Ok I read both and they say head heavy IN THEORY. I got the one in front of me and it is written 'head heavy' on it, and those who tried it here say it is. For the stiffness it is a bit ambiguous. How flexi do u want it? But: Please try one for yourself.
i'm not sure if mine is on spec but IN THEORY..it IS head heavy since it's the clone of AT900P however, swinging mine around feels even balanced and light (of course! it's a 4U) flex wise, i feel it's medium (as in more flexible than mid-stiff and stiffer than mid-flex) compared to my stiff Victor Artery Tec Ti99 which stiffness rating is on par with BS10 and slightly flexier than SW35. these are just my personal findings on my unit. hope it helps
There are a few factors to this. The unstrung masses of the racquets are different, therefore it is an Apacs QC problem. The string weight could cause the problem, a higher tension would stretch the string more and so it would be thinner, so overall it would have less mass and weigh less than the the lower tension string and this could cause a slight weight difference. Could be the grips on the racquets, if you have any. Or when they say Apacs 9900 (86-89g) for example, you might have one that is 86g and one that is 89g. Have you weighed them yet?
high tension can reduce the thickness but would not make the mass reducing...I think more correct is thinner string have lesser volume in total and lesser volume have lesser weight. Am i right?
Of course U r right. But are we talking grams, centigrams or milligrams here. If a racket specs vary +- 3grams itself then the weight difference for the string is INSIGNIFICANT on the overall. The impact on the weight of the racket head will be unnoticeable even by a pro. (pls Correct me is someone knows better)
Lethal 9 and Nano 900 Power red Hi guys, I couldnt not control my itch and I bought two apacs: 1. Nano 900 Power Red @BG66 24lbs 2. Lethal 9 @BG66 25lbs Just finished my two hours game play, tried both, today I like the feel of the L9. It can swing very fast and got very nice wind sound. The feel of power from my hand pass to it and net play were good. Due to the good feel of L9, i did not really give chance to N900P Red tonight. But I did feel the 24lbs tension seem do not feel as good as 25lbs on the L9. Will try the N900p Red next week and see how. Maybe restrung it to 25lbs as well? Btw, both apacs (square head) are a bit longer then my YY C9 and YangYang tatic 9000 (round head). Just now I hit and saved few points which were quite surprised myself. Or maybe due to the square head got more surface area? Anyway, many thanks to verybody here. Nice thread
The higher tension would stretch the string making it thinner, therefore reducing the overall mass of the string in the racquet. And a thinner string would become thinner reducing its mass within the racquet. Kiloo, I was just saying it could be possible that the 2 racquets are 3grams apart, and with the minimal effect of the string and grips it could cause this effect. And also if you haven't weighed them have you held them in opposite hands, I always feel a racquet in my non-raccquet hand is heavier than in my racquet hand, only slightly but I notice it.
Played the N900power last night. I think this racket do no suit me. I failed to generate power or feel of control thru it. While with the lethal 9, I felt my power passed to the shuttercock and felt its touch on the string and where it go and how far i want it to go. Think will restring the N900power sooner.
Now, now. This depends on the player. If U want power, prob a slightly head heavy choice, but not necessarily a heavier all round racket. Best as I always say: TRY ONE for yourself.
Check the racket well I think U mean N9900 and N900 power. Two completely different kettle of fish. The N9900 is a light mostly even balanced racket and a clone of the Yonex NS9900. The Nano 900 Power is a heavier racket which is slightly head heavy. (IMHO)
