    Yes, this is a stiffer racket than what I used to. You really need some adjustment there. You need more wrist on some defensive shot. May be I have it strung too high. Hope I can get use to it later. If not, I will re-string it at 28 or 26lbs. I love the sound when I smash now. Loud enough to have all the eyes on you. hahahaha... I know there will be e-commerce site comming up for Apacs racket next year.

    Enjoy

    what's your previous main racket's stiff? and what's your leve? I stung my ap800 at 23-25, not as powerful as you. I want a stiffer one but still hesitate it should be 9800 or 9900.

    usd110 is a good price. Even in China, it's hard to have one under this price.

    as for sound, it may be your string, but not your racket. :) a good string at 30lbs will generate loud sound easily. But anyway, must feel pretty good.

    I'm using Cab 9 as my main and switch to CY nano-66ti a few weeks ago. I hve BG80@25 on my CY racket. I'm very comfortable with it. It has a long and medium flex. It is a head heavy racket. Smash power is excellent. But the workmanship is not as good as Apacs. I'm just get use this bouncy shaft. It is HMG + woven shaft. I bought it for US80.00 including shipping. Not a bad price at all for a racket like that. I will say myself is inter->advance level.

    have been using two apacs rackets since august
    nano pro7000 with 24lbs string tension and nano speed 9000 with 23lbs string tension.........quite comfy for a recreational player like me....prefer the nano pro 7000.......bought them for around RM150 each and free bag, string and grip.....is it expensive?

    150RM is about $50 CAD. That is very cheap.

    Do you know the shipping cost of a racquet to Canada?

    Rite.. . take out $20.00 for shipping .. that means it is about $US90.00

    I don't know how much it is selling in Sg or Malaysia. Tell me about it if you can. For us in Canada, Apacs is not accessible at all. I know there will be one comming up next yr. But I can't wait....

    For the NanoPro 9900,
    Frame: 30 tonne Japan Toray Hi-modulus Graphite and impregnate with 1K woven Graphite.
    Shaft : Compressed 50 tonne Japan Toray Hi-modulus Graphite encased with tree bark.

    Maxium tension up to 32lbs.

    I'm not sure how true about the above spec. But it really worth $90.00 to me. Every brand name has it's low end product.... i can get a Yonex racket for $25.00 ... You may ask me the same question again....

    "US25.00 for a Yonex racket"

    usd110 for nano pro 9900 is a real good price. 9900 is high-end racket of Apacs (yes, apacs HAS high-end line). Even in China, it's hard to find such a good price. around North America, do not even dear to think about it.
