    I don't think either of those 2 rackets (T200II or T500II) sells for below those prices. But I do agree they are good rackets as I own the T200II
    and I must say I can easily compare it to the arcsaber 11 if not somewhat a tad better.

    Don't u guys feel thru the years Apacs pricing has been increasing and some cases exceed that of the more popular brands? Till date their paint jobs are still not good.

    But that's a medium flex racket. Is there nothing in the range that's stiff?

    It's z ziggler repainted. Compact head, HH but has hollow feel. Med stiff and a fast swing. Watch out for grommets though.

    I have tried a virtuoso it was 5u and it was quick but power wasn't there. AVP is 3u swing speed won't be any issue, power should be there! Can't say about stiffness

    wow there is over 317 pages just on apacs rackets. it shows how complicated is racket biz. i have a Lethal 66, but somehow tgere is no such model when I do a search.

    I am staying in Singapore. where should i go to look for apacs rackets in Singapore or even JB? Is there a sitr where it display their range and price. hopefully also the equivalent of what they clone from.

    Sad to say Apacs is far from organised. It used to be a good brand for ppl on a budget....but as the Badminton scene got more competitive some big brands have started to drop prices. As such it makes Apacs existence questionable.
    Until today Apacs cannot give us a selection chart...all their rackets specs are messy.
    So we cannot expect much and the prices are getting more expensive.
    A good example is the AVP pro from Apacs is $85 but the Duora 77 from Yonex itself is only $100 all in!
    So as far as I'm concerned this brand is near it's end of the line with bad quality and lousy refinement. Even decals cannot be applied properly.
    Therefore nobody in Singapore will display their stuff. Naturally other than a sucker like myself no one is gonna get their stuff too.

    Just to answer ur question...to see Apacs just go their FB and approach their agent. But I feel for same money we can definitely get much better stuff.

    AVP is at $50 and I'm pretty sure that it's one the best bang for buck like ever.. I've tested a lot of rackets 3 or 4 times its price but I keep coming back to it. I agree that Apacs marketing and catalogue are a mess though.

    Almost all apacs today are 4u, mid flex 285-BP.
    Wish there were more 3u, stiff things.

    This was definitely the case many years back...nowdays I won't say the same abt then use to recommend it to juniors.
    So many years still cannot catalogue all their clones well.
    Sometimes they go nuts over a series for dunno what reason...like Featherweight....so many models....specs is like a decal just paste...with little or no bearing.
    Got 1 for old times sake that abt it.

    We do need people like them to bring down cost so that everybody can enjoy the game. Profit yes, but reasonable

    In singapore it's 100?! Because it's like 60$ here. Unless you meant with strings but even then it comes off at 69.3 or so dollars.
