Expert Review:

The Yonex ArcSaber 2 CLEAR represents an excellent entry point into Yonex's performance racket lineup. This 4U-grade racket offers exceptional maneuverability while maintaining adequate power for developing players. The Hi-Flex shaft provides approximately 30% more flexibility than comparable models in this price range, resulting in excellent energy transfer for clears and drives.

The primary strength of the ArcSaber 2 CLEAR lies in its forgiveness. The expanded sweet spot benefits new players. Control is excellent, particularly for defensive shots and net play. Power generation is adequate but requires proper technique - intermediate players will find it sufficient, while advanced players might desire more.

Technology:

AERO + BOX Frame

A combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel.

ISOMETRIC

Enlarged Sweet Spot

ISOMETRIC^TM technology continues to help the world's greatest players achieve global success.

Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC^TM design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC^TM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. It delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

Control Support CAP

Sharp Maneuverability

Wider, flatter surface improves grip for increased racquet control.

Super Slim Shaft

Reduced Air Resistance

Designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power.
