Thank you Roger,

Good advise.
I’m finding that with the arcsaber11, by stats its exactly what I want, by playing it, its so inconsistent and dull, I’ll spend more time with it and maybe change the strings. I saw on that website you listed above the nanoray 800 + 900, they would be worth me trying, damn expensive way of finding the right racquet 🙁 why oh why does no one do racquet try out days anymore 🙁

Interesting that they have so many of the older racquets available, best I research them a bit before I commit to anything.
My trusty arcsaber 7 is so far beyond repair 🙂 it has snapped the shaft at the base where it exits the control cap, when I say snapped, its shattered a section about 3 cm long and splintered. it took me a few seconds to figure what had happened when I was standing there with the grip in my hand but missing the entire shaft and head which were ten feet down the court! :O

I can only assume that 3 years of play and a flexible shaft on the Arcsaber 7 finally gave way to fatigue in a spectacular way!

***can I throw in a related question***
I had the Arcsaber11 strung with with BG66 Ultimax @ 23lbs, Can anyone offer a best guess at why I am inconsistent? and why the racquet feels dull in use?
Thank you for the link and advice, gratefully received
