ARCSABER 008

The Arcsaber 008 combines power and control to help you break down your opponent without breaking the bank. The Arcsaber 008 is the first middle performance racquet and completes the Arcsaber range offering an affordable solution without compromising performance.

By introducing Nanoair Spring into the resin, which binds the carbon fibres, nanoscale air bubbles in the material help the racquet to flex and bend, much like a spring. The result is a better transfer of energy from the string-bed to shuttle for an ultimately more powerful hit.

Yonex Nanoscience achieves precise control over racquet functions at the molecular level. It establishes a high-performance molecular bond of the fullerene and carbon nano-particles, creating an ultra-lightweight racquet that's thinner, stronger and more stable than an ordinary racquet for maximum power and speed from swing energy.

The lightweight, built-in T-Joint is manufactured from an epoxy resin material that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and consequently through the air. In addition super light elastic particles are fused with regular carbon fibres to create a 'light feel carbon'. This is then combined with the CS carbon nanotubes to deliver greater control and power from the higher flexing sides of the frame.

A new single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.

The Arcsaber 008 is also equipped with a Control Support Cap that provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and sharper manoeuvrability. Yonex has designed a new octahedron shaped Control Support Cap that reduces air resistance whilst encouraging nimble handling.

The popular Isometric head shape equalises the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy, even on off-centre strokes.
