    Hi CK yew, I was researching between the 3 and found that except for material composition they are all the same. But your review gave an in-depth review about dimensions, materials, and made in country and helped me to narrow down my choice. Since I play to keep myself fit, I bought both Arcsaber 11 play and astrox 99 play to have both head heavy and even balance rackets. Thanks a lot for helping me to decide.

    Hello, I am having difficulty choosing between 88d pro and 11 pro. I am an advanced player focusing on powerful smashes and faster gameplay, but I suffered an injury to my wrist that has slowed my wrist down considerably, making my smashes weaker. I used to play with the 88d pro till I gave it away for personal reasons and now I am in the market again to either get the 88d pro again or try out arc saber 11 pro. What do you recommend I get for my circumstance? Thank you for your video, it is very informational.

    Thanks for great review! I consider myself beginner to intermediate and looking for a replacement for my Nanoray 20 which was great first racket. I guess I my play level doesn't require the high end rackets yet so I'm considering some of the GAME or PLAY series. I tend to play long clears and smashes (as many beginners like to) but at the same time I wouldn't be happy if the racket was too demanding, therefore I'm thinking Arcsaber 11 Play or Astrox 88D Game or Astrox 100 Game or Astrox 99 Play. What would you suggest?

      ​@@CKYew hi Mr Yew. Do you recommend Arcsaber 11 Play for semi competitive player ? Well as you know that the price of racquet in Malaysia is very expensive now. I am thinking to try Arcsaber 11 play due to your review and the price point since its budget. I could not make myself getting an expensive racket and clash with the other players. I am actually looking for budget racket and play in quite competitive matches. Tour rackets in Malaysia are ridiculous as their price are RM 560 which is only abit lesser than Pro version

    • @CKYew

    Hi. Thanks very much for your review. Appreciate your effortss.
    If you can answer my query that would be amazing. I'm deciding between arcsaber 11 pro and 100zz. I've tried the 100zz and it's quite amazing. My focus is to old day have a very strong smash, but right now I play a lot of front court in men's doubles as my partners are normally all better than me and can handle back court shots better. I'm currently an all rounder player, with maybe my clears being my strongest shot, and smash being my weakest shot, and everything else on par. I've tried head light racquets in the past and have hated them. So definitely know it's a choice between balance or head heavy. Would you have any feedback to help me decide? Thanks a lot.

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good to hear you're enjoying your 11 Play. Yes, the 65 is a thick string, if you want nicer sounding strings, you'll have to go for something thinner but be careful, they do break if you mishit.

  • @BoWennberg
    @BoWennberg 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I borrowed the arcsaber 8pw from a friend last year and really liked it. I thought that the arcsaber 11 play could be similar to that because the play has medium flex as well. But you said the play felt stiffer than the pro. I have tried arcsaber 10 and that felt too stiff for me. Do you have any advice on which raquet I can buy that is the closest to the 8pw? 8pw is not for sale any more.

    Hi CK, I generally use a Medium-Flex racket. Have always been interested in the new Arcsaber 11 series. You mentioned the Pro one actually feels less stiff than the Play and Tour one. Do you think the Pro or Play one may be difficult to handle for someone like me who usually uses a Medium-Flex racket? Thanks for sharing!

    Bro, this is a great review, - i have 99 pro 3U, its perfect for me, hold time on the strings plus great power. Problem is thats old me: i have a longstanding shoulder injury but i still want to play and am trying to transition my style (playing singles) from power player to something a bit more patient and crafty. I'm worried the 99 pro 3u will wreck my shoulder even more, (but actually i found it easier on my arm than the 4u i tried and the 100 zz which i tried), wonder whether the arcsaber 11will be kinder on my shoulder? (because its more even balanced).

    • @CKYew
      @CKYew  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you like the 99 Pro, the 11 Pro will have a bit more hold but certainly not as much head weight so do try it out!

      @@CKYew Yea. I've never known a racket with better feel than the 99 Pro (my previous favourite was Armortec 900 Technique). Even playing half-crippled as i am now, it seems unfairly advantageous! Hard to believe there could exist a racket with more hold: the only reason i'm even considering getting a different racket is that i've got shoulder problems and i'm trying to make it easier on my body.

Will the Arc11 Play be more suitable as it is less head heavy than 88D Game? I am an intermediate player with not so strong arms and wrist. Would appreciate too if you can recommend a more suitable string tension for this racket. I normally use bg66 Ultimax😊
