APACS fan club

It's a bit of a shame really, as had the quality control been better this racket would almost certainly have been one of the best available, I've emailed apacs-sports.co.uk to see if there's anything they can do for me. Hopefully they can swap it for an on spec model as surely they can return it to the manufacturer?

is these rackets any good if you comapre to yonex, like arc z-slash vs edge saber z spark.....are they the same??

**Aelred** · 02-05-2010, 08:41 AM

From what I can gatter they are clones in appearance only, they play completely differently. I hear hear the Z-Spark is itself a very good racket but plays nothing like the Z-Slash. The gems (if you get one on spec) are Apacs own models like the lethal, Visible Hollow and Tantrum.

Hope this helps

My L70 was head light as well. While good rackets I would not actually suggest the Lethal series anymore as an attacking racket since it seems that most of them are even to head light balance.

The tantrum 300 I got was right in the middle of all the specs, very happy about that.

I thought I'd just let everyone know about the reply I received from 'Steve' at Apacs-Sports.co.uk with regards to the off-spec racket. After enquiring whether or not there was a protocol for off spec rackets i received this response,

"How do we respond, I got bored reading after I recently!!!!?"

(I started my 6 line email with "I recently...")

This kind of customer support it outrageous and I encourage people to source their Apacs goods elsewhere as 'Steve' doesn't seem to give much thought to his customers once he has there money.

I'm really sorry to tarnish this thread and I have nothing against Apacs, just this particular distributer in the UK. I'm going to try and chase this matter higher up the command chain.

I was also tryn to get my hands on an Apacs racquet..i'm about to order it from racquet_sports on ebay...any one who have revious experiance from this seller plese input..i'm concerned on the conege in specs as insicaed by some in this thread...(like L70 being headlight????!!!)..i'm on to Tantrum200...

**milford30** · 02-07-2010, 04:19 AM

i got my lethal 60 from racket_sports, it's on specs, the only problem is that the paint comes off rather easily... but i think that's the problem with apacs and not him... great racket and great power tho...
only problem with the trade was that he didn't have it in stock and took an extra 2 days or so to send it... but no big problems...

Yeah let me guess was it Steve grifiths (or something like that) that you emailed ? Yeah he is a cheeky little .................. (you can fill in the gap) I once emailed him asking when they were getting more edgesaber 7s in stock to which he replied

"we don't next month, next year, never" what kind of answer is that ? All I wanted to know is when they were getting more stock and I got a reply that gave me no help at all, I decided not to buy an apace racket cause of that, and if I do I will avoid buying from Steve griffins

**dorysan** · 02-07-2010, 06:11 AM

I am in contact with phil webster, great. Just grdat guy

**anandalphonse** · 02-07-2010, 11:37 AM

As I was about to order from ebay, i have a situtation...some of my friends pointed out that since racquet_sports(seller ) is from Malaysia, there may be some import duties to be paid.

..has any one baught from abroad and shipped, could commend on this???

**druss** · 02-07-2010, 11:49 AM

I know that in Canada there is no import duties on rackets (that I've seen anyway) as I've bought from HK extensively. You will probably have to pay any federal or local sales taxes though.

**Yoppy** · 02-07-2010, 04:12 PM

bought 4 rackets from racquet_sports in one order. No import duties was imposed for Australia. Been informed that the limit here is AUD1000, above that market value 10% tax will apply

**Cyclone1** · 02-07-2010, 11:08 PM

I was considering to buy a L70. But it seems that thr is a lot of quality issue. Do you guyz still recommend me to get a L70?

should be alright, just test it out first, since ur in Malaysia anyway.... make sure the balance point is about 29cm from the bottom of the racket....(balance point should be between bottom of the (triple) arrow and the H on "HM TITANIUM POWER FRAME" on the shaft) if ur ordering online make sure u can return it if it's not on spec and get them to verify with the product before they send it off
