    Hi all,

    I am currently using the PROACE Thunderbolt II, and is very satisfied with its performance; offensive play.

    I heard that there is a PROACE ABS Power 1200 TI.

    Has anyone bought it? How is it compared to Thunderbolt II?

    Thanks.

    didnt know ABS 1200 exist.

    I have tried the 4U-G2 versions of Thunderbolt II and ABS 1000, both strung with BG66 26lbs. Both are flexible rackets IMHO. The ABS 1000 is slightly head heavy while the Thunderbolt II is very head heavy (like AT700). Swingspeed for ABS 1000 is faster but I find the Thunderbolt II more powerful.

    I am also having Nanospeed 7000 and Nanospeed 8000. But... after switching over the Thunderbolt II, I really love it. I have not being using the Nanospeed for the past many sessions. I am thinking of buying a backup racket. That is why I was asking about the ABS Power 1200 TI. Just wonder if it is having any advantage over the Thunderbolt II.

    I bought my PROACE Thunderbolt II at S$100/- with grip and string. I strung it at 27Cross and 26Main, with YONEX BG66.

    Thanks.

    yes, you are right.

    The ABS 1200 Ti is out and is in Milk Yellow color (I don't like it). Beside, 1200 series, they also have ABS Power 80 (Dark Blue)

    In my records, I only know these PROACE rackets..

    PROACE ABS POWER 200 TI
    PROACE ABS POWER 880 blue
    PROACE ABS POWER 100
    PROACE ABS POWER 1000
    PROACE EVOLUTION 6.5
    PROACE LCP 600
    PROACE LCP 800
    PROACE LIGHTNING 828
    PROACE PLAINUM61
    PROACE PLAINUM130
    PROACE PLAINUM210
    PROACE PLATINUM110
    PROACE POWER ACE88
    PROACE POWER ACE99
    PROACE SPEED ULTRA LIGHT
    PROACE STROKE316
    PROACE STROKE319
    PROACE SWEETSPOT950
    PROACE SWEETSPOT1000
    PROACE THUNDERBOLT S
    PROACE TITANIUM MAXIMUM

    PROACE TITANIUM DREAM
    PROACE T19(BLUE)
    PROACE TI6
    PROACE THUNDERBOLTⅡ
    PROACE WIDEBODY66

    I am thinking of purchasing a backup racket. Currently, I am thinking of purchasing another THUNDERBOLT II, but... wary that there may be better rackets, that is stiff and head heavy as THUNDERBOLT II.

    Does anyone think that there is better PROACE head heavy racket than THUNDERBOLT II, especially for smashing.

    Thanks.

    :D I dare not say the best, but... prefer the Thunderbolt II, try to get the stringer to string at Cross 27 and Main 26.5. I will be buying another one as a backup racket.

    Thanks.

    Theoritically, PROACE T19 (Red) or PROACE T19 (Blue) should be considered the best racket. Price should be approximately about S$169. I could not find any stock in Singapore. Will appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on where to get the PROACE T19.

    Thanks.

    I prefer the high-modulus graphite Sweetspot 1000 which is heavy heavy and stiff. Its isometric frame design is similar to NS7000. IMHO its a all-around racket.
