Hey guys, I just checked out some of the Apacs rackets and a "Yonex ArcSaber Z Slash (Arc-Z) Badminton Racket" is about 250bucks but a Apacs Edgesaber Z Slayer is only about 60 bucks and has the same design. Can anyone tell me the downside to using a apacs(if theres any?) because the price is so low.

Also can anyone recommend a racket for me under 80 bucks for smashing(offensive) doubles playing within the apacs brand.

Get the VH1700. Great for smashing and also good control. I got it from racketsports at ebay for ~ 60 with custom string. I think he has more in stock.

anybody heard of nanodragon 700?

Any review on this racket?

Hi, this is one of my first rackets since I started playing badminton again. It's a powerful racket if you prefer rackets with flexible shaft. I don't use it anymore. I'm more than willing to let it go if you wanna buy one

[ghooga]

Hi guys, am a big fan of APACS. Am currently using Tantrum 200. I'm wondering if you guys have used or tried any better, powerful APACS weapon for doubles?

I reckon that the Lethal 50/60/70/90 are too head-heavy for doubles although they are real powerful rackets.

Thanks for sharing, guys!!

Hey guys!

Could any of you APACS fans please recommend me a racket? I'm looking for something that is head heavy, but not too head heavy that I lose too much control (want nice clears but don't need super powerful smashes). I want a stiff shaft as well as something that is aerodynamic and won't vibrate too much. Hope this isn't too specific =[

My old racket was a Fleet Tank Power 100 Offensive, just in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks!!

Then you should definitely try out Tantrum 200. It fits all your requirements!

i guess you can add the VH series into the list

Isn't the VH series more of an even balanced racket? I checked it up, the UK apacs site says the BP is 285 mm, I'm assuming this is even and that lower than 285 is head heavy and higher is head light? Or maybe I have it mixed up ><

[Xangosteen]

According to my understanding, 285 is already considered head heavy. Less than 285 is head light.
I have used both VH2000 and Tantrum 200. VH is pretty heavy duty and have a slower swing, so it will suit those with strong arm/wrist. Tantrum 200 on the other hand has got faster swing and extremely good control & power. Tantrum 200 gives me optimum power and control compared to VH.

I think if you have the cash, you should go for either Tantrum 200 or Lethal 90 (which is less head heavy than L70 & L60).

[sxg2009]

Hi, I realized that my VH1700 has become headlight racket after I wrapped the original G2 grip with a PU grip. Can anybody suggest how to make my racket head heavy again? Where I should put lead tape(s)? Anything else to avoid lead?

Balance Point (BP) is measured from the bottom handle up towards the frame. the higher the BP, the more head heavy the racket is.
if i'm not mistaken, both VH and Tantrum have the same 285mm BP which is classified as slight head heavy.
YY Armotec 900P has a BP of more than 300 i think.

less than 285 is even balanced. i'm not sure less than how much BP is headlight but i think it's 275

L90 is a good choice too i guess..since it has the aerodynamic frame of a Victor BS which will lead to more power due to faster swing

i've did some searching because i want to put some lead tape on my racket too
some say 2' and 10' o'clock position..some say 12'
so i guess it's an experiment to find the position and amount of lead that suit you best.
i plan to start applying it from 2' to 10' o'clock
