    Ooo you've played with the Lethal 9? How does it play compared to the 10 and the Bravesword 12?

    Mine is as below..

    badminton-racket-apacs-z-ziggler-frame-supercourts-1408-14-SuperCourts@7.jpg

    Overall I like the feel of it compare to my 6u Lethal Light Power. It's a very fast racket, suitable for double play and also head heavy enough to smash nicely. The control is also not bad, I can place the shuttle to where I wanted to. Other than this I got no complain about this racket, although it's a clone but Apacs did it nicely as this racket has it's own feel and not as same as Z Force 2.

    Hi Funk. Sorry can't compared it to Bravesword12...neverused any racket other than Apacs.... Compared L9 and L10, for me L10 is much quicker maybe due to it's frame shape, and the design is nice too :p but L9 is pretty good for smasher... It's been long time, I didn't use it anymore...now only use AVP :p

    AVP is that good eh? I should probably pick up the 9! It's probably a great offensive doubles racket ;) Thanks for the insight!

    No problem mate :D for me I prefer AVP than T200 hehhehe... T200 has this kinda solid feel compared to AVP, but using T200 my arm kinda sore after 2 hours of play...with AVP, 2 hours still ok :D
    L9, ok for it's price :D ( I think ehehehe )

    Bought an Apacs Virtuoso Performance on eBay from Malaysia. I hope the store is legit and will at least ship me a fake racket. :D

    I hope not. I did see a thread here where someone was asking if an Apacs racket they bought is fake and the answers were mostly what you said - they're too inexpensive for someone to create fakes of.

    This is the one I ordered - with string and their PVC grip

    I doubt there's any fake racket from Apacs out there. No point making a fake racket from a not so famous brand :D

    Anyway Sportshorizon is a legit shop, it's physical shop is just near where I'm staying. I've been there and they do carry wide variety of Apacs racket.

    I bought two AVPs. Unfortunately I havent been able to get used to them yet. I seem to prefer the lighter racquets like the Feather Weight 300. So far it's a perfect racquet for me but maybe that will change as my technique gets better. The FW 300 gives me the most power also

    Hi guys: Can any of you advise on Apac Slayer 99 compare to Zforce II 3U.

    Which is head heavier and stiffer ?

    Thanks

    Slayer 99 is more to an even balance racket Balance Pt.: 290 ± 3mm (Even balance) with a stiff shaft.

    ZF2 has a very heavy head & extra stiff shaft.

    So both are totally different :)

    I'm surprised no one here answered my previous question about Apacs' flex rating system. Someone here should know the answer...

    I'm new to Apacs' lineup of racquets. I notice that for some of their racquets they specify a numerical value next to the stiff/flex designation. What does a 8.0 (medium) mean when compared with a medium flex designation?

    FW300 does have some pretty nice specs. The racquet seems to be quite light. Is it really as flexible as what the product page say it is?
