Yonex ArcSaber 11 Play 4UG5 Strung Badminton Racquet

Product Information

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.

One way to look at it is that it helps you hit and guide the shuttle towards where you want it to, which if you’re only looking to hammer shots off, might not matter as much to you. I feel more power, and even more accurate control. With this racquet, everyone can improve their game.” Taufik Hidayat The ARCSABER frame boasts a unique design that flexes precisely at the point of impact, allowing the shuttle to stay on the string bed for an extended period. By storing and releasing energy, the ARCSABER technology ensures precise shot-making, elevating your control and accuracy on the court. 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. The Play edition I’ve been play-testing in this review is made in China, with cheaper material, and in part, different technology. It’s super affordable at about a third of the price of the Pro, which is made in Japan. The Tour falls somewhere in the middle and is made in Taiwan.Arcsaber 11 is factory strung with Yonex BG65Ti, a personal favourite of mine although I would have preferred a higher tension than the 18-20lbs tension in this racquet. My biggest gripe with the factory stringing these days isn’t the tension but the stencil ink rubbing off the strings within 20-30 minutes of play. This never used to happen and I know this has been a source of complaint for a number of retailers. So what’s going on? Is the string coated in the factory and therefore the stencil ink isn’t bonding, or is Yonex using an inferior ink compared to that they sell in bottles? It’s Hitting Time… Another thing, string tension. I’ve tried racquets strung at 24 and 25 and I just don’t like it. I’ve been hesitating between 26 and 27, which one would the AS11 support better?

I say “should” because I found it similar to the Arcsaber 11 Play in being strong across the board with no obvious downsides, but also found that I had to adjust my technique quite a bit to get the full use out of it. I often mistimed my shots with the Astrox 77 Play and at times, I struggled to feel the tad bit extra head power when comparing them directly. Lightweight and Durable: The 4U weight (avg. 83g) makes it easy to maneuver and the graphite frame ensures durability.The beauty of the even balance and lighter headed racquets is that they tend to be that little bit faster when playing drop shots, which ultimately provides additional disguise on drop shots. Slice and reverse slice shots tend to move a little faster and take less effort. The downside is that a heavier headed racquet such as Voltric 80 or Z Force has a more solid hitting platform due to the weight and therefore provides a greater degree of feel. Sting Tension: Some users mentioned that the sting tension is not great, especially for more advanced players. However, it should be fine for beginners. If you are interested in exploring the user guide, you can find it here. Features – What We Found Lightweight and Maneuverable 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 square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame shape is designed to keep vertical strings at a similar length, as well as the horizontal strings to produce an expanded sweet spot in all directions.

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. 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. The balance point for Yonex was 295mm, it feels lighter than Arcsaber 10 and very well balanced, really slightly head heavy though. In an attempt to make this more tangible, I’ll give you an arbitrary number as that can sometimes be easier to understand. It felt as if I was able to hit one meter (roughly one yard) further on a clear, or with 25% more power, when using the powerful Yonex Astrox 100 Game compared to the Arcsaber 11 Play if I didn’t concentrate hard on my technique during the shot (as is often the case if we’re under pressure during a match).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. Mô tả Vợt Yonex ArcSaber 11 Play | Cây vợt cân bằng dễ thuần 1. GIỚI THIỆU SẢN PHẨM VỢT YONEX ARCSABER 11 PLAY:

My clears were sailing to the rear court with relative ease. As you would expect from a Yonex racquet, there is minimal torsion which meant that when I hit slightly off centre the shuttle still flew true – this is very important when testing racquets. Overall I was delighted with the power from the clear. 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. 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 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 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.Designed for comfort and stability, the Arcsaber 11 Play features a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue and provides a secure hold. This allows you to maintain control and play for longer durations without discomfort. 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 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.
