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.

​@@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]

If the Tour prices are similar to Pro, I would always take Pro rackets. But do give the Plays a go. I think you might be surprised 😊

[@jtboy888]

I tried the pro & play for doubles. I personally feel the play is easier to use. Less stiff so for casual player like me is more suitable. But the pro feels lighter n more solid overall. Btw i usually use nanoflare 700, it's still quicker in drives n defence.

[@CKYew]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tommaxwell]

Out of interest, what’s the shaft length? And will the UK be getting 4UG5 or a G4? Looks amazing tbf. I’m an NR750 user, I haven’t got on 100% with any nanoflare I’ve tried, the 800 is closest but I might have to give the 11 pro a go.

[@CKYew]

It was 21.5cm for all 3. I believe U.K. will be getting 4UG5 but later this year 👍🏼

[@andretheseal9837]

Ive used both an Astrox99 tour and then went to the arcasabre 7 tour looking for a bit more forgiveness but find it just a touch lacking in punch so im very excited to try the 11 tour as a happy middle ground. I do love the 99 tour but it's a bit too head heavy for net doubles.

[@shamjidkp]

Hi CK. Very big fan of you and always follow your instructions. Currently I’m playing with 88Spro. Very nice racket but only thing doesn’t like is more string movements and string break. I’m planning to have an alternate racket choice is 88Dpro or Arc 11 pro. I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

String movement is normal. Just move it back before the next rally and you’ll be fine

Hello sir,very nice review. I am intermediate player, recently using just na nanoflare 001 feel. What racquet would you recommend for me tu upgrade game to another level..lets say more accuracy, Faster,harder smashes.., but not necessary purely attacking racquet. Mostly playing single..thank you

[@srijithbrothers]

Hi, i am using muscle power 29 lite for last 3 years. Is arc 11 play is a worth upgrade to it?

[@ramesh28018]

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.

Hello, is it true that the Tour is suitable more for attacking players? And it is a bit head heavy compared to the Pro? I’ve seen a review in youtube for the comparison.

[@quekzhihao1]

Hello! Great review! I’m curious to know if you feel that the 3U AS11P is more manoeuvrable than a 4U 100ZZ, especially with sudden changes in shot direction and fast rallies.

Hello, just to be sure I understood. You say that the as11 tour is stiffer than the as11 pro. If so, is it much stiffer ?

[@nc0re]

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]

The 11 play is easy to play with 👌

[@peejay4473]

@CK Yew, do you ever measure the balance point of the rackets? On central sports, the arc 11 play has more head weight than the 88s game! Did you notice this in testing?

[@Hai-im7kx]

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]

If you loved the 100ZZ then you should go with the 100ZZ. But do certainly try the 11 Pro to see if you like it even more 😊

[@BoWennberg]

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.

[@CKYew]

Wow! I didn’t even know the Arcsaber 8PW existed until you mentioned it 😂 however, If you’re finding the 10 being too stiff for you, you might be limited in terms of options with these new 11s’. Full Arcsaber comparisons coming soon tho

[@meryanatang4347]

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!

I dont think it'll be much harder, it will just feel different. Its certainly not crazy stiff, its just not flexible 👍

Its impossible to give a definite durability but as a super thin string, it wouldn't last very long if you're playing 4-6 hours a week on a single racket.

(because its more even balanced).

[@CKYew]

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!

[@meandermyself61]

@@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.

[@qaztz8526]

Hey men great video. Btw do you know when did Li Ning aeronaut 9000c came out? Like what date did it came out, 2018? 2019?

[@CKYew]

Good question! I only noticed the 9000C when Yuta Watanabe switched from Yonex to Li Ning.

[@rajendrakumarbommu9024]

Also I am really confused between the arc11 pro and the duora z strike both are pretty similar (I like to play fast clears, drives and net shots not that much of a hard hitter **precision is very important**)

[@CKYew]

They’re both very different rackets. The Z strike is super stiff whilst the 11 pro isn’t.

[@andrewtay9774]

Would you recommend me to get 88d pro, 100zz or the arcsaber 11 pros. I currently have a astrox 88d game. I know it’s personal preference but I just wanna know. And I am not a hard hitter

[@CKYew]

They’re all amazing rackets! It’s all down to personal pretence 👍🏼 all of them would be good upgrades from the 88 Game

[@erminmulyani1864]

I like 4u, flexible shaft, even balance to slightly head heavy balance. Is this Arcsaber suitable for me? If it is, which one?

[@CKYew]

They're not exactly flexible but not crazy stiff too. Do certainly try all of them to find the best one for yourself 👍

[@yellowclips4384]

Hey, what should I choose between Arcsaber 11 play and the astrox 99 play. I like to smash control and I’m a hard hitter. I come from arc lite.

[@CKYew]

the 99 Play is the head heaviest, check out my PLAY comparison review video

[@michaelglendy4125]

Now i realy like to use axforce80 4U, i like the control n power on this racket, can u compare axforce 4u with arc11pro 4U, which one is stiffer and head heavier?

[@CKYew]

The Arc11 Pro feels head heavier and stiffer too 😬😬

[@syedahmadnabeel2078]

Hi ck. im intermediate player. Playing for doubles and like to play both attacking and defensive but more to front court. Would you recommend which one is better 99play or 7play or 11play? Really need you suggestions 🙏🏻

[@CKYew]

Sounds like the 11 play might be for you

[@user-du2ci5pe9d]

Sir should i buy astrox nextage or arcsaber 11 tour ...

[@atilius1976]

Choosing the right badminton racket is something of the realm of the occult sciences. I am constantly lost. But after seeing your video, well, just bought the an Archsaber play. As soon as I get it, I'll let you know how it goes and if you are elegible for the role of grand wizard of badminton rackets!😁

[@CKYew]

🤣🤣 cant wait to hear more! 👍

[@Reol888]

Coming from Arc11 and bs12 user. I bought and happy arc11play havent tested the pro yet

[@bigsmokeff45]

An arcsaber play with string upgrade sounds like an ideal choice to me according to my budget

[@gabrielstanley5348]

The Arc 11 is the best racquet i ever use. I was struggling at first but slowly i build up my strength and back muscle, i can get a pretty good smashes using the Arc 11. Eventually i bought myself another Arc 11 strictly for tournament, currently using Yonex BG 66 Ultimax, 29 lbs.

[@a-cat-suki9242]

do you recommend the arc 11 in 4u or 3u?

[@CKYew]

👍🏼👍🏼 the ones I tested here are 4U and they’re pretty good!

[@ovtroll1199]

@@a-cat-suki9242 use the same weight as you are used to.

how would you compare ArcSaber 11 to Astrox 88S? in terms of Smash and Control?

[@amirtemur2236]

​@jeribaihaggaisantos6704 I have used 88s game and it was so good

[@davelee6838]

Hi CK, Is there an approximate RRP for the pro, tour and game? Can't find any info for UK =(

[@CKYew]

I’d expect them to be similar to what’s already on the market 😬

[@phutchu]

Hi CK. I plan to buy the arc 11 tour. Is it even balance? From another reviewer here in Indonesia, some said the Play series was slightly head heavy.

[@CKYew]

Yep, all 3 are even balanced rackets.

[@noahkurniawan9127]

thank you for review sir, i had arcsaber 11, and for smash is good, not as impressive as astrox or voltric model, but i love the feel. According to your review, I want to try arc11 tour than arc11 pro, because it feels a bit similar and is cheaper.

[@CKYew]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@user-td6tp1qy5f]

When u are talking about the hood time , sounds like this racket is good for control shots .

[@Arifai_Latang]

Sama bro.. Mdh2an ada rejeki lebih..

[@MegaLoLgeek]

Hi CK! Thanks for the review! I was wondering would you recommend the arcsaber 11 play or the Astrox 100 game? Can’t decide between the two 😖

[@CKYew]

I'd personally go with Arc 11 Play

[@MegaLoLgeek]

Thank you for the response CK! :)

[@crazycuber5427]

Wait a sec. Which is better in your choice. Ax100zz,Ax88dp or the Arc 11pro. I'm getting so confused now 😂 Also make a comparison video between the new strangers and the top end astrox rackets like 100,88,77,99. Thanks so much for the great quality content as usual

Its all down to personal preference eventually. Full Arcsaber comparison coming soon.

Hi CK, im your new subscriber and really enjoyinh your videos. I just wondering if you can do the comparison between Yonex rackets using play version (astrox, arcsaber and etc). Currently, i want to buy new racket but cannot afford the pro/tour type (to expensive on my pocket). Appreciate if you can do that and thank you.

[@CKYew]

That's on its way!

[@longtianhao9799]

Hi CK, may i ask how would a bravesword 12 compare with the arcsaber 11 play ?? also where did you get your stringing machine from ?

[@CKYew]

Not comparable because BS12 is a top end racket whereas the 11 Play is an entry level model. My machine is a mis-mash of different components accumulated over time 🤣

[@longtianhao9799]

@@CKYew Thank you for answering my queries ! i think i can consider the play as it is even balance and its 4U and seems fast =)

[@muazazmi9143]

Hi CK, in your opinion, in terms of power and speed, which is better arcsaber11pro or astrox 88spro?

[@CKYew]

88S Pro

[@isabellak8401]

Thank you for your review. I am a female player. Should I try the pro with 4u or 3u? I heard that 3u is given more power but worry about the weight it might hurts my elbow. What is your advice please?

[@CKYew]

I've tested the 4U and had no issues with power at all so i think you should give it a go 😊

[@johndang726]

Hi CK , thanks for the video. Any chance you can do a comparison video between the Arcsaber 11 Play and the Astrox 99 Play ? which one is better for beginner-intermediate level players to use ? Thanks in advance :)

Yes, a comparison between the 88S, 88D, 99 and Arc 11 PLAYs is coming soon!

How much better is the 11 play compared to the 7 play?

[@endless-3161]

88D Pro or Arcsaber 11 pro for doubles game?
