Arc Saber 10

Got hand-delivered the Yonex Arc Saber 10 today (Cheers Bung T). This is actually my first purchase of a high performance racket from Yonex.

Overall, I prefer rackets that are light, easy to control and highly strung (good for smashes). Used to own a Pro Kennex Boron (excellent racket with a sad demise), but now play with Prince Oversize Gold and Wilson V2 as back-up. Both rackets are really good with a preference for the Prince racket. So, I shall see how the Arc Saber feels. First impression is that it's light and feels very solid.

A description for the racket reads something like this:

"Introducing the long awaited Yonex Arc Saber 10, one of the most technologically advanced badminton rackets from Yonex. A new addition to the Yonex line of advanced level badminton rackets featuring Carbon Nanotube

	Features Level: Advanced Flex: Stiff Head: Isometric Composition (Frame):H.M. Graphite, CS Carbon Nanotube, Super HMG Composition (Shaft): H.M. Graphite, Ultra PEF Weight: 85-89gm(3U-) Balance Point: 6 (Even Balance Cover: Yonex Full Cover The new ARCSABER10 has adopted High Modulus Graphite which has been integrated into the side of the frame to produce a high repulsion power. Hybrid frame, the combination of "Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube" inside and "Super HMG" outside the frame, makes it possible to control a hard shot with flexibility and repulsion power. "UltraPEF - Ultra Poly Ethylene Fiber" has stickness and high shock absorbtion. The material is extremely light enough to float on water, and the 1 inch across is able to hang up about 20 tons. The telling shot which is requested by advanced-level players and the high repulsion by stretching and recovering its shape are achieved."

I hope all this description will translate to some improvement in my game. Haha.
