    The Nano Fusuon Speed 722 is a good bit lighter than the 755 is (right around 78grams if I recall correctly). It has an even to headlight balance (somewhere in between), and plays wonderfully. I'm a big strong male (about 6ft and 225lbs), but I like that racquet because I can use just my wrists and snap some really hard shots, especially from mid-court, taking advantage of that medium flex in the shaft.

    I got an Apacs Virtuoso Pro on Friday. I have only played with it twice but I already think it is an excellent racket. It is quite expensive for an Apacs, but still a great deal. I honestly think it is comparable to much more expensive rackets like my Yonex Z-force II.

    I had it strung with Apacs string at 28 lbs. I think the control is great, maybe not quite as good as a Z-force II but very very close. It is slightly less stiff and feels less head heavy than my Z-force II but I can hit smashes just as hard. It is faster on defense than the Yonex and I think backhand clears are easier than with the Yonex.

    Compared to the Apacs Lethal 60/70 series rackets I think the Virtuoso Pro smashes just as hard (for me, anyway) but it is better in control, and defense.

    It says 4u on the racket but it also says 87 grams. Normally 87 grams would be 3u. What is interesting though, is that the racket plays like a 4u racket. It is very maneuverable.

    Even though I say it is less stiff and less head heavy than a Z-force II, it is still designed for strong experienced players. If you are beginner, Apacs has better rackets for you. The sweet spot is not very big and it seems I need good technique to get the most out of this racket.

    How much is it? I cant find Virtuoso Pro in Vietnam. Only Virtuoso Performance but AVP has problem between the handle and the shaft. Its very easy to be broken.

    I was able to buy the Virtuoso Pro for $125 USD, but more commonly it is $140 USD. I have only had it two days, so I don't know how durable it is. It is sold online by sports netbizstore on facebook and also by sportshorizon. And it is on Ebay.

    T200 is really good. But I also find lacking in punch sometimes due to less weight in the racket head. Try L70 and you will get a noticeable increase in power , but the speed and control will not be as good as T200.

    It's 3U, very stiff and very head heavy. So it will give you a good power, good control at the base, nice defense, but suck at the net (lol it's not good, still ok to me)

    It's about as stiff as a tantrum. But I don't think it's that head heavy to be honest. The head is definitely stable though.

    Shouldnt buy AVP because its very broken between the handle and the shaft. Apacs Slayer 99 or 88 is a good choice for double.

    AVP is highly recommended for doubles :) very light 4u and easy to use. If even balanced preferred them T300 is recommended.
