For example the 'power p-f frame' on the inner rim of the racket head is crooked. the text and lines on the shaft are not straight and not really centered on the racket. These pictures are not from my racket but from someone elses Apacs but you can clearly see that the lines are like waves.

The 'superbrands Malaysia's choice" logo is a bit blurry and also different colour on my two rackets (one racket is 3U and one is 4U so maybe they are from different factories). Also, the Apacs logo on the cone is very poor and looks like it does not fit properly in the grooves around it.

I am wondering are these things normal for Apacs rackets or have I been given some rackets which did not pass quality assurance (or perhaps are they even fake)? Please let me know if any of you poeple als have rackets with poorly aligned "stickers".

My only question is why you claim to have bought 2 Lethal 60 but the picture in the link shows Lethal 50?

Just an observation.

@firearc
where r u from? if indonesia you can get one from kedaiangkasa.com

becareful with ebay seller R******_S****** cos there has been many complaints going on.. i have vh1800 and it is a very good racket for attacking but pretty heavy..

**keong2** · 09-22-2009, 04:14 AM

vh1800 is 3u, so its racket head is heavy. apacs is priced the cheapest in malaysia than other countries of its origin. so, if i were to buy one, i will get a malaysian friend from this forum and pay for the shipping.

I just didn't have any pictures of my own rackets but since I could see that someone else's Lethal 50 had similar variations, I used those pictures to show what I meant.

Missed out that. LOL. Must be going out of my mind.

**kaloi01** · 09-23-2009, 09:16 AM

i got price from someone
vh1800 strung with BG66 with apac big bag
with RM 209

is there any cheaper?

**kaloi01** · 09-23-2009, 09:17 AM

RM 209 in malaysia

**firearc** · 09-23-2009, 11:25 AM

I tried the vh1800. Isn't it hard to feel the shuttle or am I not used to it? I mishit a lot when defending.

**kaloi01** · 09-23-2009, 11:50 PM

may be ur string tension too high

**hideko** · 09-24-2009, 01:13 AM

hi all, i would like to know some feedback on tantrum 200.

which high end racket of APACS that you all would advise me to buy?
(for attacking style)

VH1700? VH1800? Tantrum 200? or Nano range?

Hi bro, can try Lethal 50 or 60 , both are high end racket design from them,

**youthchean** · 09-25-2009, 11:55 AM

Actually depends on how offensive you are and how stiff can you tolerate.

Lethal 60 is head heavy and stiffer than Lethal 50, hence produce a more powerful smash compared to Lethal 50.

P/s - Just bought Lethal 50 & Tantrum 200 last week, compared them against my Lethal 60 =D

So, how will you rate all the 3 rackets from the standpoint of an attacking player?

**xenix** · 09-25-2009, 01:50 PM

just bought my second apacs a few days back.
was actually looking for a light racket.
the shop intro me to buy apacs 722, nice and light.
then kepoh around and found an edgesaber 9!
okay the overall look great and cheerie but the thing i like most was its balance (for me).
it just feels so right when i hold it...solid and balanced.
couldn't decide between the 722 and ES9...but finally bought the ES9 after much thinking

any comments about it?

**JohRokr** · 09-25-2009, 05:06 PM

Woohoo, just got my first Apacs racket, the Visible Hollow 1800 strung at 23lbs with Bg-80. Been using cheap 50 dollar Head rackets, from Sportchek only so far haha. Hope to feel a major difference in quality and feel.

Got a question, for others that own the VH1800, does the plastic filler on the top of the shaft come loose and move when you swing? Mine inches up and eventually falls off

i own an e/s 9. as u said it is light, balanced, and looked easy on the eye. but it is designed for the ladies'. the maker had marked e/s 9 with "love" symbols to depict its suitability for women players. still, i like it for a balanced game. if u r playing at an advanced level game, u will find it a bit of struggle from the back court, and weaker power smashes. nonetheless it is a fun racket to play skillful shots. u can get a new one strung at rm159 a pop.
