thx for all the reply and the information....appreciate much =) anyone try out the latest version of apacs?? Lethel 50 ??
Anyone went to Pertama complex (KL,MY) lately? Are AMP90 available there? Or better yet, could someone provide the contact number and shop name .. I'll be going to KL this weekend and probably drop by there to buy some equipments.
There's quite a few in the Lethal series, but 35 and 50 are the special ones because they have a GIANT GROMMET HOLES ON THE TOP OF THE FRAME and a steel bit or something like the ones you see on the VH series. ACCORDING to someone(drift something), Lethal 50 is apacs' latest SECRET SUPER WEAPON, in other words it's the top one at the moment. Oh yeah, there's also a tantrum 11 or something which is very cool (black racket + red grommets!) but very weird at the same time(thin but wide shaft)
I went to Pertama Complex last friday and I think Etakoh, the one next to racquet world is selling them.
based on my readings here, i conclude that AMP95 is the best APACS racket that is head-heavy. am i right? coz i am looking for a head-heavy and stiff racket, with solid feel and fast maneuverability for doubles attacking play. i think i should consider Nano900Power(red). anymore suggestions? how bout the other lines especially the new ones, Lethal and Tantrum? i read the website and Lethal50 has a high BP also.
I think Lethal 35 is the one with big grommets (similar to Prince O3 Airport). The Lethal 50 has normal grommets.
i just get my AMP90...i feel it's not really head heavier as i expected...VH1800 head heavier than AMP90?
I hv never tried any AMPxx series before... but i'm using VH1800 now and it suits me well... either it's more head heavier than AMP series, i'm can't comment on this...
dear all...is there any other way to loosen the string tension....too tight and can't play well with the tension....pls advise
no alternative, other than just keep playing with it, until it loses some of the tension.. but, best way is to cut, and restring
william your suggestion sounds a bit weird but don't mind trying if really works...please don't play me up ah...i'm just a beginner.....thanks
Hi Hellojeffo, Yes, taneepak gave a very good technical explanation as well as trying to give a layman version. Unfortunately, he seems to have lay low for abit. I hope he will return to educate us more on the other parts of a racket
Has anyone tried their Furious series? And, which is good in all-round and singles, VH1800 or Nano Pro 9600 Pro?? Thanks~
I wanna ask you guy. Does a racket used for a time, and the shaft will become more soft? Cause my nano900power shaft is getting more soft... Some more I wonder why my racket string tension drop very fast.. 28lbs, and now it like 24-25lbs only. The string will run in place.
Two very different rackets, 9600 will definitely have better defense while VH1800 will be a lot better for attacking. If you are looking for a singles racket, I would go for the VH1800.
Yes, the carbon fibres in the shaft are subjected to pretty large stresses, and each time you hit a shuttle, it flexes and there are nano/micro cracks formed. After a while, these very very very fine cracks will make the shaft feel as if it is softer. As for string tension, the drop is unavoidable. If the stringer is good, It depends on your playing style, the weather condition, the stringer, the strings, and so on... so once it drops until you don't like it, you'll just have to restring
