Yonex Arc Saber 5 is the latest release in the Arc Saber series for 2010. The feel of the racket is similar to the Arc Saber 7 with the exception of the stiffness of the shaft. The Arc Saber 5 is a stiffer racket to more control to the player. Other than that, the Yonex Arc SAber 5 racket has the similar comfortable feel that the Arc Saber 7 has with a much sharper look of black, purple, and silver color. The Arc Saber 5 looks like the black Spiderman.

The ArcSaber Series of rackets utilize Yonexs exclusive Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube technology to create a revolutionary blend of power and control. Positioned at the sides of the racket frame, this revolutionary technology absorbs and harnesses energy from the shuttle’s impact to provide the player with unparalleled feel during every shot. This energy is then transferred into a return of supreme strength and pinpoint accuracy.

• Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube : The new Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube resembles multilayered cups uniformly stacked together providing increased durability and improved flexibility.
• Single Piece Grommet System : This single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes, creating a high-performance stringing pattern that puts 7% more durability.
• Isometric : The Isometric Square Head Shape equalizes the length of main and cross strings in the stringbed, enlarging the sweetspot for more consistent accuracy even on off-center hits.
• Built-in T-Joint : Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the YONEX built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
• Control Support Cap / C.S. Cap : Control Support Cap provides 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easy gripping, fast swing-through and the quickest manoeuvrability.
