    No, this seller's rackets are not fake from what I can see (I ordered an APACS Edgesaber 10 and Visible Hollow 1300 from him). However, I would truly be surprised if his strings were real at all. He claimed that he strung my rackets with BG68Ti, but looking at the print on the strings, the "BG68Ti" part was rather faded and I was quite suspicious about them. Someone claimed that they saw "YONFX" on the print instead of YONEX, but I popped my strings already so I could not go and check out if mine did too.

    shall be ranging around RM250. saw it at Puchong.
    black is smart.............:p:D
    maybe due to its new design at the shaft, near to cone, there 4 ridges to stiffen its shaft. :)

    1/3 of the shaft is square shape instead of round starting from the cone.

    Isn't kind of stupid to have a squarish shaped shaft? The breaking through the air will be poor.

    Hello, am new to badminton central but have been reading the forums for a long time now. Based on the posts that I read, I decided to test out apacs. Got two rackets for around rm190.

    1. Furious 575 or looks like 515 ( Can't seem to find any information on this racket at all, some help please! thanks in advance)
    2. Edgesaber 10

    Just got them, will update on how they work for me. Btw, i'm told by a shop owner that the Nano Pro 9600 is out of production, and i can't seem to find AMP 95, anyone with info on this and where to find in Malaysia?

    i can share some experience buying with this ebay seller. i also gone thru email to buy because mostly of us like to customize the color or the stringing method. right? :eek:

    On 18 April, payment made to buy 2 racket + a bag. (maybank)
    On 23 April, send to me by his fren. i think this is the FASTEST delivery he has done. but string is definitely not Yonex but giving me Apacs Spider. already suspect his Yonex string maybe is fake. giving excuses to give other string.

    On 24 April, email to him ask about his shop, wanna help fren to buy 1 more. but this time is NO REPLY.

    On 5 May, ask him for shop location again & ES10. no reply for his shop location & accept for postage only.
    On 11 May, Payment made to his Paypal acc. this time dun let me use Maybank. this time give ProAce string.

    Promise me 3 many times to reach my house, but NEVER SHOW UP. Keep on bombing to his email but only reply me 3 times. Give me excuses going to Singapore for Urgent matter, Back On 19 May. everytime also promise to come but... really boring of this. sending almost 30 emails. just like doing a daily job by just sending emails. keep on asking phone number but just ignore me.

    On 27 May, suddenly show up 11am Sunday in the morning, luckily got ppl at home. else... dunno who gonna take it.:mad:

    Almost 3 Weeks to receive ONE racket is acceptable BUT i really really hate the attitude of Promising me but never show up. this really make me sick because just sitting there and waiting for him to come. he really think i'm so freaking free to wait for him. never gimme his contact number to confirm date & time. Never mind, i give one more chance to him, maybe he is really busy or whatever.:(

    On 23 June, email him, wanna buy 2 more VH1300 + 2 Bag.
    On 28 June, Payment (paypal) Made. item purchased as below
    1 x VH1300 main 26lbs & cross 27lbs, 4 kn (Purple String + Purple color Grip)
    1 x VH1300 main 23lbs & cross 24lbs, 4 kn (Red String + Red color Grip)
    1 x Apacs Bag(red)
    1 x Apacs Bag(grey)

    1 email to him 3-4 days. already know his attitude. Never show up after promise u. WARN him on 19th JULY, if still dun receive the racket than will complain to Paypal & asking for refund but still ignoring me... :(

    FYI, that address i provided to him is my Gf house by that time, until become my exGF, He has not send yet. this is really make me SICK again. i scare to bother ppl since i'm not staying there anymore. (move back to my own house.)

    On 25 July, Complain to Paypal.
    On 26 July, email me said his delivery partner just come back from outstation. ask me still want the racket or refund? but i still want the racket since waiting so long.

    Promise me send on 27 July Morning. NEVER SHOW UP AGAIN.. until 8PM only turns up. he was so lucky coz somebody at home.:mad: 10PM sent me a email said that already delivered & ask for close the dispute at Paypal. sure since the racket received.

    But the item is not as what i was stated above but i already dunwan to argue with him anymore.:(
    item received as below:
    1 x VH1300 around 22-23lbs (white String + black color Grip)
    1 x VH1300 around 22-23lbs (black String + grey color Grip)
    both bag is Grey color also.
    string is Apacs Super Power as i can see on it. but i try to search on web, cant find this model. i really have no idea of what is it.

    this is definitely the LAST TIME i deal with him. just sharing of my experience, hope u guys dun mind my English not so good. :p

    Drifit, do you mind to share your review on Apacs Tantrum power 11 International?

    How does it compare with your other rackets?eg : Yonex, RSL, or even Apacs brand.

    Hi all,

    Just a matter of interest, anyone know where or which country Apacs rackets are actually made?
    or
    which manufacturer make them?

    I noticed on the photo that it had Apacs Uk but I do not think it is made in UK

    it is near to the cone/handle. poor aerodynamic is negligible as that area, less movement compare to the head. :)
    you may see this poor aerodynamic at gosen's racket. bulky joint at head & shaft.
