Description
With nearly 15 years of history featuring remarkable performances by world-class athletes such as Taufik Hidayat (INA), the ARCSABER range holds a unique position within Yonex’s racket lineup. In 2007, when the range was first launched, the ARCSABER 7 introduced a new repulsion technology that ensured its success. Today, after years of research and development, shuttlecock control has become a key ingredient in giving an athlete confidence and reinforcing game control.
With a medium shaft stiffness, the new Yonex ARCSABER 7 TOUR badminton racket will offer enhanced shuttlecock playability emphasised for optimal control.
Taking control of the court can take many forms, and for the ARCSABER, it comes from a few extra milliseconds of contact time with the shuttlecock, allowing for precise and assertive shots.
The Yonex ARCSABER 7 TOUR racket is enriched with the concept of “decisive control” development.
Analysis of the previous model showed potential for improvement by increasing frame stability while extending shuttlecock contact time.
Frame stability is improved with a new rigid frame structure, reducing unwanted twisting and distortion on impact.
The new CONTROL-ASSIST BUMPER is a grommet piece placed at the top of the frame containing T-ANCHOR, micro-sized tetrapods that help maintain the vertical strings, thereby reducing unwanted string movement and improving accuracy.
To extend shuttlecock contact time, the sides of the frame, unlike the top and bottom, are more flexible, allowing for flexibility around the sweet spot.
A new technology, the POCKETING BOOSTER, reinforces the top of the frame. This inner lining is an exclusive rubber-like material that adds extra elasticity to the frame’s flex.
The advancements of the new model have seen a 6.6% increase in shuttlecock contact time and a 3.7% increase in hitting power compared to the previous ARCSABER 7 (tested by Yonex). This power is further amplified thanks to an additional 10mm length extension which will increase your hitting power by 5% or more compared to a conventional racket.

Technologies
- Isometric : Increases the sweet spot by 7%: Compared to a conventional round frame, a racket with this technology generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the mains and crosses. ISOMETRIC offers better control without sacrificing power.
- Slim Shafts : The thin shaft significantly reduces air resistance during the swing and increases your speed with less effort, giving you much more stability and accuracy.
- Energy Boost Cap Plus : Uniquely shaped cap that maximizes handle performance. The front allows the handle to flex, while the arc-shaped lateral curve stabilizes the racket face by preventing the handle from twisting.
- T-anchor : Increases rigidity for a faster return.
- Rexis Shaft : improves shaft design performance with high-quality graphite.
- Built-in T-joint : Increases the force between the frame and the handle, eliminating head twist for better control.
- Box Frame : A stiffer profile for better feel and more stability on impact.
- Pocketing Booster : Elastic material that provides more flexibility to the frame.
