Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
Arcsaber 11 Play or Arcsaber 7 Play?
They are the two most popular Yonex rackets under £50 and they look similar on paper: same weight, same even balance, same isometric head. The difference is the shaft. The Arcsaber 11 Play is medium flex, so it feels firmer and more precise once your timing is there. The Arcsaber 7 Play is flexible, so it helps you get the shuttle to the back of the court without a big swing.
| Arcsaber 7 Play | Arcsaber 11 Play | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight / grip | 4U (avg 83g) / G5 | 4U (avg 83g) / G5 |
| Balance | Even | Even |
| Flex | Flexible | Medium |
| Feel | Softer, easier power on a shorter swing | Firmer, more precise, the Arcsaber 11 Pro look |
| Best for | Newer and improving club players | Improvers who already swing well and want more control |
Still not sure? If you play once or twice a week and are still building your technique, pick the 7 Play. If you hit cleanly and want a racket you won't outgrow quickly, pick the 11 Play. You can also use our racket finder or ask our team in store.
