Review on Lethal 11 - Played for ~ 4hr (in 2 days) Here are some of my experiences with Lethal 11 (25lbs BG65) after playing with it for the second day. The rackets seems to be flexible even though the shaft is not that flexible. The racket vibrates. Very easy to swing - easy for back hand clear, back hand drop shots, and offensive strikes like - fast drives shots, continuous smashes, sharp drops shots etc. It is a headlight light weight racket, so difficult to generate power unless one swing it in the correct way. So far here are my ratings- Control: 8/10, Speed: 10/10, Power:8/10, Defense: 9/10, Doubles game: 8/10. Singles game: 5/10 Price: Could have been slightly less. Durability: Cannot say much right now. Overall : A+++ for speed. B- for vibration.

Nano Super Light II Material : Carbon Nano Tube Flex : Flexible BP : 295 +/- 3mm Weight : 6U / 74 Gr Max Tension : V : 30 Lbs H : 32 Lbs
wow ... new apacs racket .. is it already on market or this is just a sample pictures ? what's the difference between nano super light and super light II ?
Just limited items, not so much quantity for market. From the sales guys just have information about 100 pcs. Different at BP and the shaft flexness. Gen I bp 315 and stiff, Gen II 295 +/- 3 mm and flex ( actually we trying the shaft almost med stiff ).
carbon nano tube? well on Yonex website "Increased derability and improved flexibility allows the frame to return back to its original shape faster. Positioned at the sides of the racquet, CS Carbon Nanotubes improve the frame's elasticity holding the shuttle on the string bed for enhanced control at the point of impact."
We really need more Apacs rackets in the UK. Whenever i look on the site they are more often than not out of stock or in Canada or HK but not here.
still remember the tantrum 200 that out of stock for a long time? now arc1414 from the lawyat .net have 500 pieces of stock for it ! wow~
Hey one minor complain about the L90 1. the paint job is below average because theres creases on the paint (which i think are decals) and the alignment on it is way off. 2. the shared grommets are smaller so any strings that are .69mm and up will have difficulty going thru
Just got myself a Z Spark and had a game with it.... Specs: Z-Spark frame, NBG98 at 25lbs & Sintec grip. Balance: Although it says even balance on the frame, after string & grip, mine feels a slightly head heavy. Stiffness: Compared to Yonex original, the Z Spark is slightly stiffer (very slightly)! This is not exactly a review as I only have a 3 hr session with the racket and all of it doubles. I am only an intermediate player giving my 2 cents worth! Haha... On the racket, its takes quite a while to used to the racket (my previous racket is a Zelm PP10K). The sweet spot for the Z Spark is much smaller compared to my previous rackets so it takes a fair bit of aiming to get the right spot. At first, all I hit was around the frame. After an hour, I managed to hit the sweet spot fairly accurately and that is where the Z Spark shines. Drops are quite accurate, net drives are powerful and smashes even more so. One weakness which is to be determined is whether the Z Spark vibrates when hit. I'll probably need another session to confirm. Overall, I am quite happy with the Z Spark from Apacs but small sweet spot and yet to be determined vibration are its weaknesses. Hope this helps! Edwin
This is the expect feed back from Z-Spark. You are absolutly right on your review. Since the sweet spot is smaller, you may miss hit so easy and often. Then you will feel the vibration. THAT's what most players say IT VIBRATE a lot. In fact, they feel the vibration from off center hit. It will be even more noticable when you playing with PLASTIC bird...
Oh.. sure Visible Hollow 2020 has a ISO frame. Sweet spot is much bigger when you compare with Spark. It is a very user friendly racket.
thanks. how about the tantrum200 and lethal 50 or 70? are they isometic as well? do they have a larger sweet spot as well?
You are probably right. There is less vibration as I am able to hit the sweet spot more often. But on the off-hits, the amount of vibration is much more significant compared to my previous rackets. Thanx for confirming my doubt! Oh I forgot to add that the Z Spark is pretty good for doubles defence too. Its pretty quick, not as quick as Zelm PP10K but quick enough. Edwin
