Ok, currently using YangYang Tatic 9000 3U racket. In my hand, a so so player like me, sometime i can give nice netpaly and dropshot but away smashing with ultra-sharp in front me or straight flying birdie.....

I still got a old Corbonex 9 (black) in 2U which is belong to my father...later will know if i can handle it...

So I feel i shd try some other rackets to see what my style is....thinking to get the N900P Red for attacking and a N900P White for defend

I got this ideal is base from : Red is box-frame head heavy for power and White is Aerodynamic frame for fast-swing...(Am I rite?)

Thinking to strung my N900P Red at 24lbs and White with 25lbs....

Do you guy think it is good ideal?

Any other suggestions in the similar price point?

sorry to disappoint you but do not trust everything that you read..

1. N900P is already obsolete. some shops might still have it but it already stopped production. it's replaced by N990P.
2. from my experience, the Red and White version does not have any differences. i can feel their balance is the same. similar frame. i guess it's just a marketing gimmick from Apacs.
3. if you're used to 3U, the N900P will be too light for you as it's 4U.

my advice, if you have the budget, skip Apacs's clonexes. you can consider their Tantrum range. 3U, even balance to slight head heavy, mid stiff to stiff. best for doubles. Tantrum 200 is the most high-end Tantrum so check it out.

Thanks ziggy and shooting stroke...

That's sound pretty logical....so if I increase my budget to RM250......which model I shd get? I hope I can hv a all-rounder racket because I still not sure how far i can perform (sometime i can give good netball, soetime very good and sharp dropshort..smash always got power but not sharp made me lacking in confident when do smashing..)...or maybe I just get a entry level apacs to try try 1st...Intially thought of N900P...Then lethal 9 but it seem most people tried it and do not like it...

With this budget and requirement, buying from any Apacs line of rackets, i highly recommend you to buy Apacs Tantrum 200. A choice and investment that worth your money. You can read my detailed review here for your additional insight about this racket : http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...sis&highlight=

Here are my twins (Apacs Z-Slayer). Love these rackets, not that much vibrations as mention by others. Much better than YY AS Z-Slash as I've owned previously (sold it). The YY racket head is heavier and can't really generate power compared to Apacs Slayer just perfect for me to slay my opponents in court.

**tyshk** · 12-31-2010, 11:40 PM

Anyone tried the Visible Hollow 1200 & 1600? Which Yonex racket have the most simular spec and feeling with these 2 rackets???

But I'm getting an ES10 soon. Apcs rackets are quite good in term of price and also quality. At the moment I've no complaint on the performance of the racket

. Anyone knows the difference between ES101 and ES10 in term of handling.

I previously owned 2 Apacs Edge Saber 101 and 108, and 1 Apacs Nano 9900 Power rackets. I've sold them and now a proud owner of twins Apacs Z-Slayer.

i suppose Honly has it since they have a lot of series there
but of course, you can check out Permai first since it's nearer to SG

Honly was outta stock , I went there last Nov.

**txv611** · 01-01-2011, 11:46 AM

HOnly never sells Tantrum 200, he said its old model. Where is the permai shop that is nearer to Singapore? Anyone can give address of GRP lat/long? Thanks

**Densha** · 01-01-2011, 05:45 PM

hello everybody, I'm currently using Yonex Rackets ( NS 9900 / Z Slash LTD )
I would like to know if there's any difference between edge saber z slayer RED or YELLOW.
Because the Regular Z slash and the Limited one aren't the same.

Can you also tell me please which apacs model is the most similar to NS 9900.

Thanks

**ghooga** · 01-01-2011, 06:16 PM

Wow, I'm surprised that no one has commented on APACS Lethal 100!

http://apacsbadminton.co.nz/osc/prod...2cad69f4b25274

Is that piece on anyone's New Year's wish list

**txv611** · 01-01-2011, 07:50 PM

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone knows whether Permai prices are better than Honly? How about the range compared to Honly?

If I drive to Kotaraya, do they have their own parking compound? Thanks
