Voltic 80 (3U) vs VH2000 May be it is a comparison between exotic pomegranate and ordinary orange, but I could not stop posting about my to-go VH1700/2000 vs. Yonex VT80. I just got my VT80 (3U, G4) yesterday and played 7-8 games. In every game, I got on an average of ~ 10 extra points so easily that I never thought of it. I have to say VT80 is not just a racket. It has something that is making me feel that I have an extended arm. It far more head heady but that is not causing any problem. Surprisingly VT 80 has faster and accurate response. It is a clear winner. But still for perfomance / $ one gets, the VH2000 can easily be in the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] place; I would still say VH2000 is the BVFM for offensive style of play. However, I felt T200 can be the runners up.
I have a question about Apacs Shoe's. They have the Pro-line and the Cushion Power-line. According to http://www.apacssports.com/products.asp?cid=36&page=1 You have the Pro 650, 695, 700, 705 and 725. And then there're the CP 326, 327, 328, 630, 645 and 646. Is there anybody who tried on these shoes? How is the fit? I currently wear SHB102's in size 46 (30cm) so I'm at the maximum-size-range for apacs according to their site. Which would you recommend? (also, I don't mind they don't have the gripclaws except for the pro700, I wore shb85's and 91's before)
HI Jerby, you should try cushion power 328, it looks so good. i have been wearing the Apacs shoes and they are okay. i have tried Apacs Pro 695 and 700.
Heard about it. How did you like it compare to T200? Any improvement in its aerodynamics? Here I have to buy to try !! Too many rackets at home. I think I am going to stick to T200.
i bought T200 and T500 at the same time. i have used T500 first then i don't want to change any others rackets. it's good, less vibration.
T500 is has a thinner shaft and frame, but no where as close as how thin the new finapi and tweet series.
Is there any review on apacs super light II ? is a 5U racket...thinking to give it a try for light racket...need some comment about it.. Thanks
If u really want light go for the featherweight 200...it's 7u...I have one and it's really good to use after you played a 3/4u for a few games
finally now im a official member of this fans club for having my Lethal 70 from SG... this racket is totally different from my Flexible Sierra II Triple Threat, i hope this work for me ~ Lethal 70 Tension: 30lbs Grip: Wilson Hybrid
I get more power from VH2000, because it is more head heavy and aerodynamic –I can swing the racket faster and generate lots of power. It also dampens quite of lot of the impact shock - so overall I can play smashes after smashes in an attacking rally effortlessly . But I feel that it is somehow difficult to change the pace of a game with VH2000 racket – it becomes monotonous. T200 frame shape is less aerodynamic, but the box type frame is made for extreme power; it can generate lots of power , sometime more that VH2000. But I think (for me) the frame shape eats up some energy every time I lift the racket and go for powerful smash. Additionally T200 does not dampen impact shock. I tend to have elbow and shoulder ache if I play hard. That is my experience. I should say one can entertain the spectator with T200, but not that much with the VH2000. But if you want effortless smash with a head heavy aerodynamic racket and get points, VH2000 will be the right choice. Now you can see that “Irwan_kho” said he got the new T500. It has less impact shock and the shaft is also slim. I think it will be much better than T200 and VH2000 for a power play as well as better control of the court.
Hi y'all Sifus.......i m new here !!! wanna ask, which APACS is good for beginner ?? i m eyeing for LURID POWER !! Any good ??
Nano 900 Power or Nano 9900 ? which one better ??? Thanks for the info mate !! really appreciate it !
nano 900 power. or you can try finapi 77/77-ii. its pretty good and cheap (about RM90 each). if someone offers you buy 1 get 1 free @ RM169 then negotiate for a finapi 88/80 for your second one. its stiffer for when you get better the ones in bold are newer by a month of so.
Nano 9900 is flexible compared to Nano Power 9900. So for beginners it is easy to generate power with the Nano 9900 . Nano 9900 has longer shaft but shorter wooden grip. Frame shape is identical; Nano 9900 Power has strips of copper colored paint,which look much better. Nano 9900 has identical design to the Yonex version. Both the rackets might hurt you elbow joints. To avoid that use low tension.
