    Does anyone own a Apacs NanoSpeed 9000? I am fully aware that is a clone of Yonex NS 9000.

    Do they just clone the colour and design or at least 50 % of the attributes?

    I want to know a bit more about clones

    i own an apacs ns9000. how it compares with the real thing , i hav no idea. haven't got the chance to try the yonex. anyway , mine is strung at 28lbs. power is good , clears are effortless given ur used to the racket. it's headlight so its very manouverable. flicks and quick exchanges , crisp. overall , its an easy all-around racket to use.
    so are you looking to buy one?

    I have been using this apacs9000speed for about a month now. It is strung at 25lbs. I agree with zhafir92 about this racquet. Its easy to defend with, easy to play quick shots and very manouverable. But smashing from the base line is quite difficult to execute, well for me at for least. Anyway I thinks this is a good racquet given its price. BTW zhafir92 how much did it cost u ? Mine I got it at RM100 hehehe ...

    Okay this is my review. I strung the Apacs nano 9000 speed at 25lbs with BG 80.IT is awesome.Well distributed weight.For me it is good for the price i paid which is Rm 100.I bought it from KHWONG.I can smash well defend well and also control well.Overall a good racquet.

    Compared to Yonex NS 9000.The Apacs lacks the stiffness and power.YOnex has way much more power compared to the Apacs.The price is another difference.heheheh

    Of course

    The Yonex NS9000 of course give better power. It is head heavy. Not only that, it does flexes a bit when I play with mine. It is 3u/G4 strung at 21lbs. I really like it. Find it similar to my MP77 but stiffer.

    I agree with you. When i try my friend's Apac NS9K and my Yonex NS9K. The feel it totally difference especially the head of the racket. Apac is powerless when compare with the real Yonex NS9K but overall it is good as a spare racket or using it for the social play.

    They are really world's apart. The Apacs version may look nice cos it's colour scheme follows the Yonex NS9000 but the feel is much lighter and less solid. What to do cos it's cheap ma...

    It is a good value for money racket..Though it is a clone it does pack somewhat power. A light racket that give you control.

    NS 9K and the Apacs are 2 different swords man.....

    I much prefer the Apacs NS9k over the Yonex equivalent :) My smashes are more reliable and much more powerful (strings much tighter too.) I also find driving down the lines much easier. Price is right too :cool:

    Guess it just comes down to what you're used to playing with.
