APACS fan club

Hi apacs fans,
I just bought apacs nano 900 Power (red) from racquet_sports recently. He sent on 5th Feb 2010 and arrived just now 12 Feb 2010. Good packaging. He even included grip and string. So I strung the racket at 25lbs. I own a yonex carbonex30ms bought here in Japan. So, just want to try apacs since it is quite cheap. Will try it tomorrow and let you guys now the feelings.
I also measure the weight of both racket.
Provided some pictures here...enjoy!

He provided stringing service, so I just mentioned the tension and he prepared it for me before delivery.

I don't know it yet unless i try it out on the court. Tomorrow will be my weekly regular practise, so I will let you know after that. At this moment, from early observation and a few shuttle hit testing at home, it seems promising....anyway will not know until I use it in the real game.

Hey, I just returned from practise just now. WOW, that's all I can say. I think I already fall in love with Apacs Nano 900 power (Red). This is the first time I play with apacs, and think this is my best racket so far. Previously, I played with Carbonex30ms...one of the high end racket. This racket is good but I think it is not suitable with me since I play double and I need a quick manuavable racket. Then I changed to prince speedport 03 gray. This is also good but I think too flexible. Then now, I tested just now Apacs Nan900 power (Red)...strung at 25lbs (Hopefully the ebay seller strung it correctly) with Ashway string...and I can smash to where I want it to be, enough power...easy to clear to the rear court and I think my net and backhand has improved with this new weapon. Now I actually waiting for my Z-spark racket, perhaps will be arrived by next week. I will let you guys know the feelings soon. I remember, last time I strung my carbonex30ms with 25lbs, but quite difficult to clear to the rear court...perhaps string effect? or may be now I already improved my wrist swing and footwork? I could say that my feelings when I used carbonex30ms and apacs nano900 power almost the same, except this nano900 power is lighter since it is a 4u racket. I can play with my wrist easily, and may be this is one of the reason why my smash, drop backhand and net play improved. By the way, in my practise tonight, my Apacs racket clashed with my friend racket which is Armortec900 Technique. I really scared since I have read some of the apacs users broke their racket this way. The strike is quite hard, I heard from the sound. But luckily I couldn't find any mark on the frame.

Just hope in future Apacs will never increase extremely their rackets price once they have many fans

p/s: Now, I'm wondering one thing. My Apacs racket labelled, stated that maximum tension is 28lbs....I thought Apacs Nano900 power(red) max tension should be 30lbs right? May be this is new modification form APACS? by the way I wouln't go beyond 27lbs. Just wondering....

Yes the grip on my new Lethal 60 was really worthless, I immediately replaced it with the free grip given by racquet_sports.
Thanks for that!

fariz80^^^^...so what happen to your friend's A900 Technique if i may curiously ask?

**taigech** · 02-17-2010, 11:43 AM

Hi, could anyone with a Tantrum 160 or Tantrum 200 give me a better idea on its balance? Sometimes I hear its balanced, and sometimes head heavy. I have an armortec 500 and was looking at the T200 or T160, wondering if these would feel lighter than the at500 (starts to get heavy after a while

bad stamina)

Heard about a lot discussion on BP of L70. Even there is one saying BP at 276mm. I have check all my demo racket.. They all at 285-290 range. I have 1 customer so far report to me he got BP of 28x. I think he did comment here too.

I'm likely to replace every off-spec. racket that I sold. Just send me an email .. or msg.

For your info., just got 50pcs of L70. I took measurement of 2. BP are 298 & 292. Let me know your favourite when you order that will help ... .

Oh.. if the BP of your L70 lie on "HM", that will be right on spec...

Thanks

**Cyclone1** · 02-17-2010, 07:32 PM

How do I check the balance point?

**ziggy87** · 02-17-2010, 08:48 PM

same question. are there any specific tools?

**PapA_xlonG** · 02-17-2010, 09:09 PM

LOL, i use my finger to check the balance pt.

My Lethal 70 bp is 290, but its broke alr.

**milford30** · 02-17-2010, 10:36 PM

u place your finger till the racket balances on your finger, then measure from the bottom of the racket...

298 and 292..kinda big difference
the official spec is 290 +- 3mm right?
but those who get 298 would not complain

can we request to get a 298 BP L70?
