The ARCSABER 7 PLAY is a light, flexible control racket for players starting out or building consistency. Its Hi-Flex shaft helps the shuttle travel without a big swing, and the balanced feel makes it easy to react at the net, so it works well for social doubles and developing singles players.
Key features
-
Flexible (Hi-Flex) shaft – bends easily, so clears and lifts reach the back of the court without a full, fast swing.
-
T-ANCHOR joint – anchors the shaft firmly into the frame for extra stability at the throat.
-
Built-in T-Joint – the shaft is set inside the throat of the frame, which keeps the head steady and the shot direction consistent.
-
10 mm longer than standard – a little extra reach and leverage on overhead shots.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
YONEX rates the ARCSABER 7 PLAY for beginner to intermediate players. The flexible shaft makes clears easier while you develop technique.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 4U G5 or 4U G6. 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 this 4U frame. Please don't string above 27 lbs. YONEX suggests EXBOLT 63 for control players and EXBOLT 65 for hard hitters.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
Yes, this is the strung version. If you would rather have a different string or tension, you can choose "Add professional stringing" on this page. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included, and regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days.
How is it different from the ARCSABER 7 PRO and TOUR?
YONEX lists the ARCSABER 7 PRO and TOUR with a medium-flex HM Graphite shaft and a POCKETING BOOSTER frame; the PRO adds Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft and is made in Japan. The PLAY uses a graphite frame and a more flexible (Hi-Flex) shaft for easier power at lower swing speeds. All three come in 4U only.
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.
