Armor muscle pro 90 Hi Hoiboy79, I was recommended to look at the Apacs Armor muscle pro 90 too. Could you elaborate a little your experience with this racket? What level or style of play you use this racket? I am more of a recreaction, once a week, double player. Techniques & footwork is not so good,hence wrist power is poor. Smash and reaa court clearing is also weak - want to improve. I found that head heavy racket not suitable for me since hinder my defence(reaction slow and lack control) Much appreciate if you can give us your experience & view on this racket Thanks
Comments on my VH1800 and Nano 900 Power (white) After reading Dan's reviews, I have decided to try these two racquets. They both are 4UG2 with Apacs TI65 tour string that comes with it at my specified tension. Both racquets are quite easy to play with in terms of smashing and defense. I find that it's better than the Armortec 800 DE (4U) and NS9000 (3U) that I used to own. Also, I don't feel the head heraviness at all with either racquets. I ordered the racquets from www.apacscanada.com and picked them up at their warehouse in Markham. It took them only 1 day to prepare my racquets. They provide very good service and K.Y. is a very nice person to deal with. I find that Apacs racquets are priced very good. For ~$70 cdn, you can get a 'good' racquet, free string, and a 3 compartments racquet bag. It is for sure a good deal. Anyway, thanks to Dan for providing info on other brands!!
solid feel, heavy head - attacking hi, i'm new here. especially to the apacs thing. but reading this thread makes me salivate. so... wat wil be an apacs version of at900p/at800of? or... a fast manuver, heavy head, attacking racket, w/ solid feel. i play doubles, tend to be defensive, but use a racket that can help to deliver the KO.
your too kind, i would have loved to. but to bad i'm not in d states at the moment. i was asking coz if its not available in asia, where i am now, i would ask my family to get it for me. oh... i imagine a racket heaven at your place DinkAlot, after reading your reviews. i might drop by if i'm around do some demo, and ask advices. somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think there'll be somebody in indo like u. providing help in choosing the rackets, which we're not sure of buying yet. hahaha... stores/owners only care if you're definitely buying. (maybe in the philippines. anyone???)
Hey DinkALot, just a quick question for you. When you play with the Nano 900 Power Red, does it feel a little unstable and does it also tend to vibrate a lot? That's how I feel with mine. I played with my friend's AT900P and it felt a lot more solid and stable that the Nano 900 Power Red.
Tricky question because I have only really tested one that was 89g not the normal 85g. The 89g was pretty stable but I would guesstimate in general, the Yonex counterparts are going to be most stable. A good example is the Edge Saber 10, at 85g it's not too stable, at 89g it's more stable but the head is quite heavy and makes the shaft more flexible than the 85g. Ahhhhh, rackets, there are too many variables.
im looking for one of these bad boys to replace my yonex racket. Does any1 know where i can get them in or near San Jose.
I'd say your best bet is to order from www.apacscanada.com or from the seller racquet-sports on eBay. Unless someone is willing to sell one to you around the San Jose area I doubt you'll find any APACS rackets around there. I'd say if you're looking for one of the 'bad boys' that you order from apacscanada and go for the Armor Muscle Pro series or the Nano Pro 9600 Tour.
Hi all, I am currently using the AMP88 as my primary doubles racket. Was thinking of getting another racket as a backup. Can anyone comment on the AMP88 vs the Nano PRO 9600 Tour? Thanx in advance.
The way I see it(judging from others review), the Nano PRO 9600 Tour is more of a defensive racket, while the AMP88 is more of an offensive racket. But that's just from other's opinion though, I never used any of them. In fact, I'm thinking of getting a Armor Muscle racket, and what's the difference between ArmorMuscle 90 and 95 anyway, other than the Balance point and paint?
Nano Pro 9600 Tour definitely seems more like a defensive racket to me. I have both the AMP 90 and 9600
AMP90 has a slim frame and shaft design according to this: http://www.apacscanada.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_29/products_id/40
I have both rackets and the frame of the AMP 90 and 95 seem to be the same in thickness. The shaft on the 90 is a bit thinner than the 95. Both feel about the same stiff.
I'd say that if you choose the AMP 90 or 95 you won't be disappointed. I usually don't really care what racket I use but after using the AMP 90, I definitely felt somewhat of a difference. Very powerful.
