Today I happened to hold some high-end Yonex Racquets: Arcsaber Pro 11, Arcsaber 7 Pro, Nanoflare 100z, Astrox 88S Pro, Astrox 88D Pro, Arcsaber 99 Pro, Nanoflare 700, Astrox 100z, Duora Z strike, Duora 10. shelterin Being a fast player who scores points based on speed. Most head-heavy racquets would lack control and speed in terms of switching grips while defending. I play singles mostly with Voltric 10dg(Head heavy and stiff). My Review about them: Arcsaber 11 Pro -> Perfect Racquet (Everything that you ask for) Arcsaber 7 Pro -> Once you hold 11Pro you don't want to handle any other Arcsaber. 7 is also perfect I think grip-wise there might be a difference. Astrox 88D Pro, 88S Pro -> Almost similar just 88S Pro feels more control, 88D feels more power. (Pick anyone it won't impact much). Nanoflare 100z -> Mama Mia is so light loved it, speed and control (10/10) but when it comes to smashing it would let me work more (Pro players can smash with all of these racquets) plus I could feel by touching frame one clash and its goneface-purple-sweating. Being from a normal family, I will stay away from this racquet. But it would be my fav and any day racquet. Arcsaber 99 Pro -> Head heavy so I don't like the feel and control of it (Stiff too) Astrox 100zz -> Same as above more stiff and head heavy. * All rackets are amazing it mostly depends on your playing style. I can't handle 100zz I am not ready to accept itface-purple-crying but once you get over that thing what works for others will work for you as well. Before choosing a racquet, inspect yourself what your major points how you play, and how you earn most of the points. Is it by smashing, or more by defending, long rallies?

hi, great video , by the way did you measure that swing weight with the strings on and grip because 91 swing weight feels very odd for an even balance 4U racquet. The best way to have consistent readings I feel would be just the naked frame
Can you please do a review of racquets that are good to use while playing with the Yonex Mavis 300 series. What kind of strings and what is the best tension. Also if you have any other suggestions while playing with plastic shuttles.
Kindly seeking your advice. I have been using the arc saber 8dx racquet as my primary for over 10 years. Kindly if you can advice which racquet on the market today is a best fit to the arc saber 8dx and why. Thanks again!
hey I am a lil bit confused I am an intermediate player I like playing with a 3u racquet I like hitting smashes basically powerful game.. do you have any suggestion which racquet should I go with?
Based on the BP, i think Arc11 Pro would be the closest thing to NF700, but i don't know about the durability of this rackets. Ax100zz is a HH racket and did not have any similarities to NF700 at all.
I would not say it's too heavy nor similar to arc11. Arc11 is almost a HH racket, with BP measured around 299mm (badminton guide channel) to 304mm (some channel which i forget). But arc11 pro has 286mm BP (with string and towel grip on), certainly they have different feel. So IMO, it might be similar to NF800 feel but with bigger frame of course, or maybe ax88s pro (?). One thing that im sure of based on the data, this is a fast racket even for 3U and almost a HL racket.
Its gud to see your review by real-playing experience. As the figures presented on monitor, I believe you measured the racket with string on. So the swing weight is ok at 91.5 (I myself estimate the bare racket swing weight at 85-86 which is suitable for the even balance arcsaber). However, Im wondering the balance point 286mm that is quite low and leans much to head light racket
I think it's because of his grip setting. He used towel grip which would add around 2-3 grams more than overgrip to the rackets, so it's shifting the "static" BP. I remember someone said in badminton central forum that every 1 gram added to a racket ,it will shift the BP around 1.5mm. So IMO, the best method to measure a rackets is when the racket is bare, with no string and no external grip attached.
Don't you think that you smash steepness has reduced with arcsaber 11 pro?? I mean the smashes aren't as steep compared with your other racquet smashes (astrox 88s for example)
Ive been contemplating on getting this as im not a power smasher but more of a control player. I currently have 2 100zz 4u and so far liking it very much. With your review i think the arcsaber 11 pro might make me smashes even weaker. Am i right?
@@senopriyono-8957 i used to use the 88d then switched to the 100zz because it was easier to play with. havent gotten a chance to use the arcsaber 11. as the review said, if i dont have a fast swing speed, head heavy rackets would be more beneficial.
Awesome Review! I have been using BraveSword 12 about 9 years, and ArcSaber Z-Slash for about 5 years prior to that. Knowing BS12 is one of the fastest rackets, would I expect (a) more power (b) similar speed with the ArcSaber 11 Pro?
@@nickyhicky1000 It was light and fast, but definitely even-balance compared to the BS12, which is only slightly HH. Very whippy in general, like my Z-Slash.
Few week back I bought 99pro, 99game and arcsaber 11pro. After playing few matches, I found if 99pro/game racket is in hand always want hit smashes and after few game I felt hand is heavy. While playing with arcsaber 11 pro, always want for placement/ drop shot. Overall both Rackets find good for me but now planning to play with 50% part of game with arcsaber 11 pro and for finishing game 50% with 99 pro. Putting money and doing all r&d 1😁😁😁
Just as a warning, at least test it first. I thought the same. They said it's same racket than normal 700 nano. It's definitely not, you have to try it to understand what I mean. I got my 5th Ltd racket in use, they are official versions.
Very informative 👌👌👌. Appreciate your suggestion for below query. Right now I am using ASTX 88SPro, racket is good but lots of string movements and breaking. planning to buy one more racket as additional. Option what I see is ASTX 88D Pro or ARSC11 Pro. Please advise. Thanks and keep doing your reviews.
Hi, I have both : Just to give inputs: Astrox88dpro 3u4g + aerobite boost 25lbs - head heavy - back court clears are easy - backhand clearance may be weak for beginners due to lack of quality shot - aero boost gives comfort and decent repulsion but great control with drops - speedy smashes - good for matured player - $$$ Arcsaber11pro 4u5g + nanogy99 26lbs - very light yet powerful - very well balanced weight - small movements generate high speed - back court clears are easy - backhand clearances get a bit easy for beginners due to light weight and better for matured players. - nanogy99 @ 26 offers great control and still rapid repulsion. - smashes feel speedy but marginally less than 88Dpro - good for beginners / matured players alike - faster in hand than 88D Pro for single / front double - $$$
Same with my situation. 88S Pro string breaks more frequently due to 68 holes and smashes lack of power comparing to 88S. So I've sold it and considering 11 Pro and 88D Pro
Like what you reviewed, i suppose Tour version is more friendly and familiar to original arc11. Btw i see that red-metal grey is not bad and love to see ebs cap plus applied on arc11 pro
What are you after, harder smashes or speed and manouverability? If you a hard attacker or back court player go for 3U, if you a front court player go for 4U. But it would be best if you could test it out before buying, to find the one which suited you best.
@@singgihsuhariyanto8563 thanks. Im not a hard smasher, more towards control play and likes to dropshot. So far, 100zz 4u is very nice. Im considering whether to take 3u or not for the arcsaber dt the lower Balance point.

Hi C 3u or 4 u better? in your opinion
The best review on UA-cam for Arcsaber 11 Pro after watching all the available videos.... Thanks for the inside detailed review

Loving the 11 Pro! Especially with Exbolt 63. You are right about string tension I am using 26 lbs. Great review and explanations too!
How does it feel with exbolt 63? I'm currently using aerobite for my 11 pro
@@andreanyapteckcheng1865 I love it man, its very snappy, love the bounce off the string, not as dampening as a Ultimax 66. How's the aerobite?

any review on the AS7pro?

If I recall your current racket was the Astrox 88s pro 3u?

Can you please do a review of racquets that are good to use while playing with the Yonex Mavis 300 series. What kind of strings and what is the best tension. Also if you have any other suggestions while playing with plastic shuttles.
Good review and good power play on the court.
Great reviews! Where can I get 4U version? Seems it’s out of the market in the UK.
Could you compare this racket with victor thruster F enhanced version?
Annoying only badminton insight made a review on the Victor Thruster f enhanced edition
How does this compare to the astrox 100ZX
great video
Correction. Goh V Shem is not retired. He is currently going through a rehab because of his knee injury
How would you compare the Arcsaber 11 Pro and the 88s Pro? Thanks alot
what are those shoes you wear in 7:23? :o
I just bought arcs11pro, it's amazing racket.
Is it faster than nanoflare's
I feel like it's so different from the original 11 that they should have just given it a new number.
Kindly seeking your advice. I have been using the arc saber 8dx racquet as my primary for over 10 years. Kindly if you can advice which racquet on the market today is a best fit to the arc saber 8dx and why.
Thanks again!
You have any impression on the Tour or Play as well please?
Hi! What do you think is the best string to use for this racket?
how about the arcsaber 11 tour model? Less stiff compare to pro model?
Please have a full review of arcsaber 7 pro
Did u use 4U- G4/G5/G6? Pls mention that too
hey I am a lil bit confused I am an intermediate player I like playing with a 3u racquet I like hitting smashes basically powerful game.. do you have any suggestion which racquet should I go with?
agree w you, this is the best design for the recent product
if i played 4U VT LDF and 4U AX100ZZ, then a 3U Arc11Pro is preferred. is that so?
how many tension?
The original version Arcsaber 11 in ur hand is 3U? r 4U?
from the description why this sound like the old nanoray 800-900?
How is this new Arcsaber 11 or 100zz compared to 700 nanoflare limited edition? Looking to change away from it. Frame brokes too easily :(
Based on the BP, i think Arc11 Pro would be the closest thing to NF700, but i don't know about the durability of this rackets. Ax100zz is a HH racket and did not have any similarities to NF700 at all.
Hello what grip is better? 4u or 3u? Thank you :)
Is this more forgiving than nanoflare 800?
Please preview the arcsaber 11 tour version if you can.
judging from your review, i think i will stick to my old trusted arc 11 3U5G...best all around racket so far
How would you compare this arc11pro to arc8dx?
Is the frame size the same as the old arcsaber 11?
Head size is equal, but the frame is slimer
Which one better arcsaber 11 pro or 88d pro?
11 比较均衡 属于防守型 但后场扣杀不行下压力不足 88dpro 主攻杀球 后场杀球有利 拍头较重 如果想均衡偏向攻击 77pro 不错 拍轻 拍头又不是很重 打时间长了省体力
Does Apacs make a good badminton racket?
what string is advisable to put in arc11pro 4u6
can you compare 88s pro and arc 11 pro?
So this one is faster than the 88S pro then?
Is the 3U arc11pro too heavy for doubles or does it feel similar to 3u arc11?
