Performance: A Good Overall Racquet 9/10
October 6, 2011
Reviewer:
eXowneon from San Francisco, United States
2UG4 Tested with: Yonex Nanogy98, 28lbs
Very great control over drops and direction due to its enlarged sweetspot and power repulsion.
Gets net kills done altho swinging slower than NS / AT
Bad smashes compared to Ti-10 and AT700. Make it head heavier by adding lead tapes.
Lack of bouncing makes blocking not as good especially on very passive blocks.
Unlike NS/AT, you will feel the birdie without the pain. If I'm to use this for 4 hours of singles my arm won't feel as tired as if I use NS9K.
Overall a great racquet for doubles. Doesn't beat NS9K or AT700 in singles for a casual player. Check Yonex topics for a list of what players use in a tournament.
Results without adding lead tape: Control: 9.5/10 Power: 7.5/10 Defense: 8/10 Maneuverability: 9/10
Results after adding lead tape: Control: 9/10 Power: 9/10 Defense: 7.5/10 Maneuverability: 9/10
Experience may vary depending on the player, tension and string you use.

Sweet Racket
March 5, 2009
Reviewer:
Anonymous Person from Hayward,CA
I currently have my ARC10 3U at 24 pounds with nannoGy-95 strings. I also own the AT500, NS8000, and ARC7. All i can say is that i have a faster and more controlled smash then any of my other rackets. Clears with this racket doesn't take much effort for me, but when it comes to drops, i wouldn't say this racket can compare to my NS8000 or ARC7. Overall i feel that this racket is most fitted for ME. If your the type that likes to play hard and kill the birdie, then i would highly recommend this racket. Great racket for singles btw.

very Ear-Catching

Appearance: The majority of the racquet is RED, but the outside rim of the frame is WHITE. Therefore, if people looks at it from the front, it is a RED racquet, but if someone looks at it from the side, it is a white racquet with red shaft.
Structural Design: To me, it is a reborn of the popular Armortec 800 Offensive with high-tech material which can sustain crazy smashes. A flex-stiff shaft generates catapult effect which makes lob & drive easy.
In Action: Strung with BG68 TI at 24 pounds. very easy to move around (even-balanced) and allows people to flex his wrist to add more power to the smash Crisp and loud "POP" sound during smash and drive is very Ear-Catching.
