About the ARCSABER series

The ARCSABER racket (which replaces the DUORA range) provides good control for a more versatile, accurate game. The balance is more or less even for maximum control and a great feel.

Weight

83 g - 4U (80-84 g). The weight (actually the mass) is measured in grams. A badminton racket's weight ranges from 60 grams to over 100 grams and is classified into different "U" weight ranges. The lighter a racket is, the more manoeuvrable and comfortable it will be. It's also easier to swing and faster, although less powerful. On the other hand, a heavier racket will be more powerful but less comfortable.

Flexibility

stiff. Flexibility is defined as the shaft's capacity to bend while hitting. Shafts can range from flexible to rigid.A flexible shaft is more forgiving and will help you hit the shuttlecock further, although your shots will be slower. While a rigid shaft provides better propulsion, it requires a fast swing and is less forgiving.

Balance

neutral. Balance refers to the racket's weight distribution. It is indicated in millimetres and is measured from the base of the handle to the balance point. A head light racket will be more manoeuvrable and reactive, making it perfect for defensive and doubles players. Head heavy rackets will provide better power, the ideal choice for offensive players. However, they can feel heavy and difficult to swing.

Composition

HM Graphite. The composition of a badminton racket impacts its price. Steel and/or aluminium rackets are sturdy, heavy and better suited to recreational use. Graphite/aluminium and full graphite rackets are lightweight and perfect for beginner and intermediate players. Finally, rackets made from High-Modulus Graphite and other materials like tungsten are designed for advanced players.

Length

675 mm, 10 mm longer. The length of an adult's racket is measured in millimetres and ranges from 660 mm to 680 mm. In fact, the shaft is the only part that changes in length. A shorter shaft will be more manoeuvrable and provide a better feel. A longer shaft will offer increased inertia for added power.

Grip size

G5 = small (80-84 mm). Grip size is measured in millimetres. Grip size ranges from 75 mm to over 90 mm and is categorized into size ranges expressed in "G". While a larger handle is easier to hold, many players have difficulty changing their grip. A smaller handle is easier to wield and lets you put more power on the racket by using your fingers.

Original strings

The rackets come factory strung with Yonex strings with a 0.70 mm gauge (not available from stores). Only very high-end rackets made in Japan are factory strung with BG65 strings with a 0.70 mm gauge.

Pre-strung and recommended

Factory tension: 8-10 kg. Tension recommended by the brand: 8-12 kg. The rackets come with a tension that ranges between 8 kg and 10 kg, depending on tension losses that occur during transport. Each brand indicates a recommended tension, generally somewhere between 8 kg and 12 kg. This is to prevent the string or frame from breaking while stringing or hitting. Finally, some rackets have a reinforced frame that can withstand a tension of up to 16 kg.

String pattern: mains* crosses, Stringing instructions for 76 eyelets A = mains, B = crosses

22*21. 4 knot stringing instructions Mains: start from top centre and continue to B9 (skipping A7, A9 and A11). Go through B12 towards A16, then go back to A14, down to B10 and finish by tying off at B8.(same other side) Crosses: Make a knot at B6 and start crosses from B9. Keep on stringing until A7 (skipping A12 and A10) and finish by tying a knot at A5.

Isometric

ISOMETRIC technology increases the hitting zone by 7%*. In comparison to classic round frames, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racket generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the mains and crosses.

SUPER SLIM SHAFT

A very slim shaft reduces air resistance and is more reactive for faster rallies

ENERGY BOOST CAP PLUS

The new top cap maximizes shaft performance. The front optimizes shaft flex and allows for maximum use of the Namd material. The arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racket's frame, preventing the shaft from twisting

T-ANCHOR

New composite material stiffens the T joint, significantly reducing twisting in the racket's head for improved accuracy

SUPER HMG

Ultra-springy graphite material (Super high Modulus Graphite) increases repulsion, putting more power into smashes, drives, dropshots and many other shots.

REXIS SHAFT

A high-performance shaft precisely designed with an original Yonex moulding technique. Improves your hitting performance.

BOX FRAME

Extra-stiff frame provides a sturdy, stable feel when impacting the shuttlecock.

POCKETING BOOSTER

An exclusive material, similar to rubber, that increases the frame's elasticity for greater flexion.

CONTROL ASSIST BUMPER

Racket head grommets have T-ANCHORs that help stabilize the strings for better accuracy.
