DESCRIPTION
The Yonex ArcSaber Z-Slash Taufik Hidayat Limited Edition is a premium, player-inspired racket that captures the spirit and explosive style of Taufik Hidayat—the 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and 2005 World Champion.
Finished in a deep, striking red to symbolize Taufik’s fighting spirit, the design is elevated with bold black accents representing power, while sharp white flashes across the frame reflect speed and precision. Every detail, including the custom logo and engraved signature, embodies the elegance and intensity of one of badminton’s greatest icons.
Engineered as part of the PROFESSIONAL ArcSaber series, this limited edition Z-Slash is built stiffer than the standard version, offering enhanced control for advanced players. It represents a major technological leap from the ArcSaber 10, pushing performance boundaries at the molecular level to achieve faster swing speeds and more explosive smashes.
At the core of the ArcSaber technology is YONEX’s Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube, strategically placed along the frame to improve elasticity. This allows the racket to absorb shuttle impact, hold it longer on the string bed, and release energy with exceptional accuracy and power.
The Z-Slash is also known for its ultra-slim frame profile—one of the first of its kind—reducing air resistance for faster swing speeds. In testing, smash speeds reached an incredible 414 km/h, showcasing its capability as a true attacking weapon.
