ArcSaber 7 Pro: a Japan Open title 16 days after its worldwide release
A title at its first tournament
Yonex released the new ArcSaber 7 worldwide on August 19, 2022, and it won the first tournament it played. Yonex says the racquet made its debut at the Japan Open in Osaka with Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh, the world mixed doubles champion the previous December on a Duora 10 LT. On September 4 he and Sapsiree Taerattanachai, then the world’s top-ranked pair, came back to win the final 16–21, 23–21, 21–18 over Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino, their first Japan Open title. Yonex Japan’s report noted that both played ArcSabers: Dechapol the new ArcSaber 7 Pro, Sapsiree the ArcSaber 11 Pro launched that February. The same pairs met in the 2023 Japan Open final, with Dechapol again listed on the 7 Pro, and that time the Japanese pair won.
Hold for flight
Yonex announced the reimagined ArcSaber 7 on June 27, 2022, in three models, Pro, Tour and Play, built on one concept with different materials, under the theme “hold for flight.” It recalled that the first ArcSaber 7 had arrived in 2007, when repulsion-based racquets were the standard, and said analysis of the previous model showed room to make the frame more stable while keeping the shuttle on the strings longer. Its answer was the Enhanced ArcSaber Frame. Yonex Japan says the top and bottom of the head have a grooved, rigid cross-section for face stability, while the sides, where the sweet spot sits, are left ungrooved so they flex. Lining those sides is the Pocketing Booster, an elastomer that Yonex says stretches and recovers quickly for more hold and a faster launch, and which first appeared on the ArcSaber 11 Pro. The shaft was redesigned to twist on impact for more repulsion, and T-Anchor stiffens the joint.
Wei Yaxin, Huang Dongping and the doubles players
Yonex’s launch copy named three players for the new ArcSaber 7: China’s Huang Dongping, the Tokyo 2020 mixed doubles champion, and Thailand’s leading women’s doubles pair, Rawinda Prajongjai and Jongkolphan Kititharakul. Yonex Japan’s reports then list the Pro for a run of titles. Wei Yaxin had it when she and Jiang Zhenbang, ranked 151st a year earlier, won the October 2023 French Open, 21–17, 15–21, 21–12, and when they beat Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong 21–11, 21–14 in the June 2024 Indonesia Open final. Yonex Japan’s Indonesia report calls them the 2023 world champions, but they had taken bronze that August, when the title went to Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jung. Huang Dongping is listed on the 7 Pro as she and Feng Yanzhe won the March 2024 French Open, 21–16, 21–16 over Seo and Chae, and on the Astrox 77 Pro by that November.
Pro, Tour, Play and the 11 Pro
Yonex makes the Pro, item code ARC7-P, in Japan in one finish, Gray/Yellow, and only in 4U (average 83 g) with grips 5 and 6. It rates the flex medium and the balance even, marks the frame 10 mm longer than standard and recommends 19–27 lb; Yonex Japan’s launch price was ¥24,000 before tax. The Taiwan-made Tour keeps the Pocketing Booster and the medium flex but has no Ultra PE Fiber in its shaft, and the China-made Play is a Hi-Flex graphite racquet without the Booster; both launched with the Pro in August 2022, and each has its own page. Both share the Pro’s 4U weight and Gray/Yellow, and in 2026 both were added in Light Beige, the finish in which Yonex Japan first released the Tour that March; the Pro has kept its single finish. The ArcSaber 11 Pro shares the frame concept, Pocketing Booster and T-Anchor, but Yonex lists it as stiff, adds Super HMG to its shaft and sells it in 3U as well as 4U. The 2007 ArcSaber 7 shares only the name and the shuttle-hold idea, and has its own page.
Current production
The ArcSaber 7 Pro has been in Yonex’s range since August 2022 and still is: Yonex Japan lists it in Gray/Yellow beside the ArcSaber 11 Pro, the 7 Tour and the ArcSaber 3 and ArcSaber 1 of 2023, and no limited or player edition of the Pro is documented. New stock is the normal way to buy one, and with a single weight class a player chooses only the grip. The verified sales shown above come from the Asian resale market in September 2026 and are mostly pre-owned, with new and pre-owned valued separately. Read them with the name in mind. “ArcSaber 7” on its own can mean the Pro, the Tour, the Play or the 2007 original, and only the PRO marking or the code ARC7-P identifies this racquet.
Fakes and look-alikes
No counterfeit specific to the ArcSaber 7 Pro has been documented. Yonex’s guidance warns that counterfeits are hard to tell from genuine racquets by sight and circulate especially on online shopping sites, auctions and flea markets, and a Japan-made frame seen on the world tour is the kind counterfeiters copy, so the general checks apply. The likelier problem is the wrong racquet under the right name. The Tour and Play share the finish and the weight, the Tour shares the Pocketing Booster and the medium flex, and sellers describe the Pro’s colors inconsistently, sometimes as black and yellow. The printed PRO name, the item code and the Made in Japan line settle it. The callout lists the checks.
The softer of the two Pros
Yonex’s 2022 relaunch rebuilt the ArcSaber line’s two mainstay numbers, the 11 in February and the 7 in August, each in Pro, Tour and Play tiers. Of the two Pros, Yonex Japan’s suitability grid rates the 7 best for intermediate men and for both intermediate and advanced women, and the 11 best for advanced men. Germany’s Badlab test team, reviewing the 7 Pro that October, called it “a tradition continues,” found the same head design as the 11 Pro without its Control-Assist Bumper, and recommended it for control-minded doubles and mixed players. Its record has since reached women’s doubles. Mayu Matsumoto, on Yonex’s lists with it since at least June 2024, won the Super 1000 Malaysia Open in January 2025 with Yuki Fukushima, a pair formed that autumn and ranked 93rd, beating China’s Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian 17–21, 21–15, 21–15.
Check the tier first. The Pro is printed ARCSABER 7 PRO, item code ARC7-P, finished in Gray/Yellow and made in Japan. Yonex lists one weight class, 4U (average 83 g) with grips 5 or 6, so a 3U or 2U frame is not a 7 Pro; the 2007 ArcSaber 7 came only in 3U and 2U. Yonex rates the flex medium and the balance even, marks the frame 10 mm longer than standard, and lists HM Graphite with Pocketing Booster in the frame, HM Graphite with Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft, and T-Anchor at the joint; Super HMG belongs to the ArcSaber 11 Pro’s shaft, not this one. The Tour and Play share the Gray/Yellow finish and the 4U weight, so a frame without the PRO name is one of those. Yonex’s own test is the hologram sticker, which resists lifting with a fingernail.
A current, Japan-made control racquet with a fully published specification, so a player can buy it new and choose on grip alone. For collectors its documented story is tour use in doubles: Dechapol’s Japan Open at its debut, Jiang and Wei’s rise up the rankings and Matsumoto’s Malaysia Open. When buying second-hand, confirm the PRO marking, the ARC7-P code and Made in Japan before anything else, and treat any claim that a frame was a named player’s match racquet as unproven without documentation.
