Apacs

finally tried my nano 900 power
26lbs is really something
i can clear shuttles to baseline easily even difficult shots..
since i'm not quite used to it yet, the shuttle often flew out the court haha
but still i still miss sometimes..totally not used to this racket yet
often hitting the frame..damn

but overall nano 900 power strung with BG66 at 26lbs is quite good and very nice sound too lol

So bro: which Apacs racket is the heaviest and stiffest of all?
Click to expand...

Quite a mix bag of rackets through my years of playing badminton. Lately have been trying out the Apacs.

Wave power 100. It's a 2U. Head heavy, stiff and heavy (90g).
Something like the YY NS9000. If you have the power, heavy rackets are
the way to go. Good feel

Also have the Lethal 60, 3U (88g). Feel is different, less head heavy. More finesse. Good feel.

Only have both the rackets for less than a month, so the verdict is still out.

Both are more or less the same price. I think the Wave power is quite rare.

Others are -

Furious 767. Light, head heavy in a different way. More a snappy racket for wrist players. Not enough power.

Nano 900 white. Stiff, not so head heavy. A bit blunt, not really powerful compared to the earlier 2. Lousy feel

Nano 800. 2nd hand cheap racket. Good feel, responsive, power ok lah.

Furious 2000. Stiff racket. Must have power to enjoy this. Not so good feel. RIP.

I just get Nano9990 and play with it last night.

It is very easy to play with and slightly similar to tantrum200 in term of swing speed.
It is slightly head heavy, mid-weight, moderate stiffness, very repulsive with birdie contact, the smashing is very precise but not "boom boom" kind of smash. It is definitely good for double game but it can be used for single as well.
So far I have played with AMP90, Lethat60, Furious608, VH1500, VH1700, Tantrum200, Tantrum130, Nano900(P/S), ES10,ES9,ES7 and Nano9990. I would say the Nano9990 is very much on par with the Tantrum series.

Power: 8.5/10
Control: 9.0/10 (Very accurate in term of placement)
Stiffness: Moderate
BP: Slightly Head heavy (before put on the over-grip)
Tension: 25 x 27 with BG65


Hope it help .....Cheers :):):):):):):)

BTW, can someone review the Z-Spark

Does anyone use Apacs Armor Muscle PRO 95 ?
Is it good for playing men double game?

IF you are the playing from the back in MD , then this is one of the best racket (maybe the best) for smashing ....

I would say AMP 95 is abit stiffer than the Lethal 50.

It is an all-out-power-racket

p.s. my AMP95 shaft snapped when I went for a smash :crying: (only had it for 3 months :crying:) went back to my NS9900 but it is not the same , I miss the brute force it generate
 
Hi Staiger, do u still remember what string and tension U have for AMP95? I am wondering what's different between Apacs AMP95 and Panda Trinity?

I strung the AMP 95 with Apacs spider 66 Ti at 24lbs , and it felt good ,good blend of power and control. Then with BG 80 at the same tension, and the racket came alive , for me it was a perfect set-up for playing from the back and like to attack . It also has nice control on drops and clearance as well . That racket is just sheer force , if you looking for a racket to give your smash an extra 'kick' then this is the racket , but if you wanted a more balance racket then I would say the Tantrum 200 or Lethal 50.

I dont have a Trinity 2 yet , so cant compare , but Panda said the shaft is not very stiff , but would still reward for good technique ! There are so many rackets I would like to buy but cash-strapped at the moment.

Tantrum 200 is the priority , then the Trinity 2 etc.....

if you buy from ebay (malasian seller) it's cheaper, the apac US/canada price are a little stiffer for some reason (unknown to me), it's probably because of their shipping (apacs ship to them and they ship to us), but then again, they also charges us for shipping (~15 which is the same as ebay shipping cost to me)...

From what I've seen, a lethal 50/60 costs around 65-80 + shipping strung from ebay, apacs canada does it at around 120 + shipping UNSTRUNG. they charge ~14 bucks for bg65... that's the same as my local stringer, unacceptable because they're a big seller, and all my local racket seller will string for free if the thing is over 100 dollars.

So if you want to buy apacs, get a group of local, and place a huge order from ebay, it'll be so much cheaper.

From my personal experience, all rackets are cheaper from asia, as long as you get a reliable seller and buy more than 1, you'll save buying from the source.

I agree. Apacs Canada is very expensive. One can save ~ 50% at the ebay store.
 
I like to try on new racket, just tried with my latest APACS Stern 300 Woven, very light, solid and powerful on its strength.

Give me solid feeling is the first priority to choose this racket and it is very suite to my style and replace my back hand strength weakness. With it i can string up to 26lbs digital right now and still very good feeling on it.

Need to try few more rounds to really handle perfect on the racket since quite different with those low rank racket i used previously, and compare to Yonex high rank racket, its feeling lighter but the power almost the same since Yonex quality usually slightly heavier.
