Wow, Tantrum 200 for bidding http://cgi.ebay.com.my/APACS-TANTRU...ultDomain_0&hash=item2c5bcb0456#ht_5060wt_962
Yes distributor told me he will include shipping. Not yonex string I don't think, but maybe I should ask.
Nano 9900 P is light and it vibrates. VH1700 does but VH1800 does not. APACS has removed the AV cap in the new VHs. The new cap gives better grip. By the way, the new VH1800 is slightly more flexible than VH1700. I play both doubles and singles.
May I ask comparing vh1700 to vh1800, which one has less vibration and easier to do baseline clear with less effort? TQ
Hi sxg2009, Thank you That is very helpful..mm VHS 1800 no anti Vibration cap I just wonder whether VHS 2000 or 2020 have AVC? anyone know? So vhs 1800 is quite different from VHS 1700 since it is more flexible, no AVC In your opinion, which racket is more suitable for single and which more for double?
OMG, I can't believe how hard it is to get a Tantrum 200 these days! I think one day, we'll be paying a premium for it.
It is difficult to say which one has less vibration. I feel both works well to absorb the shock. Since I am playing with VH1700 for quite some time. At present I am preferring the VH1700. This racket works well when I am tired, because the frame is very aerodynamic. In contrast, VH1800 is a power house. May be because it is slightly more flexible and head heavy. Both works well to do baseline clear with less effort. It is up to your playing style, preference and your performance at the time of your game - power at the cost of maneuverability or vice versa.
The new VHs do not have the AV cap. APACS replaced the round shape plastic/gel for good. I think the hollow technology mainly works to reduce the shock. If you prefer power over maneuverability then choose VH1800; for ease of play and good maneuverability select VH2000 (or the old VH1700). VH1800 is better for single games if you have good stamina, power and energy.
Vh1700 seems to be out of production. I have seen vh2020. Not sure if it's a vh2000 rebadge for other markets. Thank you for sharing with us yr experiences. So it's pretty much confirm that vh1800 can be hard to use being slow in nature due to it's weight. Whereas vh2000 or 2020 are easier to wield and more like a doubles racket. But would vh2000 be too head light to generate enough power?
A bit slow but you can compensate that with power. Search for VH2000 over here, there was a post/reply about this racquet sometime ago. I do not think any of the VHs are headlight racquets. If I compare with T200 (+ PU grip), VH1700 (+ PU grip) is still slightly head heavy. I feel it is easy for me to generate power from 1700 than that of from T200. May be if one likes VHs for it AV thing, 2000 or 2020 will be a good choice for both power and control.
my friend just bought the vh2000 today so i'll be testing it this week... so wait for my review on it
