Yonex Arcsaber 11 Pro Badminton Racquet - Unstrung

Authentic product , really great , loved it . Would have been better if the free stringing option included better strings from Yonex and he string itself was free too .

Experience is great! I live in the US and I got free shipping and the entire experience is seamless. The racket feels great too.

Aracsaber 11 Pro

Great racket.. Feels good while in hands as the control seems to be accurate when you contact the shuttle right.

Arcsaber 11 pro

Main reason for getting this racquet was because I was looking to upgrade from my 2012 Arcsaber 9 SP (3U G5)I mainly play doubles and prefer the rear court and was actually set on the 88D pro until I got to try it in a game. Tried a 4UG5 version and immediately felt the shuttle was “slipping” compared to my arc 9. I wouldn’t call myself an advanced player but this lack of control was super evident upon the change.I then started to consider the arc 11 pro thinking it might be a better fit from where I was coming from. I didn’t know anyone who had this racquet so i had to bite the bullet with the purchase.Happy to say that it was worth it. Quickly realized that the 88d pro “slipping feeling” was just because I was so used to having “grip” on the shuttle due to ... MoreMain reason for getting this racquet was because I was looking to upgrade from my 2012 Arcsaber 9 SP (3U G5)I mainly play doubles and prefer the rear court and was actually set on the 88D pro until I got to try it in a game.

I didn’t know anyone who had this racquet so i had to bite the bullet with the purchase.Happy to say that it was worth it. Quickly realized that the 88d pro “slipping feeling” was just because I was so used to having “grip” on the shuttle due to the shuttle hold that the arcsabers are known for. And it doesn’t matter what racquet you are transitioning from, the increased holding time is immediately noticeable when you first play with the arc 11 pro.Due to the racquet being stiffer than the arc 9, I immediately noticed an increase to the “make rate” of my precision shots. Tight nets, cross nets, soft shots from the mid court, rear court drops and slice shots. Despite being both 3U racquets, it also felt easier to manoeuvre on court so my defensive shots saw huge improvement as well.The racquet head is also slightly bigger so the increased string bed area makes this a pretty forgiving racket. There have been times where I would be clearing or defending with the wrong grip or slightly out of position, but can still get the shuttle to where I intended without much consequence.One thing I did notice is that my smashes seem to be a bit slower with this racquet despite it sounding better than when smashing with my arc 9. Maybe because it is less flexible, it doesn’t get the same whipping action before impact. I actually got the 3U version because I read that the arcsaber 11 pro isn’t really a power racquet and even strung this with the BG-80 Power at my standard 28 lbs. So even with more momentum and a little extra string repulsion, there will be a bit of give and take for upgrading to something stiffer.Another thing to add is though this racquet handles really smoothly (and is the same weight as my previous racquet), it actually tires my wrist a lot quicker. I think again it might be due to the stiffness where less energy is lost during impact so my wrist definitely feels more strained after games.Because of the last 2 points, I would say that I don’t think this is a beginner or low intermediate (upper C grade or lower B grade) racquet and maybe more suited to someone who is stronger and already has power but looking to get more precision I n their game (thinking upper B grade level and higher). I don’t think going for the 4U version would solve the wrist strain issue. In saying that, this isn’t known to be the stiffest racquet in the yonex range either so maybe it’s also just a result of transitioning from a medium flex to stiff.

Great first real racquet

Just started playing a few months ago with a cheap racquet. This one feels so much better, with the right strings ans tension it has been a joy to play with.

Loved the racket.

Genuine product. Verified it with Yonex. The packing was also well done. Using Bluedart was a good and reliable option. Got it at a very good price ₹11,699 after discount. Good job Badmintonhub.

Nice Upgrade to The Classic Arcsaber 11

Beautiful matte finish and higher string tension (28 lbs on 3U) support for Arcsaber finally! The racket has a similar feel to Arcsaber but I feel that the shaft has gotten slightly stiffer and more responsive. Fast smashes and flat exchanges will benefit more from the more responsive shaft.

Reliable, effective for defense and trusty

With my own experience of using it, its really good for what it is. With the weight of it matching the perfect swing for defense, it creates a deflecting machine.

Very easy to use

This racket is great to use regardless of skill level, works well for both singles and doubles. Not the most powerful racket but makes control much easier.

Yonex Arcsaber 11 Pro

I brought two of these Good balance and control plus user friendly Badmintion rackets, the feeling is more solid than the previous Arcsaber 11 on smash and more stable on defence as well. Very happy with them.
