAP plus, the shape is not the same as AX100Z, shorter than 100ZZ (215mm);
Threading: AB thread, 27lbs;

Perhaps in order to meet the needs of most consumers, the ARC11 PRO is very similar to the rest of the racquets with PRO upgrades: the ARC11 PRO tends to be balanced in terms of the feel of the empty racket. After measuring the balance point data is 296mm; head weight is relatively weak, when swinging the racket, the thin frame and light body structure is the first thing that makes me instantly feel the ARC11 PRO conveyed to me – “flexible” but only 207mm handle length is a sign that this ARC11 PRO is a very good racket. However, the handle length of 207mm indicates that the ARC11 PRO is indeed a singles racket.

Since ARCSABER 11 PRO is an upgraded derivative of ARCSABER 11, it is natural to compare it with ARCSABER 11 in terms of hitting experience. I was fortunate enough to get an old-colored ARCSABER 11 in 2014 (8 years ago), and I have been using it as a substitute for the main racket in my bag for many years, and I still play with it to find out the feeling of the ball after a decline in the condition or a long period of inactivity. Yes, the ARCSABER 11 is certainly a racquet that you can use as long as you want, and it will never get tired of you.

Although the hole diameter of the ARC11 PRO is not as obvious as that of the 88S PRO, during the actual experience, I can still clearly feel that the wiring in the middle of the sweet spot of the racket face is more dense, and the cohesion of the power is more concentrated and stable, and the metallic sound effect of the blow is particularly obvious. Sweet spot on both sides of the distribution of gradually sparse vertical line non-sweet spot position hitting feeling is wrapped, adsorption feeling stronger.

Although I was really amazed by its precise control of the landing point during the small ball and hanging ball sessions in front of the net, unlike the 88S PRO which is so exaggerated, the ARC11 PRO does not need to intentionally raise the hitting point in order to avoid going down to the net, to grab the net and roll the net. The control is more like the steady and delicate control based on the ARCSABER lineage, and the comfort is still the same as before! The delicate wrapping and spinning of the net in the familiar way seems to bring me back to the youthful era when I first came into contact with badminton.

Through the frame and the middle tube of the physical sense of the “PRO”, ARCSABER 11 PRO is faster, if the swing speed is only one of my experience, in the draw gears out of the ball crisp and clear is unprecedented in the ARCSABER series (excluding the A10 with BG65 line after the experience of the high poundage), although the author in the AB line with 27lbs. Although I experience in the AB line 27lbs environment, the hardness of the racket frame to improve the 11 PRO in the hardness of the ball feedback has also been significantly improved, although it can not be as aggressive as the 88D PRO that active acceleration of the aggressive pushes pouncing, but in the mid-court in the scramble in the slightest does not occupy the wind, not as old color ARC11 when the initiative to retreat, to avoid the sharpness of its edge.

The change in the center diameter (from 7.2mm to 6.8mm) makes the old-color ARC11, a racquet with a basement-low threshold for getting started, get a PRO evolution again. This also makes me very curious, if the ARC11 is like this, how can it be after PRO?
Unlike the old ARC11’s stable, fast and comfortable, the ARC11 PRO’s center tube hardness is higher than the old ARC11’s, but it is able to more easily hit the center tube’s deformation and explosion of the feel, and the whipping power is amazing. This is naturally due to the reduction in the diameter of the center tube, and the deformation rebound is faster, with which the overall feedback speed of the ball has been significantly improved.

However, the “fastness” of the ARC11 PRO also affects its offensive ability. The powerful one-piece kills have always been the old color ARC11’s key to victory in multi-tap pulls and slings. With its 300+mm balance point and rugged center tube diameter, the ARC11 PRO is able to outperform the NR, even if it is not as good as the VT.

Weak downward pressure feel is indeed the biggest problem facing the ARC11 PRO, the author’s hands of the 4 specifications of the heavy kill when the performance of the impact of the feedback and the speed of the ball will be significantly weaker than the old ARC11, and due to the distribution of the sweet spot of the surface of the racket has been slightly changed, the process of killing need to pay more attention to the fine adjustment of the hitting point.
The ARC11 PRO, with its weakened ability to defend itself, is not going to stop on the offensive side of the ball. The increase in speed gives the ARC11 PRO more diversified means of offense, fast-paced articulation corresponds to the fast rebound, swing speed of the overall characteristics of the ARC11 PRO’s means of attack in a coherent point kill, and for the control of the kill line and the precise control of the landing point to a higher level.

It’s good to know that the strange and familiar ARC11 PRO is designed with the same recipe and the same flavor, IOS square racket face layout.

The ARC11PRO is also slightly wider in comparison to the racket face, and in the passive defense getaway session, this allowed me to pick up the ball and catch it as if I was using the old ARC11 with impunity.

The E.-B.CAP PLUS is not only longer (+5mm) but also more ergonomic and easier to hold. I rarely have the opportunity to hold the racket so far forward except for serve-receiving, but I tried it out and it was much more comfortable than the traditional tapered cover. As a singles racquet, ARC11PRO seems to have improved its compatibility with E.-B.CAP PLUS, so it can be used as a doubles racquet from time to time.
summarize
While retaining some of the unique wraparound feel of the ARCSABER spectrum, the handling feel and hitting accuracy have been improved, and the fast and agile nature does give up some of the absolute offensive ability. This may disappoint some of the old ARCSABER 11’s loyal fans, but the balance between the reduced head weight and the overall distribution of matches in order to adapt to today’s fast-paced game has raised the racquet’s overall agility and compatibility by more than one notch.

The ARCSABER lacks novelty, but the moment you get your hands on it, you’ll realize that what ARCSABER brought us in that long ago era was not the ultimate control in a delicate package.
When you play a board of the long-lost familiar net hanging and accurate edge of the kill, you will remember, the original PRO brings us not only the product derived from technological progress, there may be a good sentiment that we do not forget the original.
