APACS's 4u is not 80-85g?

[weeyeh]

I bought a tantrum 200 and noticed this. The weight printed on the shaft is 87g but the specs printed on the one is 4U (80-85g). I think the weight printed on the shaft is about right (I estimated).

Maybe APACS has a different weight class than YY. Anyone else has a similar encounter?

its quite possible. did it state that 4U= 80-85 grams on the sticker?
I remember reading somewhere that Apacs 4U is like 83/84-86.
Maybe they lied?:o

I had a similar encounter years ago. Was a armorpower800 offense. sticker-ed 4U, but weighed like 2u.

I think the weight printed on the shaft is right. Apacs Canada website stated 3U (86 - 89g). Conformation by Sir Dink's racket review - 86g.

Do post a review on the Tantrum 200.

the weight stickers on apacs rackets are inaccurate. try weighing the racket using a weighing machine

I suspect the weight on the shaft is correct as well. Can only get to the review in 2 weeks.. down with flu now and Aviva Open next week.

Have been avoiding the forum in case I pass it on to you guys :P.
