    I got my shipment of two Apacs Nano 900 Power White and two Nano 900 Power Red yesterday. For it's price, it plays really well. Surprisingly, the White has a much stiffer shaft than the Red (although the Yonex AT900P is arguably stiffer than the AT900T). Overall, enjoyed playing with the White. It was strung with some Apacs string I believe (Apacs spider?), 0.66mm at 28x30lbs. I can't comment on the durability but if it can last more than 3 weeks, I believe I may choose 0.66mm strings from non-Yonex companies. BG-66 at 24lbs only lasted 3 weeks under regular play.

    One note about the Nano 900 Power White: it's more similar to the Yonex AT900P than the AT900T. It has the box frame instead of the aero frame, so it is not as maneuverable as the AT900T but feels more solid upon impact.

    I will be receiving two Apacs Nano 9900 and one Edgesaber 10 in a few weeks. We'll see how those go.

    "will stick to Apacs until I think i'm good enough to use Yonex"

    well, i hope you don't get disappointed when you find that these expensive, ubiquitous Yonex badminton racquets are not much of an upgrade to racquet brands such as Apacs and SOTX ;)

    where did you get yours from? racquet_sports?

    and are you sure you didn't switch or confuse them?

    The Nano 900 Power (White) is an excellent racquet.
    Great value for money... and is very easy on the arm.

    Sadly, I lost one today when partnering another BC member :(

    sorry, cant stop :D
    you mean lost the game or the racket is r.i.p?
    if you lost the game, most likely due to not using Li Ning racket. :D:p

    Lost the racquet (and, er, the game too) :eek:

    It's my luck that I wasn't using the Li Ning.
    The N90 is with the stringer :p

    Yes, I ordered them through racquet_sports on eBay.

    I am quite sure that I did not confuse them. I have been a big fan of both AT900P and AT900T, ultimately got an AT900T for myself after borrowing a friends AT900P for a few months. The Nano 900 White has a noticeably stiffer shaft than the Nano 900 Red, and they both have box frames.

    haha,true tat.
    Might as well get an original line from apacs.
    Just came back from racket shop,the shopkeeper recommended wave power over lethal and tantrum,saying its the best seller n lethal is just too stiff to handle. Wat u guys think?

    Oh yea just restrung my nano power red to 28lbs with bg66 and totally in love with it haha

    If you string at 28lbs, you will likely prefer a stiffer racket anyway.

    I use my tantrum 200 for doubles. It's a very good control racket indeed with sufficient power to slap a few bombs.

    For singles, I pref my slightly head heavier racket cab30 and ZELM.

    Thx for all the inputs everyone =D

    For now I have decided to get Lethal 60, however i got an offer from a friend that wanna sell his AMP95 for RM150, 99% new. Dilemma haha! From all the past reviews i read in BC, AMP95 definitely a superb original apacs racket with heavy head and great smashing power. How does it compared to Lethal 60 that got double shaft system?

    Haha.. I'll take the AMP95 if it's in great condition and give it a run. At worst if you do not like it, you can resell it without too much loss.

    Bought the amp95 over from my friend,not quite used to the small grip.usually i dont tear off the original grip,wrap another layer of karakal pu grip directly on the plastic.

    Any suggestion on how to make the amp95 tat ori grip replaced with a layer of karakal to my likings? I plan to wrap another layer but scared it might be too thick.

    Plz advice thx

    Maybe you can use those masking tape to the handle before you apply your karakal grip.
    Happy Badminton
