A little bit of backstory:
I personal a 3U Arcsaber 11 Professional since March and I believe it is a extra playable racket than its predecessor, the Arcsaber 11. I owned Arcsaber 11 twice prior to now and every time I’ve to promote them off as a result of it’s extra demanding for me to play my sort of recreation. I discover Arc11Pro simpler to play and generate energy with.
After I first heard of the announcement of Arcsaber 7 Professional, to be sincere, I chuckled and dismissed the thought of a 4U even balanced racket that maintain shuttle longer on influence.
So why did I get it?
I bought outdated and wished one thing simpler to play with. I as soon as had a 4U Jetspeed 12 II. It was simple to play with and backhands are comfy. However I bought it a 12 months in the past and there’s a big scarcity of Victor rackets in Malaysia, so no simple technique to get one. I gave up on a light-weight Victor racket and went for the Arc7Pro. After I noticed the Arc7Pro in particular person, the colour is nice, much better than the images from Yonex. So I bought one.
How good is it?
The racket grew upon me quicker than I anticipated. It’s quick, very quick and straightforward to play with, to be anticipated from a 4U even balanced racket. I actually do not feel a lot maintain on influence with shuttle, its stringbed feels fairly repulsive for an Arcsaber. It is likely to be as a result of Kizuna D66 Lusty that I strung it with at 26lbs.
Low error charge is the important thing level for me to eat my phrases for doubting Arc7P being a great racket. After one session, this racket gave me plenty of confidence as I am making much less errors than I might with my regular rackets. I used to be so shocked to have extra management on my slice smash and slice drop as a result of I often sliced them out or into the online. I did not skilled this with JS12II that I owned beforehand.
I am positive lots of people could be skeptical with the ability generated from Arc7P, I would say they’re proper to assume so. Its energy ceiling IS decrease than a 3U Arc11P, however it’s also higher at steady assault. Given its weight, I discover it simple to whip it at full drive for no less than 3 consecutive occasions. Even with a medium shaft, I believe the shaft recovered quick sufficient for me to proceed my assault. That is one thing I could not do with my Arc11P as a result of its heavier weight.
Defensive and counter assault photographs indisputably have been made simpler with the racket’s gentle weight and seemingly bigger candy spot.
Last item I actually like about Arc7P is admittedly appropriate for my backhand photographs. Backhand clear, drop and smash have been an pleasing expertise and once more, much less susceptible to errors.
What I wished extra?
Weight and grip measurement, there may be solely 4U G5 accessible in my space. Thank god it fits my want.
Who’s it not for?
Sturdy gamers who like plenty of weight or penetration behind their photographs. And in case your shot has little or no variation, Arc7pro would not assist you numerous.
A bit of comparability with the rackets I frequent (All 4U until specified):
Arc11P: Influence feels about the identical however Arc7P has decrease energy ceiling.
Bladex700: Bladex700 is 3U, hits heavier however smaller sweetspot and fewer maneuverable.
NF700: Influence feels tougher and for some purpose, NF700 is much less maneuverable.
AS80X: a 3U model, a really comparable racket with Arc7P. Sting much less in assault however nice in defence.
AS100X: 100X is far stiffer and has a tougher feeling on influence, extra repulsive too.
Falcon Enhanced: FE is head heavier and fewer maneuverable, has related hitting really feel.
JS10: JS10 really feel a lot tougher and a tad slower, sweetspot is far smaller.
