My new VH2000 still have the cap at the bottom of the butt cap. Contrary to reports some do not have. Wonder if there is other diff? Tried bouncing the cock up and down less than 1 metre height at home but vibration feels the same with regular racket (ie Apacs 9900). Does anti vibration only evident for harder impact?
All VHs has that plastic cap to cover up its hole. I mentioned that the plastic/gel like material which used to be on the top of the cap of the handle is not there in the new version. When I did the same I feel almost no vibration compared to 9900P and 9900. It depends how do you hold the racket and also how far you are hitting it from the sweets spot. Looks like it is not a good test. Let know your experience after playing few games, because I am planning to buy as a replacement for my VH1700.
Length Comparison The VH2000 is also easily 1 of the longest racket. (Left-to-Right: VH2000, YY Arcsaber 008 (TH), YY NS9900, YY Z-Slash (TH), Carbonex 15SP, Carbonex 8, Victor SW35, Zelm P9990, APACS 9900, APACS Slayer 380, Zelm PP10000.
@ mail43249 where the VH2000 stands among all? what are the differences between APAC Nano 9900 and Yonex Nano 9900?
VH2000 is the first in the picture. APACS 9900 and YY 9900 are different in many ways. Exception that they are head light and looks the same. Even the weight is already diff in the first place. They play different. In fairness, the APACS is quite nice to play too.
I meant to say how do you rate/rank you VH2000 among others. So you are saying APACS is as good as the Yonex counterpart? what abut the vibration/impact shock in APACS nano 9900? How is that in VH2000?
Very powerful. More powerful than powerhouse such as the SW35 and noticeably lesser vibration. However, it is more difficult to wield due to the weight of the racket. If one has strong arm and can defend well, this will be the racket! I cant rank this as No1 as I do not have strong arms and am only high beginner. But for intermediate, this should be very nice for them. The VH2000 though heavy overall but still can swing fast! The frame is very aerodynamic and makes a higher pitch sound when swung. APACS 9900 not too much vibration but not enough power.... the APACS slayer 380 plays better than this apacs 9900.
@ mail43249 Looks like VH2000 is a good racquet and I can consider it as a replacement for my VH1700. Thanks for the review.
Hi guys, does anyone know if there is any genuine difference between the "Tantrum 300" and the "Tantrum 300UK"? According to the Apacs UK site, the Tantrum 300UK has a more head heavy balance point (click on "Specs" on the following site): http://www.apacs-sports.co.uk/catal...s-tantrum-300uk-badminton-racket/prod_39.html# This is reproduced by a reviewer: http://badminton-racket.blogspot.com/2010/08/apacs-tantrum-300-review.html As you can see, the balance point for the Tantrum 300UK is 289 +/- 3mm, which is different to a standard Tantrum 300 which has a balance point of 285 +/- 5mm. Also, the Apacs UK site states that the Tantrum 300UK has a "Unique UK specification" to it. Does anyone know more about this? Similarly, there is apparently a "Lethal 70UK", which is presumably different to the "Lethal 70": http://www.apacs-sports.co.uk/catal...cs-lethal-70-uk-badminton-racket/prod_49.html You'll see that under "Specs", it states "NEW AND IMPROVED 76 gromet system for the UK". What exactly does that mean and does it really make a difference? Regardless, if the above "Specs" are true, it sounds like the Tantrum 300UK is what I'm after, since I prefer a more head heavy racket. However, the Lethal 70UK sounds pretty much identical to the Lethal 70 to me. Anyway, will be interested to hear people's thoughts.
286-291 vs. 280-290. I would wonder if APACS has so much precise quality control over weight errors. My T200 has the same specification like that of T300 and was heavy before I put add a PU grip. I do not think there is any differences that can affect your game.
Just weighed my rackets carefully, share some info with you. All are stringed with BG66 and wrapped with PU grip except Zelm pp10000 (BG80, Towel grip). Apacs VH2000 (3U) - 96g YY Arcsaber 008 (TH), (3UG4) - 93g YY NS9900 (3UG5) - 93g YY Z-Slash (TH), (3UG5) - 98g Carbonex 15SP (2U) - 99g Carbonex 8 - 97g Victor SW35 (3U) - 94g Zelm P9990 (3U) - 92g APACS 9900 (4U) - 91g APACS Slayer 380 (4U) - 92g Zelm PP10000 - 96g
Just got an apacs tantrum 200 from AJ. I kinda suspect it's fake Reasons: The warning "do not put under direct sunlight...blablabla..might CAUSED WARPED" has spelling error and is gramatically wrong! Caused warped? That is gramatically wrong if you would ask me and it's from apacs uk. And there's no superbrands symbol(not sure though whether the symbol should be with all apacs) my serial : AP140104. It's from a reputable shop and GOD please don't let it be imitation
I highly doubt you can get fake APACS. I think the English grammatical error might be due to the management itself which has to be run by Chinese/Asians.
