  • I use the 4U with all the parts attached. The head weight works well, so it sends the shuttle far very easily. On clears and lobs, the head weight carries the shuttle for you without much effort.

    It's also easy to hit powerful smashes and drives, so it works well in doubles too. When you hold it, the face feels a bit large, but the racket itself is light, so maneuverability is no problem.

    The shaft is a bit soft, so long receives and clears are easy to control, but on the other hand, it's hard to return drives and push receives when you get jammed.

    The 3U is heavier than the 4U, so for doubles it may be tough except for strong players. On the other hand, in singles, the extra racket weight lets you hit steadier net shots and smash receives than the 4U.

  • It excels in swing speed and control. It swings through better than the ARCSABER 11, close to the NANOSPEED 8000 or 9900. The face seems slightly larger than the 11, so for doubles the 11 may be easier to use.

    The feel is the grabbing feel unique to the ARCSABER series, where you sense the strings catching the shuttle at the moment of impact. Thanks to this feel, control is very easy. Compared to the 11, this one seems to grab a bit more. The 11 has a unique feel where it grabs and then repels, but this one doesn't repel as much as the 11.

  • Its durability and flight can't really be called good, so you're better off paying a little more for a shuttle one rank higher. When high school boys up to adult players hit full smashes several times, they quickly become unusable and end up as feeding shuttles. They're not suited for game practice.

    I think they're good value for money for casual clubs with lots of beginners, but even then you'd probably conclude that an even cheaper shuttle would do, so honestly, I question why this shuttle even exists.

  • I use the red-design 3U model. It's a racket without quirks, and I hardly find it hard to use. The shaft flexes easily, making it easy to put power into the shuttle. The feel is a bit soft on the forehand, and the backhand isn't as hard as the DUORA 10 either, so it's easy to control.

    When I borrowed a friend's black model, I felt the shaft stiffness and head balance were slightly different from the red one. The black one has a slightly stiffer shaft than the red. The head is also a bit lighter, so for doubles, if you play drive-centered rallies, I think the black model is better.

  • Used the 4U with all parts attached. As expected, the head is heavier than other VOLTRIC series rackets. Overhead shots are easy to hit, while receives and drives are a bit tough. The feel is on the hard side, and you can feel yourself squashing the shuttle as you smash. The shaft is stiff, but it's thin, so it's easy to flex using the weight. This shaft and head weight make power smashes easy. It's a real help that your smashes get faster without needing much of a full swing. If you can get used to the finer plays, I think it's a really good racket.
