Can there be a better Racket? | Arcsaber 11 (Pro) Review

- Since I started playing with Yonex I went right away with the ArcSaber 11 as it just felt great in all areas of the game. I already thought, I would retire on this racket as I didn't find anything that came close for me personal, but last year Yonex came up with another modell, the ArcSaber 11 Pro and of course I have to try that one!

Ok sir 👌❤️
What about Yonex shoes, which do you prefer?
@@yago818 currently i m using yonex shb 50 ...... white mint color......if ur budget is high then u can go for yonex aerus z
Does 11 pro break very easily ???
I've never tried the AS11 before but I hope to be able to try it soon as your review has only further convinced me that it really is a good racket from what I also heard from other players as well. Unfortunately, the price of Yonex Rackets have gone through the roof after the pandemic, I can only stick to brands that are more affordable like Apacs, Protech for now. Nevertheless, Yonex rackets will always hold a special place in my heart. Love the video!!
Thanks a lot 😊
Great video as always, Tobias! Question: how do you keep your mental strength up when playing high intensity matches?
Love your video as always Tobias! I guess it's a matter of preference, because for me it's quite the opposite. I tried AS11 Pro but just could not love it, mainly due to the 'extra-hold' feeling. My main racket at the moment is Astrox 100ZZ as I prefer a more solid feedback feeling.
Both awesome rackets and I can totally understand that many people prefer the 100ZZ just like you. As I am not the most gifted player in terms of technical skill and touch I guess the AS helps me to balance that out a little
Hi Tobi,
Another idea for Q&A:
How do you keep yourself calm down in important game points, match points? Or comeback from a being leaded quite far? And how to train mental health in badminton?
Thanks
Hello Tobi,
For the Q&A:
Can you give us advise about:
What should we do in the last 7 days before a tournament? Suppose that we have practiced since a certain time ago.
Sorry for asking too much,
The third one:
Do you have any recommendation about nutrition for badminton players in general, before and after a match?
Thank you, keep doing. We love your videos and your work!
I’m loving the AS 11 pro too! I’m thinking of doubling up 🤔
great review
Oh and i would also be interested in tips for a long day of tournament since you seem to be the expert in that area 😊
Sehr sehr informatives Video, vielen Dank. Wobei ich den arc 7 einfacher zu spielen finde. Jetzt fehlt noch ein Video deines Shuttle Talks Partner Kai. Würde mich interessieren welchen Viktor Schläger er bevorzugt.
Gerne mehr gear reviews.
Ich frag ihn Mal 😉 und vielen Dank! mit den AS 11 habe ich inzwischen viel Erfahrung daher das Video, aber sonst bin ich leider kein wirklicher Materialexperte und werde deshalb erstmal vorrangig bei Inhalten rund um Technik und Taktik bleiben, ich glaube review channels gibt es ja auch einige gute
Thank you for you video!
For the Q&A: do you think a player who trains a lot low intensity will improve more than a player who trains much less but high intensity? Think slow technique/ matches vs. High tempo multifeeding/ matches
I think training low intensity gets you more time on court and more repetitions, but it could also be hardly applicable technique, because in real high tempo matches, your stance might be different and the pressure is of course much higher
Great question for the next video 👍
I'm considering of buying this AS 11 Pro in their official store online. It's already on my cart. Just waiting for the right time on sales.
Hi Tobias!
I am a pro who is playing on the tour and I have been using the Duroa 10 3U 4G version for the last couple of years but since they are not in production anymore I am forced to switch. Have you ever tried the Duora 10 and if so how does it compare to the Arcsaber 11 Pro? Currently YONEX Scandinavia who is my sponsor only have the 4U 5 G version of the Arcsaber 11 Pro in stock. Was this the 3U 4G version?
Question: I'm considering going on a badmintoncamp in Malaysia/Indonesia - for maybe 2-3 weeks - have you heard of those and what are your thoughts on going on a camp? There are none for older intermediate players in Denmark, unfortunately. Bonus question; Would you consider making a camp in germany?
Hi Tobias,
I'm still waiting for the video about finger power 😂
Now I want to ask How can we train to relax the body, arms, ... and then quickly generate power in the stroke?
Thanks 😇
Can we get full badminton strength and conditioning video? When ever i got to the gym i get confused and tempted to which exercises i should choose to do and which to avoid.
I think the question is a bit to broad for a q&a but I will keep it in mind for a future video 👍
Yeah sure!!!
Do plyometric bro
Another high quality video Tobias!
My questions:
(1) I was wondering whether you use a 3U or 4U model? I would imagine it would be 3U as you play singles
(2) What strings (Aerobite?) and tension do you prefer?
Keep up the good work!
Was wonder the same is that 3U or 4U ?
He replied to your Q2 in another comment. Aerobite strings about 13kg tension
@@alancmchan Thanks Alan 🙏
Yes it is a 3U and tension is 12,5 on the main and 13 on the crosses
For the Q&A: What do you recommend to eat and drink as preparation for a tournament and also during the tournament?
Can I get your opinion on the Arcsaber 7 pro? I've tried the 11 pro before and liked it a lot, was wondering how it compares to the 7 pro.
Hello Tobi, do you use the 4u or the 3u version and would which would you recommend for a mens doubles / singles junior player on a high level?
Hi Tobias!
I have 2 questions!
1) How do you get better at being “consistent” in badminton? Some days I feel like I hit in the sweet spot well and I have powerful smashes. Other days I hit on the rim of the racket all the time and my shots are weak. What do you think could be the cause of this?
2) I have heard the astrox 77 pro is also an all around racket that many players (including pros) love. Have you played with it? How do those 2 compare?
Thanks for the great content as always!
I have tried both and I could say that Astrox 77 Pro would generally be better if you want abit more power, although sacrificing abit of control and speed (due to head-weight).
If you’re looking for a really good all rounder, being good in everything (although not exceptional besides control), the Arc11 Pro is amazing.
Hi, i am more than intermediate and less than advanced player. Does shaft stiffness of arc 11 pro impact my game a lot ? I'm playing with astrox 88d game with medium thick shaft and considering to shift to even balanced racket ? Can you please suggest
Q&A. Hi Tobias! I'm a player from Hungary who fell in love with badminton a couple of years ago. It's not a very well known sport in our country, not many people play it compared to other mainstream sports. How can we make this fantastic sport more popular? Thanks!
What ritual do you follow, if any, before you take a serve?
Hello, I have a question here. Is there such a big difference between Arc 11 pro 3U and 4u? What kind of player are they designed for?
Hi, mich würde ein Video über gesunde Ernährung interessieren und wie man da am besten vorgehen soll. Weil in anderen Videos ist häufig von einer prozentualen Aufteilung von Fetten, Kohlenhydraten und Eiweißen die Rede, aber mich verwirrt und überfordert das eher als dass es mir hilft 🥴
How does both compare against Astrox 88D Pro?
I’m in love with Arcsaber 11 Pro. As you mentioned it gives you lot of control. It’s very light. Give you feeling of you’re in good control of your shots.
Yes I am really impressed by the control it gives. So much easier for me to play with good height
Hi Tobias, how important is the thickness of the Racket handle? I prefer thinner onces, as the give me better feeling of the Racket.
It does matter from my experience. Think of it as picking a shoes size. The right one can make a huge impact on comfort, defense, power transfer
official answer to Racket tryout may be get in hand in the badminton store.
but many cases， Racket would be exchanged off-court and give it a try to feel other Racket model in hand from other player.
Would you give your advice on how to feel or taste a Racket in a good manner .
Like I said i exchanged Racket with my doubles partner. Without thinking, i grabbed the frame and handle and twisted a little to feel the stiffness to see if i should smash with full power and then i get “commented” :Nowadays some frame gets extremely thin. A twist would damage it. Its not a proper trial any more especially new model.
Hi Tobias, do you recommend 3u or 4u? Thanks
Dear, Yonex arc saber 11 pro is a head heavy or balance racket ?
Tried both, but still prefer the old arc 11. The old arc 11 just feels way more smooth
Arcsaber 11 play or astrox 88d play?... I play both singles and doubles... I currently have the astrox 27i and was planning to upgrade
Hey Tobias,
when is the cooperation between you and Badminton Insight coming? I like both of your channels and Greg and Jenny are sometimes in Germany.
Yes they both play in the German League and I also played there team already. I also love there channel and maybe we can do soemthing in the future! =)
Nice video. will the arcsaber 11 pro , which is very stiff be a good option for a intermediate player?
Yeah it might be a bit too stiff but if you have the chance just try it and maybe compare it to the Tour version
I tried the 11 Pro as well but I didnt like quite like the stiffness so I went for the Astrox 77 Pro. Cheers
Do you think 77 pro will work for intermediate players that are use to headlight rackets? Thanks
U said weight is different in arcsaber pro and tour..but both weigh the same..cannu please talk about differences in pro and tour versions of possible
I have bought one Arc 11 Pro. Perfect racket!
Agree, amazing racket!
Which version u will suggest for double all rounder players 3u/4u??
I've been using my Z Force 2 (4U) for many years now, but need to replace them soon as the cones have cracked and have seen better days. I can actually defend quite well the ZFII and have decent control, but would you recommend the Arcsaber 11 Pro as a replacement for it? I keep reading that a lot of players have switched over to the Astrox 88D Pro and claim it to be the superior choice. However, I would very much appreciate your professional opinion on this. Many thanks!
I have used z force 2 in past now switched to 88 d pro difference 88 more accurate shots z f 2 little more bite and power swing almost same reflex 88dp better..
@@SanjShowTime Thanks for the reply. Would you say the difference is worth changing to the 88D Pro?
Hi, mit wie viel Kg bespannst du deine Schläger?
Arcsaber 11 pro or astrox 88D pro in you opinion?
Herzlichen Glückwunsch
I find the ArcSaber 11 a bit heavy. I'm too used to the x feel power.
compare to Lining newest racket Halbertec 8000, please.
How does this compare to nanolfare1000z? Please help I can't decide
Hi Tobi, you promised us in the "neutralization shot" video that you want to make a video about the late backhand neutralization because u only mentioned forehand in that video. when is it commin? i am waiting 3 years now ;-)
Haha sorry for the long wait and thanks for reminding 😂 I hope it won't take me another 3 years 🤪
Hey Tobias, is there any difference between the blue one and the old old green arcsaber 11 as well?
As far as I am concerned it is only a different design and I also couldn't feel a difference
Can you tell your Badminton story? So when did you start to play Badminton and when/ where did you train and how often did you train at various ages.
I can say a bit about it but in the Q&A. if you want to hear more in detail: I was guest at a badminton Podcast where I got asked quite a lot about it: open.spotify.com/episode/6z66pjKaYsjrxSr6cRssm3?si=fXeMVb_vRT-vMvEQUf_APQ
Hi Tobi, have you ever tried 88D Pro? What do you make of it, compared to 11 Pro?
So far I have only tried the normal 88D but not the pro version
I love my 99pro but I do think the arcsaber is a beautiful racket to play with.
What I like about my 99pro is that it forces you to be better as its very unforgiving.
Have you had any experience with the 99pro and if so, what's your thoughts? Thanks 😊
I have the AS11 Play.
I don't understand the idea of willfully playing with a difficult Racquet.
I'm an amateur player who loves the game & competition.
@Enthusiast The 99pro just feels right for me. I love a good head heavy racket, and this thing is just that. It's also smooth and surprisingly agile. I like things that challenge me to be better.
When you get it right with this racket, it feels amazing. It forces you to hit with good technique. It's just my preference really, but most others have said that it's hard for them to use when given a go.
Most important thing I've found with rackets is, does it feel right to you? and does it make you want to play?
I look at mine and think, let's go!
@@elliotjay2273 @Elliot Jay I used to love the Voltric series a decade ago.
But now after injuries I have moved towards headlight\balanced Racquets.
I try to play with different & superior players in order to improve & participate in local tournaments.
I have never gone for any Pro series racquet, as usually it's assumed that it's meant for players who have ALREADY mastered all the strokes apart from the costing.
But yeah, if you can wield it well without risking injuries then sure, get spares.
Imho, an ideal racquet should be an extension of your arm and support/augment your gameplay/abilities.
Cheers.
@Enthusiast I completely agree, I would not recommend my 99pro to anyone that wasn't capable. I like the fact it keeps me on my toes with ensuring my consistency.
I would happily play with an as11pro if I didn't already have my 99s.
I've enjoyed this little chat 😊 thank you, I hope you have a lovely day and keep having fun on the court 🏸
No not yet but heard a lot about it and I will see that I can get my hands on it in the future
Is that true arcsaber 11 max tension is 24 25 lbs ?
nearly at 100k
Hi tobias! What strings do you use and preferred tension
I use Yonex Aerobite with 12,5kg on the main and 13kg on the crosses
How do you envision the "Match analysis and tactical insights"- bonus of your Patreon?
I already uploaded two games, where I comment on and where I show some stats afterwards. In the next one I will give some insight how I analyze the game what I focus on and what things I try to put in numbers
Questions:
1. How often do you restring your racquets, as well as how often do you use your racquets?
2. What are the monthly costs to maintain your racquet.
3. Lastly, how long do you think you would continue to pursue your passion for badminton (both, on the court and off the court)?
Keep up the great work. Hoping to see Badminton's steady increase in popularity boom in the coming years, and you're a great contribution to this!
1.8 months
2. Only grips
3. Until i die
1. 2-5 months
2. Mmm just grips so like 4-8 dollars
3. At least 40 years
How’s the 3u version for power?
Which string can we use along with Arcsaber 11 pro ? Yonex recommends bg66UM. Would love to know which string are you using
yonex aerobite is good
What strings do u use Tobias? And whats the weight in KG?
I use Yonex Aerobite with 12,5/13kg 👍
@@tobiaswadenka8435 thank you gonna try and buy this racket for my next games!!!
Can you tell me a racket for a beginer of lining
Can we get a video on how to study badminton?
What's the tension that you're using with AS11 pro? And also which string?
Aerobite with 12,5kg main and 13kg cross
@@tobiaswadenka8435 thanks a lot for your reply!! I'm planning to get the arcsaber 11 pro for myself after watching your review 😃
hi tobias, what do you think would be the difference between the arc11 and arc11 pro? and which would you recommend for a high beginner player
For me they feel very similar but the pro gives even more control at the net. Always hard to recommend a racket because it depends on your playing style. If you have the chance to try a few rackets you should do that and also try out some cheaper ones, they are also very good already and many times even more suited for beginners and intermediate players then the more expensive pro rackets
@@tobiaswadenka8435 I see, thank you tobias! I enjoy watching your videos especially the ones where you play in tournaments hahah
Hi, i have a question. I am an intermediate doubles player thinking of upgrading my racket. My current racket is astrox 88d game. I'm considering arc 7 pro and arc 11 pro. Can you please suggest one from them. Arc 11 pro has stiff shaft so would it be big concern?
I’m on current situation. My duora 77 LCW broke, playing with 88d game. Did you buy arc 11 pro? I would like to know more about racquet because buying
@@kitty_kishan2596 yes i bought the 11 pro, took few days to adjust to the stiffness of the shaft as i only okayed with medium flex before but this is a good racket . At times i felt it's not as powerful as a head heavy racket but it wasn't a concern. With bit of power it manages well and on positive sides, it improved my net play and the drops and for smashes ng99 with 25 lbs is a magic for me with this racket
How much lbs I should try??
Can you recommend a racket for intermediate player ?#QNA
Only Pro is sold in Japan.
I didn't know there was Tour and Play.
Hi you prefer arcsaber 11 pro 3u or 4u?
I’ve only played with 4U so I can’t really suggest one or other but I can commend 4U.
My friends told me that I can use volleyball shoes for badminton. What do you think?
I haven't tried it but I could imagine that they don't offer the same amount of stability for sideway movements and change of directions with a lot of speed as you do that much more in badminton compared to volleyball
Li Ning Halbertec 8000 and 9000 is good as Arcsaber 11 pro
Any chance of comparing the Arcsaber 11 Pro with the Arcsaber 7 Pro? :D
I haven't played the 7 Pro yet but I'll see what I can do ;)
@@tobiaswadenka8435 similar question here. Please do it soon. I'll be waiting for it too. :)
Hi toby. Do you use Arcsaber 3u or 4u?
I use 3U
@@tobiaswadenka8435 I also prefer 3u as I have tried that 4u arcsaber which is too light for me.
11pro do you use 3u or 4u?
3u
What do you think of ASTROX NEXTAGE?
I haven't tried it yet and I am also no expert on equipment but I am sure you will find great videos about it on the CZcams channel of CK Yew 👍
Yonex Arcsaber 11 pro or Victor Thruster TKF?
As I am sponsored by Yonex I had no experiences with other brands over the last couple of years so I can't really say anything about the Victor Racket
Is it ,3u or 4u version for more power?
3u
My main racket was a ti-10, after it broke I switched to an arcsaber 11.
I didn't know it was used by that many pros.
Although since I never got used to it I'm actually really bad with it.
is your as11 pro 3u or 4u? nice video btw
Thank you. It is 3u
Questions:
1. How much do you think gear affects the quality of your game? (Think shoes, and rackets)
2. How do you improve the ability to mentally focus/ get in the zone? For Example I find it extremely easy to slip into on some days and really hard to slip into on other days.
I also have another question about how much tension matters on a racket and how much a different racket can mess up your game.
What is the best strings that goes well with arcsaber 11 pro
I love the Aerobite but there is nothing like the perfect string for a racket. Also something very individual and see if you can try out a few different strings
3U or 4U? I assume the former
Yes it is 3U
Sir I'm from India. How are you?. I love you sir.
My dream this racket but I don't have the money to buy it😢.
Wait for the next video ;)
Hi Tobias,
can you pls give me a tip on how to get certified stringer at yonex? it‘s possible to get certified as a private person?

please help me start coaching kids in vietnam to play badminton
Astrox 100zz is the most used racquet
Yes, especially single players use it a lot
could you please share your string and its tension with this 11 pro?

Is astrox 100 zz good for men's doubles????
I loved it for singles as it gives you so much power but I felt a bit too slow in the midcourt at flat exchanges with it because it is quite heavy and swings get a little bigger there

Hey,
Bin großer Fan deiner Videos. Dieses mal bin ich mir aber nicht ganz sicher, ob das Video so ganz glücklich ist.
Zumindest als Review sollte es m.E. nicht bezeichnet werden. Schließlich wirst du meines Wissens nach von Yonex in irgendeiner Art und Weise unterstützt (zumindest klang mir das in einer der shuttletalk Folgen so). Falls das tatsächlich der Fall sein sollte, hättest du das meines Wissens nach in dem Video erwähnen müssen.
Ich will hier deutlich machen, dass ich hier nicht unterstellen will, dass diese Meinung gekauft wurde. Ich selber finde den Schläger super! Trotzdem sehe ich es eher kritisch wenn von jemandem, der eine Marke meist prominent in den Videos platziert plötzlich ein "Review" von einem Produkt von jener Marke gepostet wird. Ich verstehe unter einem Review eine unvoreingenommene/unbeeinflusste Meinung zu dem Produkt (inkl. Vor und Nachteile). Wenn allerdings bereits eine Beziehung zu dieser Marke besteht, weiß ich nicht in wie weit die präsentierte Meinung als unbeeinflusst verstanden werden kann.
Hoffe, dass du mir diese Kritik nicht übel nimmst. Evtl. ist Yonex ja gar nicht dein Ausrüster/Sponsor (o.Ä.) und ich habe das falsch verstanden. Evtl. bists du einfach großer Yonex Fan und hast deshalb nur deren Tshirts an und nicht die von der Konkurrenz ;-).
Hi Reggy, nein du hast vollkommen Recht, ich werde von Yonex gesponsert und daher ist dein Punkt auch erstmal berechtigt, ich habe keine großen Erfahrungen mit anderen Marken in den letzten Jahren gemacht, da ich nur mit Yonex spiele. Es war auch nicht meine Absicht es so hinzustellen, dass der Schläger den ich spiele allen anderen Markenübergreifend überlegen ist. Ich wollte ihn vielmehr mit dem Vorgänger vergleichen der schon seit vielen Jahren ein sehr popoulärer Schläger ist und auch mein absoluter Favorit und ich wirklich dachte, ich werde niemals wechseln wollen. Aber der Neue AS11 Pro hat mich so überrascht, dass ich darüber einfach ein Video machen wollte, auch wenn Reviews über Material absolut nicht mein Gebiet sind und ich auch nicht gedacht hätte so etwas Mal zu machen. Auch wenn es den Sponsor sicher freut habe ich für das Video aber nichts als Gegenleistung erhalten oder wurde in irgendeiner Form darum gebeten sondern habe es wie gesagt gemacht weil ich meine Erfahrungen einfach teilenswert fand. Aber danke für die konstruktive Kritik und ich kann auf jeden Fall versprechen, dass die kommenden Videos wieder mehr mit Technik, Taktik und Training zu tun haben werden. 😉
Racket sind wie Frauen, es gibt keine beste, es gibt nur die Racket die zu dir passt :)
rackets are like women, there's no best , there's only one that suit you
