    Which do you guys think is the better alternative to the Yones AT800? Apacs or Winex? The Yonex price is really incredibly expensive.

    A friend bought 3 Winex "Armorpower 800" in Bangkok for about S$40 each. I have tried it and it quite a good clone to the real thing given the low cost. However, nothing beats the real thing. AT800DEF is one of the best around......

    Jeyel, if you are in Malaysia, why dont you try out Viva brand ?

    I know a number of couches in Hong Kong who uses Viva rackets and this product is said to be manufactured in Malaysia. I own one myself Viva Nanopower 8000 (which is a clone of Yonex N8000). I won't say it is close to Yonex, but it is definitely affordable and in a similar range with Winex (I also own one).

    Hmm... Now I have not heard of that brand before...:confused:

    Also - Which type of racquet do you guys think is more for doubles? The nano type, armor type or the muscle type?

    Apacs older models e.g. AP700 or PC998 are cheap and decent and durable. Winex is rather costly but if one can afford it easily then no harm trying. Apacs are coming out with higher end nano models which can match Winex i think.

    Well I finally ended up buying a APACS Armorpower 890 today. Got it for RM159.00, comes with bag, strings and grip. Haven't tried it yet, but the feel seems to be like my Yang Yang Swingpower 900.

    It's supposedly head heavy, and it's 4U,G2.

    I think it could be a new model. Got it at the Taman Megah (PJ) Badminton Hall sports shop.There were several other new looking nanopower 7001 and some nanopro models there too.
