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.

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 feel more power, and even more accurate control. With this racquet, everyone can improve their game.” Taufik Hidayat 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. 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.

Attributes

Strategically positioned at the sides of the racquet, CS Carbon Nanotubes enhance the frame's elasticity. This technology improves durability and flexibility, helping the frame return to its original shape faster. The result is enhanced control at the point of impact, giving you an edge in every shot. Sting Tension: Some users mentioned that the sting tension is not great, especially for more advanced players. However, it should be fine for beginners. 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.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. 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. Lightweight and Durable: The 4U weight (avg. 83g) makes it easy to maneuver and the graphite frame ensures durability.
