    Man I'm really dying to try the AMPs and the Nano PRO 9600 Tour, but I can't seem to find any webshop selling the 9600 and apacscanada doesn't seem to be too keen on replying my enquiry on the shipping cost to sweden.

    Does anyone have any tips on where i can get a hold of these raquets. Preferrably within the EU to avoid large toll charges. :)

    Thanks.

    What a lovely picture!!!

    Just a matter of interest: Which Apacs racket you would consider to recommend/is most suitable (if possible your reasons too)for:

    1) junior player (beginner)
    2) junior player (able to play game)
    (say junior is 16under)

    3) adult leisure player (beginner)
    4) adult club player(intermediate)
    5) adult league player

    6) any diffrenecs for male or female?

    Does anyone know is Apacs made in UK? I think I read somewhere that Yehlex make rackets for Apacs?

    Of course, Elegant-original takes the cake,white is always a sign of class after all. But the 'fake'(current status) racket spells out 'FEAR ME',so yeah, that's quite something...I was referring to the AMP 99(BBESHOP) but the 95 is quite something too.

    No idea, but that's probably why I never see any AMPs(all three) and the Nano PRO 9600 tour.

    So far, I haven't seen any of the AMPs in the usual stores here in KL.

    My friend and I only got our AMP88s :D from online seller 'zhensheng' in the Low Yat forum. He's selling all the AMPs for about RM2xx but he's now running out of stock for certain models.

    As far as I know, the Nano Pro 9600 Tour, I can't find at all.:confused:

    Last week, went to AJ Racket Mart in Puchong and got myself the Fusion Pro 8899 (40T, Woven Tech) which is slightly cheaper than the AMPs. Very happy with it.

    Maybe the eBay guy was right when he said that they were discontinued. I bought the last AMP and Nano Pro 9600 Tour from Honly in JB.

    I had a try of AMP95 on Friday and i found it too light. It was a 3U racket but i felt it was a bit slow when defending for some odd reason.

    Everyone's different and you cannot go by what I (or anyone else says), you have to try the racket yourself to know for sure.

    What is the dry weight of your AMP95? Mine were all 88.5-89.5g. BP around 305.

    As for the racket frame, it's a wide body, thick frame. This is what makes the racket so strong. I have no problems using it for defense, in fact I welcome it.

    Again, everyone's different. :)

    Your description..is somewhat very confuse..

    Light racket ....and ... slow...... it is not usually the case in racket design..

    light racket give u fast racket .. may be less powerful

    Heavy racket somewhat powerful and slow.. ...

    You swung it around? You didn't actually try the racket, in any detail?

    *shakes head* :p

    With or without strings? Inside or outside a room? :p

    Not always, like in the case of AT900T...very fast, but feels not extremely light. And also, like maybe an AT700 4U is very light...but slow.

    Design is just as important as weight!! (like frame profile, etc)

    With string and on court for 3 hours. The tension might have had something do with me not liking the racket because it was 5lbs lower then what i play with.
