Good review. What's the flex on Lethal 7? One seller says it's flexible and another one says its stiff.
errr ... the store owner mentioned that both product are still in final adjustment before release so by now, they haven't released any detailed information about both racket both racket are hi-end racket from apacs .... and ... new apacs raket, Wrex Punch will be released by next month
Information that i have from one best seller APACS at Malaysia, now APACS more concentrate on their series. Such as Lethal, Slayer, Visible Hollow, Tantrum and etc. . They have try to reduced the clones series. And they start using highest quality material for APACS mid end series, they already using CNT ( Carbon Nano Tube ). Using this material increase performance and feeling of the rackets.
Agreed.......similarly like I've reviewed here http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?86830-Apacs-Tantrum-200-analysis
Hye all, a new member here and this is my first post I'm looking for cheaper racket with good quality and the only brand in my mind is APACS. So instead of open new thread, i guess it is better to post it here. Currently i'm using Gosen Aerolite 1 ( I don't know the exact model) which was a good racket until i strung it at 26lbs (NBG 98, the best string i ever used) and the head frame starts to shrunk and not stable. I really like this heavy head racket = good smash. So i'm looking for a racket with these characteristic and need some recommendations 1) Isometric/square shape 2) Heavy head racket for good smash 3) Can go higher in tension (26 or 28lbs) 4) Short grip 5) For double player I got Yonex Carbonex 8600 and Finnex Nano Extreme but i just don't like it. A shop owner suggest me APACS Power Concept 700 and above but i just need some of your opinions. Oh ya my level of play: intermediate and i'm getting better with the guides from this forum. Thanks in advance.
The racket says stiffness=9.5 which should be very stiff, however in play the racket feels quite 'whippy' (in a good way). I'm not sure if this means the racket is not as stiff as stated or whether it's because the racket head is so fast. To me it feels more flexible than the other rackets.
I must admit to be confused by what the numbers mean. The rackets state they have the following stiffness: Lethal 90 = 10 Tantrum 200 = 7.5-8 Stern 100 = 8-9 Lethal 7 = 9.5 However to me the Lethal 90 and Tantrum 200 feel equally stiff, followed by Stern 100 with Lethal 7 the most flexible. So if bigger numbers mean increased flex then the Lethal 90 seems the odd one out - it doesn't feel particularly flexible to me, unless of course mine is way off spec.
The lethal series are very stiff, and in this case, the stiffness of L90 should be as stiff or stiffer than T200. The flexibility scale painted on L90 that shows 10 is doubtly reliable.........well, that's another quality issue that Apacs need to improve other than starting to stop producing clones and concentrating on original line of products
I definitely agreed for quality issued need to be improved. Another issued that i heard, APACS for Singapore distribution have more tight QC rather than Malaysia. The seller write this issued at another badminton forum. He just write "Don't know why Singapore want to asking more QC rather than Malaysia". That's mean APACS for Malaysia distribution lack of Quality Control ?.
Yap.... I think all the racket manufacturer especially the brand became famous will have better QC. There is no different for QC procedure, only some distributor maybe asking for off spec the racket for prices.
I have heard about this too. Those in Singapore are paying more for the "SG" coded rackets than the buyers in Malaysia but was told the quality of these "SG" coded rackets is better.
Just have updated information from several APACS wholesales, Singapore paying more for tight the QC and QA for their own series with have SG code. Then for the others series still same. But the one make me confused, if have issued like this it is also ashamed for APACS for the others distribution. That's mean QC from APACS not have standard procedure. QC can paying using money. Or maybe APACS want to gain more profit from this issued, ppl will be hunting APACS racket with SG coded. I have so many APACS racket with or without SG coded. For me all the racket have good performance.
Ah, I gotta love my 3 AMP95's. I cherish them so much. I can't seem to find them anymore. Are they discontinued?
