just go for 3U vh2000/2020, if not u will feels that's lack of power.

Hi guys! I just bought a tweet 6000 today. My forza morten frost autograph racquet(18yrs old) broke and I wanted to buy something with a similar feel (light overall with heavier head for smashing power). I chose the racquet by the feel of afew hard swings (layman). Took a few racquets from prince, gosen forza and apacs to try before the boss of the shop recommended tweet 6000, telling me that it's a fast wielding racquet, thin shaft with a heavier head. Boy, the feel of the swing was damn good. My swings are definitely faster and more powerful compared to the previous few models and yet I can feel the weight of the head. wondered if anyone here used this racquet and would like to hear your reviews. I would post mine when I get to use it next week. Cheers!!

just received a tantrum 200 from Apacs Sport.
Claim my broken stern 200 with apacs and get the replacement racket by today, it is my first tantrum 200 and now i cant wait to string it and try it!

Just got my Apacs Nano Fusion Speed 722 re-strung with Yonex BG 6 at 28lbs. Previously strung with Apacs Stern 66 string at 27lbs, which I didn't quite like. Now it's even more lethal for quick exchanges and net play. I think it's an extremely good racket that'll force you to learn to relax the wrist for precision shots.
After having a few swings getting the feel of the racket, my 72 year old uncle has decided to get one and get back into playing badminton. hahahaha!!!

My Apacs Nano Fusion Speed 722. Had the original grip taken off before putting on the replacement, for extra thin feel, and head heavy feeling. Suits tiny feminine hands like mine.

String is Yonex BG6 at 28lbs, made in China, soft-feeling, not very durable, broke it after just 4 sessions, a fatal mishit may have contributed to it. The string tension drops 5-10% by the end of the first week before stabilizing.

I'm looking for Amp 95..Just clashed mine few weeks ago and did try Lethal and VH series including the Amp 101,but nothing like Amp 95.So,does anyone has an Amp 95 not being used.Or perhaps if anyone can suggest a racket similar to it.

I think I tried it but not the same.There are perhaps better rackets out there,its just that amp 95 has really struck a chord with me.

try yonex voltric 80. amp 95 already out of production for many years, so hard to find it even though in malaysia.

**Kiloo** · 08-14-2012, 01:27 AM

If U say try Voltirc 80 I say try Finapi 88 from Apacs.
The Tantrum 500 is also great

I figured,but was hoping that someone might have 1 sitting around.

**irwan_kho** · 08-14-2012, 09:07 AM

i think you may consider Apacs Slayer 99 or Lethal 90 because Tan Bin Sen or Gan Teik Chai has changed to this racket.

**scfo99** · 08-14-2012, 01:02 PM

Nightbird,
I understand your feeling, i also looking hard for amp95, mine one won't last aft many years "tortures". I had T200 which many said the APACS best racket but i thk AMP95 is the best for me/us. I try ask APACS to give similars model like AMP95, hope got reply soon.

The direct replacement for amp 95 is amp 101,but Kam from Apacs Canada did say that slayer 88 is very close.Perhaps you can try one out.

I think I'm gonna try Slayer 88 or 99 as Kam from Apacs Canada had also suggested so.I'm gonna see him later today and hopefully he'll have a demo for me.

Hi all,
I'm coming back into badminton after 5 years - used to play for regional team in Northern Ireland, and am dying to get back into the swing of things.

I have 2 apacs rackets on their way to me: The Finapi 88 and the Lethal 9. Do you guys have any experience with these? I figure there's no point in me spending huge amounts on a top-end yonex piece just yet until I get my confidence and form back - although from what I hear there apacs rackets can really give big brands a run for their money!?
really looking forward to trying them out.
