The ARCSABER 11 PRO is YONEX's top control racket, made in Japan with a stiff shaft and a frame built to hold the shuttle for a moment longer on impact. It suits advanced players who like to dictate rallies with precise placement and fast, flat exchanges, in singles or doubles.
Key features
-
POCKETING BOOSTER – frame shaping that holds the shuttle on the strings a fraction longer, so you can steer placement more precisely.
-
SUPER HMG shaft – high-modulus graphite for a firm, direct response.
-
Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft – helps damp vibration, so hits feel cleaner in the hand.
-
T-ANCHOR joint – anchors the shaft firmly into the frame for extra stability at the throat.
-
10 mm longer than standard – a little extra reach and leverage on overhead shots.

Stringing
You can add professional stringing on this page: choose your string and tension, and we string it at our Point Cook shop. See our racket stringing service.
Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play, and who is it for?
Control. It is built for accurate placement and stable drives, with enough stiffness to punish loose returns. YONEX rates the ARCSABER 11 PRO for advanced players. The stiff shaft needs a well-developed swing.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 3U G5 or 4U G6. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g. On YONEX grips, a higher G number is thinner, so G6 is thinner than G5.
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX advises 19–27 lbs for 4U and 20–28 lbs for 3U. Please don't string above the top of that range.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
If you want to confirm whether it is supplied strung, contact us before ordering. We can string it for you: on this page choose "Add professional stringing", then pick your string and tension, or choose "Keep original condition" to leave it as supplied. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included (YONEX BG65 $27, BG65Ti $29, BG80/Exbolt/Nanogy $30, Aerobite $32, Aerobite Boost $34). Regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days; a faster service is available for a fee when we have capacity.
How is it different from the ARCSABER 11 TOUR and PLAY?
All three use the ARCSABER 11 shape. YONEX lists the PRO and TOUR with a stiff shaft, HM Graphite frame with POCKETING BOOSTER and a T-ANCHOR joint; the PRO adds Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft and is made in Japan. The PLAY is a medium-flex graphite version that is easier to swing for newer players.
How long does delivery take, and can I pick it up?
Items in our Australian stock ship Australia-wide, usually within 2–6 business days. You can also contact us to arrange pickup from our shop at 15 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook VIC 3030.
