Are they really the same length? I used to have a VH1300 and it was considerably longer than all my other rackets, especially the AMP 90...can it be that the rackets I got were just made differently?
Hello Sirs and Madams! Just thought I'd let you guys know... "Oct 15, 2008....Due to the strong American dollar in the past few weeks. We are forced to increase our selling price. Effective on Oct 25, price will be increased by about 15-20%. Thank you for your understanding" Found out while I was surfing their site! www.apacscanada.com Shop quick!
the AMP95 is head heavy to me. NOT slightly. but it's not super head heavy. else it would be head heavy+
DinkAlot, did you make a mistake here? I am looking at the picture of a AMP88 on the apacscanada.com website and it seems that there are those 4 curved grommets near the t-joint of the racquet? Just want to confirm. Thanks!
AMP 88 has 2-pairs (4 pieces) of U-grommets, thats all. While, AMP 90 & 95 have Muscle Power 'curve/convex" surface all round the head frame, including the U-grommets. Muscle Power tends to withheld tension longer,better & reduce string wear, air-resistance is a bit weak thus swing speed wouldnt be that fast. What Avatar described were correct about balance& shaft feeling. Thanks !
thanks! hehehe, i thought U-grommets and MP grommets were the same! so i take it that the amp88 has a marginally faster swing speed than the other two? and MP grommets only provide better tension retention and string durabiltiy?
Well, I'm using it for now, I still carrry 4 or 5 AMP95s in my bag. I used it when Vining Wolff came here to play. It played very well. It's a bit less demanding, a bit lighter and a bit less stiff than the AMP95.
Assuming similar weight ~88g, yes, the VH1800 is about 3-5mm more head heavy than the AMP90. The 1800 is also about 2-3mm more head heavy than the AMP95. However, the 95 is 1-2g heavier in mass and not as aerodynamic so overall so it feels and swings a bit heavier than the 1800. In conclusion, the swing weight among the 90, 95 and 1800 are comparable, not a big difference.
Not really, but I did check out his old racket. Now that's the way a racket should be made, awesome material.
wow...thx for the information dinkAlot...give u a big clap...wonder next time i will have that rich enough to buy whole brand racket to try out =D...
What's an APACs racquet that is good in single for all-round performance? Also, what is the equivalent grip size of a Yonex G3 in terms of APACs? Furthermore, can I choose the weight of the racquet when I make an online purchase? Different topic, is there any store carrying APACs racquets? I would like to see them in-person.
DinkAlot....what is ur BP for AMP90 after string and grip?? my one is around 280mm~282mm if no wrong....just wonder how is ur bp thx
thx alot dink...finding some lead tape to make my head more heavy >.< it definitely hard to get a lead tape at my area....
Just bought an AMP90 (strung with BG66 @ 25 lbs, replaced the original grip with a Karakal Super PU). Tried it last week and love it. Also bought an Apacs Tantrum Shot 858 (strung with BG66 @ 25 lbs, overgrip with a Karakal Point 75) as a backup. Pretty well-balanced and cheap at RM12x. Both are keepers. Just sold off my AMP88.
