I am a social player who has been at it for a few months now and i’m looking to buy a better racquet than the dire Carlton Aeroblade i bought to get started.
I have been looking at the Yonex Nanospeed 200 as a suitable upgrade.
I have come across some ‘clone’ rackets of the arcsaber on ebay labelled grade As and Grade Bs and i was wondering whether there is a massive difference between the real mcCoy and these chinese imports.

Many thanks for your question.
As you can imagine, you get what you pay for. There are a lot of so-called “clone” racquets sold on ebay. Some will say “Chinese” version rather than actually say they are a fake.
I have had the pleasure of holding a fake Arcsaber 10. Yes, the paint job is similar, but as you would expect from a fake, it does not play like the real thing.
Richy, stay clear of these racquets as you will not be happy with your purchase. These are really cheap copies with a half decent paint job and that’s the best I can say about them.
Nanospeed 200 is a nice racquet and is pretty amazing for the price. As you improve, you’ll begin to develop a feel for the type of racquet you like in terms of balance, weight and shaft flexibility. This will help you choose your next racquets a little easier.
You really can’t go wrong with a Yonex – just make sure you purchase it from an authorised dealer.
To your success

Thank Paul,
I suspected that would be the case and i’m waiting for my Nanospeed 200 to arrive as we speak.
