    Greeting bros,
    I'm looking for an Apacs racket that is
    1) Even balanced
    2) Stiff
    3) 3U
    something close to the Yonex MP99, it must be very even balanced. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Tried before, I feel its rather head heavy. I use thin grips.

    Would also recommend the tantrum 200/300

    Pretty even balanced. Not the fastest, but good all round

    If you feel that T200 is head heavy, then using an overgrip is the good compromise. My T200 was 288mm 3UG2 (Yonex G5 equivalent) + string + RKEP G09 overgrip.

    You could try the T500 as well.

    Also look into the virtuoso performance. I have a Muscle Power 100 and I'd say it's just a tad but noticeably less stiff then that. Slightly head heavy though. But just slightly and is slightly lighter then the typical 3U in my opinion. Good overall fast racket.

    Another trick for adjusting balance point though is to just tape a coin of whatever size to the bottom of the racket then put the over grip on after. I'm really liking thin grips so I did this to one of my too head heavy rackets that was also a little too light and it works like a champ for me now.
