    Apacs EdgeSaber 10. Not because this racket painting like ARC10 so will be like ARC10, but in term of play this racket little bit stiff compare to PC998. So much more better in control.

    Having owned the Virtuoso Performance, Lethal 110, Lethal 60, Lethal 15, Lethal 18 and Finapi 77II, I can say that apacs 40T and 30T shaft models are simply not feel good enough for me. But I have not tried the Slayer 99 and Lethal 85, their only available 50T models. Have not tried 40T and 30T models from other brands such as Fleet though, but these days I would not go for anything lesser than 50T shaft. However I still own and am fine with a 30T rated model from the brand Fangcan (Darkness King 5).

    Try Lethal 50/60/70, one of those will do you well.

    Depends on your level of play. The clone rackets are user friendly in the sense that they're 4U (most of the time but confirm it), medium stiffness, and even balance. So you won't get tired or sore from playing, but if you want to hit more powerful shots stick with APACS' own series like Lethal and Tantrum or Slayer.

    I haven't used the ES10, I had the ESZSlayer which was decent, looked similar enough just not enough power.

    Hi,
    In one of your apacs rackets, which racket you think is best? I own Tantrum 200 and virtuoso. In my opinion, Virtuoso is better.

    Hi, i'm new here. recently i saw an Apacs Z Ziggler Force II racquets. Do you have any opinion on this racquets? the shop keeper said it's a clone of VTZF2 but i'm just not sure whether it plays the same of almost similar to it. couldn't find any reviews of this racquet too.

    None of Apacs' rackets play similar to the original. The VTZF2 is stiff and head heavy (300mm+ balance point). Whereas all of Apacs' clones are usually MEDIUM and EVEN BALANCE (290mm) so there is no way they will play similar. The materials used differs greatly between them and the feedback during play will be completely different.

    If you don't have the money and playing very casually (don't know the rules, points system, play with people that don't know the rules/points) then by all means get a clone. If you're serious or getting serious, then save your money for something like an Apacs Tantrum 200, Lethal 60/70, Fleet, RKEP, and Ashway rackets in the $100US range.

    :D:DLaying on A' Virtuoso Performance on my palm... First impression was HH. Felt like hard swing. Next minute, going on to the court. Using 78 cock speed. Inside 4 line court with minimum ventilation. Strung with BG80 P at 28 lbs digital. Heeem.... Was suprised. The swing was easy. Power generation was too. Unfortunatelly, the stinging (maybe) not as I was using in. Felt a bit bumping on the shuttle impact. Some smash not really a point resulted. Using it until the second half game exchanged then swicth to Victor BS12 NC 3U. Strung with the string and lbs (but different stringer). Felt like swinging a real sword.

    Swing Speed: bs12nc ++, Avp +
    Power : Bs12nc +, Avp ++
    Defend: Bs12nc ++, Avp +
    Dropshoot: Bs12nc +, Avp ++
    Price: Bs12nc -, Avp +++

    That's easy! Apacs virtuoso performance :)

    Only slightly head heavy with double grip but if you take off the factory one then put on your own grip you will get that head heavy feel. And the smash is fantastic.

    Edit : and yes i do own it so I'm not just talking out of my rear end lol.

    I know this is an old post, but I completely disagree with this... Respectfully of course. I have used the arc 10 us and tantrum 200. The arc 10 felt numb and unresponsive in comparison to the tantrum which felt far more stable in every shot. My friend even said he would rather get the tantrum but since it's not a yonex or Victo, he doesn't want to be seen using it. -_-
