    Anyone with a decent amount of strength would get a kick out of the VH1800. My main racket now. :D

    both nano power 900 white and ES10 are similar. they are both slightly head heavy n 4U rackets. ES10 has a very very slim frame profile while the 900 white has aero shape. chongkiatz, u gotta go for look at the rackets in the shop. just chatting online can only get you so far.

    You guys speak a lot about the ES7 and 10 but i saw there is a 9 too ... is it only a fake, or they just stopped producing it cuz it sucked ... i was wondering cuz im more interested in the 9 than the 10

    There is a ES9 and it comes in 2 colors. One color is almost the same as the Arc9 except the white is not as white and the pink not as bright.

    I can't remember what the other color was.

    The other colour is white, pink and gold. The gold part is at the frame area and lower shaft.

    APACS update:

    Panda hasn't played much badminton these days but is pretty convinced the Lethal 50 and Tantrum 200 are among APACs best rackets. I prefer them over the AMP90/95 and Nano Pro 9900.

    Both the L50 and T200 have the near perfect balance of attack and defense for the modern professional or advanced player. They are definitely not the most powerful rackets but have that ultra fast defense/response that's needed at the higher levels.

    The L50 is a bit more demanding than the T200. If you want a bit more power, go for the L50, if you want a bit more mobility, go for the T200. The T200 reminds me of a 4U AT700 but the frame is stronger and more balanced.

    Both the L50 and T200 have very strong frames, both can take 31lbs. ECP with no problem. The AMPs are still very good but they are just not as fast nor as strong (frame-wise) as the L50 and T200.

    If you want Woven 7 type power in a heavy 3U, try the Nano Pro 9900 with woven frame. It's noticeably more powerful than the AMP95 and more agile. The frame seems to hold up well, though the woven frame gets chipped or "glazed" easily but hasn't broken. The NP9900 is one of the stiffest rackets ever but doesn't feel it. It feels solid and maybe the most powerful 3U racket Panda's tried to date.

    The VH1800 is another top racket. It's great in all aspects and up there with the L50 and T200. If you want a bargain heavy hitting racket that's more moderate in stiffness, check out the VH1500. That thing is quite demanding and head heavy and hit bombs. Just don't expect too much defense. The frame is also very strong on the VH rackets.

    More later...

    Completely different rackets. The 9600 is an all-around racket. The 9000 is an extra stiff attacking racket, too stiff, no feel. I like the 9600 better.

    Another great racket is the Nano Fusion 608Pro.
