    The bird din fly properly ? check its wing, could be broken liao. Must feel the bird 1st then it can whack for you mah. Maybe PC1100 too light, Nano900power could bring out the Godjilla. VHS1300 is slim head+head light, big clash sure kaput.

    Bro i think the nano900power is good... your wrist work must be decent to deliver a good smash also la... but I love this racquet for smashing in doubles... I can deliver a fast smash from backcourt also!

    i bought in jb that time, about 1 mth back... RM169 for two racquets... i think it's some marketing gimmick lorr, but i wanted 2 anyway (say must buy 2, cannot buy 1)... so it's about RM 85 per racquet.. then buy strings about RM20 each, so end up around RM210... decent la...

    I heard KL got same deal also... maybe can try the one in Ampang Plaza.. forgot wat the shop name... puchong oso got... search around the forum... got ppl recommend before!!

    I played with both, but with my standard (recreational and occasional serious play), I realli realli can't tell a big difference.

    The red one, has a box frame, and is slightly more head heavy than the white one.

    The white one, has a winged frame, or aerodynamic frame...

    I think they play quite similar, though in the end i prefer the red one, feels like I can smash better..

    It's a clone of the Yonex Armortec 900 Power if u dun already know.

    The racquet is really value for money, and I really like it, as I am a student and cannot afford expensive racquets. Worth to buy...

    About the hollow series, i think is more expensive, and not as nice to play in terms of power and smash. Probably hollow is a more overall racquet.

    VHS1200 is the most head light while VHS1800 is head heaviest, so each model number's up (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700) head heavy will be increase.

    Nano900Power (Red+White) has more balance for its head heavy. Quite favorable among buyers. Good performance & paint job & attractive too.

    Armor Muscle Power Series, AMP 88 even balance, AMP 90 slightly head heavy, AMP 95 HEAD HEAVY

    Hi Willi@m & APACS fans,

    On the thread "APACS fans", hellojeffo had posted his review on APACS nano900power rackets. It will be interesting to see what each individual player after testing the racket can give their comments.
    This will help others who are either unable to get so many APACS rackets or can't afford.
    Would you like to contribute your experiences there too?
    Come and join & share your expertise.

    Thanks

    Why is it that nobody is mentioning that APACS appears to be a direct and blatant ripoff of Yonex?

    we all realize that it is, but I dont see your point? it offers close or similar (yes i know, debatable) performance at like 25~50% of the original price of yonex. my allegiance to brands that sell rackets for $200 isnt strong, when another company sells the same racket thats readily available in my area for $50. I dont know about your wallet, but mine is pretty thin

    Mine is pretty thin too, but my job is in Intellectual Property so I can't advocate someone ripping off another company and everyone giving them a golf clap just because they save you a few bucks.

    I know Yonex asks for a premium for their rackets - heck, the Nanospeed 8000 is $345 bucks here - but why not support another company that doesn't have to rip off someone else?

    I realise everyone does it to an extent - heck, it's just a badminton racket - but this leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. They can't even come up with their own graphics.

    easy tiger, apacs have developed their own line which does not copy YY. would you think that is ok to you? actually i used many of their demos before, i prefer their own line more than the copied models. just my personal preference.
