In September 2009. ArcSaber Z-Slash recorded a smash of over 400km/h, setting a new world record speed for badminton -- the world's fastest racket sport.

The Z-Slash features three dimensions of technology to bring out a player
ARCABER Z-SLASH FEATURE:
CUP-STACK CARBON NANOTUBE:
Increased durability and improved flexibility allows the frame to return back to its original shape faster.
Positioned at the sides of the racquet, CS Carbon Nanotubes improve the frame's elasticity holding the shuttle on the string bed for enhanced control at the point of impact.
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.
NEW GROMMET SYSTEM:
This single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes, creating a high-performance stringing pattern that puts 7% more durability.
NEW BUILT-IN-T-JOINT:
The new lightweight Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from an epoxy resin material that enhances the level of quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.
Ultra PEF:
"UltraPEF - Ultra Poly Ethylene Fiber" has stickiness and high shock absorption. The material is extremely light enough to float on water, and the 1 inch across is able to hang up about 20 tons. The telling shot which is requested by advanced-level players and the high repulsion by stretching and recovering its shape are achieved.
COMPACT FRAME:
The smaller frame size further reduces unwanted air resistance and improves feel.
SUPER SLIM LONG SHAFT:
The slimmest racquet ever produced by Yonex vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum flex.
SUPER HMG
The new ARCSABER10 is adopted High Modulus Graphite which has been integrated into the side of the frame to produce a high repulsion power.
Hybrid frame, the combination of "Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube" inside and "Super HMG" outside the frame, makes it possible to control a hard shot with flexibility and repulsion power.
NEW CONTROL SUPPORT:
Yonex have designed a new octahedron shaped Control Support Cap that reduces air resistance whilst encouraging nimble handling.
