Hi guys,

APACS Nano Power 900 (White) or (Red) would be great. These rackets look like Yonex Armortec 900 (Technique) and (Power). Affordable and can produce powerful smash. Have a try

Good luck!

Besides the Nano power 900..u can try the tantrum series like Tantrum 969, this is my first racket until i move to tantrum 200..depends if u like to play for single or doubles/ attacking or defend /..i suggest u bought it direct and not online so that u can have a grip on the racket before decides buying it..there are some cases here mentioning people buying apacs racket online find out that the racket they purchase does not meet its spec..

Yes, as suggested by van de nan...it is a good practise to see and swing the racket first before buy.U can feel it first and judge it.As for my case,I'm now in Japan and the only way to have APACS rackets are by online purchase. U can go to Youtube and type APACS or Tantrum 200 or Lethal 50. Find the video with title:APACS badminton racket .See in the clip all the APACS rackets that I've bought. At the moment stick to Lethal 50 for single and Tantrum 200 for double game.
badmintonbay & racquet_sports from e-bay are both trusted sellers. I got rackets from them.

if edgesaber z slayer = z slash here in malaysia than u should 4get about it..read previous post saying it vibrate a lot..so far, most good review given to the apacs YY clone (edgsaber,nano ***power) was towards the nano900p red or white. donno about others. since no review on low end tantrum (727,969,979,989..etc) here maybe u can consider nano900p red. read here

t200 is more heavy than nano 900 power, t200 is 3u and nano 900 power is 4u.

**faaiz** · 06-01-2010, 01:35 PM

I own 2pcs of Z-Spark. Bought 1st one brand new strung at 24lbs using YY-BG66 & got the 2nd piece a month later from another player strung at 26lbs using YY-BG70.

Previously I played head-heavy rackets strung at 23lbs, so it took me a while (after a few games) to adjust when switching to the evenly balanced & stiffer Z-Spark at 24lbs. After the adjustment period it was smooth sailing for me. I found that it does give me good control especially the mid-court & net areas. Never felt any vibrations while using it.

On the other hand when I tried my 2nd piece which I recently acquired, the higher tension does feel like a hard wall for me, and vibrations are unavoidable this time round.

So those who actually felt that the racket is no good at all might want to consider lowering the stringing tension and try again.

In my opinion, since Nano 900 Power is lighter than T200, it is slightly easy to maneuve. However, in term of smash and power T200 is better. In term of weight, the different is not so obvious...4u and 3u is just 10-20gm different. I also started with Nano 900 Power but already sold it to a friend. Sold it, but not because Nano 900 is a bad racket...but because once we have improved our games, we noticed that we need something a bit heavier racket for a more powerful smash. Previously, I can't play a 2hours straight game without feeling painful in the shoulder. Then, I used Colantotte Magnetic multi-supporter and now I can play 4 hours steadily. Please see ending of this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFVz5kmxpjY
Both players wearing shirt in blue and orange using Colantotte on the right arm. Find it one and perhaps u can last longer on your Tantrum 200. If you couldn't find nearby, please visit:
http://healthgearsjapan.blogspot.com...supporter.html
Or, my second suggestion is that u buy both Tantrum 200 and Nano 900 Power as backup. Whenever your tired, switch to Nano 900. Good luck!
