The APACS EXPERIENCE & OTHERS

Hi APACS fans,

I have lifted this out from the APACS fans thread so we can gathered all the personnal APACS experience/review on their products. I have also inserted OTHERS as well so for those individual who have tried others can put up their comments too.

The purpose is to gather all in one thread of individual experience of (say) a APACS racket & maybe comparison if available to a similar/clonex of ??.
The input does not necessary have to come from an expert/pro player.
This will hopefully help others who wished to try APACS or Others items in deciding which model will be suitable.

I know there are a big following of the APACS rackets and because of APACS pricing, a lot of players can afford to try them and the many different models.
I hope you all will kindly contribute so we can all see the results.

This thread should be kept simple and not be over posted with posts of pricing, details, questions, where to get the stuff etc.

We can always start a thread where after individual posted their table, they can just annouce it on the other thread and further discussion can carry on there. This will hopefully keep this thread for years to come just full of tables of individual experience and easily search for the racket or item wanted.
Please assist in keeping this individual experience/review tidy.

Thanks
