i'm using ProAce Thunderbolt II is quite nice !!! n u can find it at M'sia JB why not to get one try n will get to know it . also intro Apacs 1900 gd nn cheap [buy 1 fr 1]
I think u mean it make in UK instead of "origin".. as you said origin can be it registered in UK. which apacs series is it?
Yes, I heard Proace got a factory in Vietnam. Can anyone here clarify please? I am actually very happy with my Proace racket now.
Proace website says they have a Vietnam factory: http://www.proace.com.tw/badminton/badminton.htm Proace can probably be considered a 'Malaysian' brand (with Taiwan links) and is linked to APACs. Many Malaysian juniors are sponsored by Proace while some senior players - Sairul Ayob are sponsored by APACS. I think they are better value for money than low-end Yonex racquets but I certainly do not consider them a UK brand just because they display a UK flag - and the only basis they have for displaying a UK flag is that they have a registered trademark. On their website there is no other mention of any UK connection or origin of the company.
juz tried my new ti11 today... cannot seem to smash the shuttlecock down leh... think needs some time to get use to it...
Finally bought my Proace racket. It is a Evolution 900 with 0.65mm Proace string at 24lbs. It'll co-exist with my Apacs Nano7000.
i'm using proace lightning 838....i'n my opinion...the racquet is horrible...lightweight racquet(4u) n head light summore...need tons of strength to smash...and the smashes is still floating...dun buy this racket... maybe other model is better...
i think everyone should go n and get a proace sweetspot 1000 n try it out. that racket is awsome and so is the sweetspot 900. those are the two main rackets i use, i am very satisfied with both rackets.
Agreed. Proace Sweetspot 100 is awesome and great value for money. Hope it would not be discontinued.
Ya Proace racquet is quite good and me too want to find Thunderbolt II when my widebody 55 broke but cant find any in JB as they all say that the racquet is no lob longer produce. So i brought myself a Wilson N PRO long series racquet.. But now i am still a ProAce fan of its racquet... Mostly i buy my badminton goods at JB which the price is must mor cheaper than in sg.
wat do you guys think of Pro Ace Thunder Bolt III and Platinum Dream? any input will be welcomed. thanks.
i juz got the TB 3... was comparing between these 2 too... platinum dream cheaper oso... well, tb3 is head heavier, while PD is even balance, but was told that PD is a more offensive racket compared to the tb3... i prefer the TB3 becoz i like the feel more and wated something head heavy coz my ti 11 already is a even balance... so guess you better go down feel for yourself you are more comfortable with which one... oh ya... the PD comes with a flat t joint area...
crusnik, in term of pricing PD is cheaper that TB III but depend which shop in JB. anyway the price different not big different. i tried before 2 lakets on hand feeling. PD lighter + medium stiff - virbration part dunno how's it. - too light the feeling when smashing might be reduce. TBIII head heavy + medium stiff - smashing shud be power - in term of agility of movement might be restricted due to heavy head.
pro ace racquet in vietnam is cheaper than here. I am not sure about the price of sweetspot 1000 in singapore but in vietnam, u can get it for around 65SGD
Oh man, I am Vietnamese for 20 years but know nothing about this. ProAce is quite a popular brand in VN, only behind YY. I once saw they sell ProAce in shops for £10 for the cheapest model up to £30 for the top of the range. And if the vn currency keeps falling, it may cost u less than that. But price of YYs is even higher than in the UK, £100 for the MP99, And Armortec 800 D/O Limited Edition only costs a little more than that ( real one, not fake).
hi tuanminhvn, I m also vietnamese , but what u mean by "know nothing about this" . I think in vietnam, proace is the most popular brand, because yonex rackets are expensive hence not many use them. About the price, not £30 is the top price, you may find some cost more than that (maybe 200SGD or £70 equivalent)
