    Anyone has side by side pictures of AMP88, 90, 95? Or even higher resolution pictures that shows the whole racket? I can't make up my mind!

    I'm leaning toward AMP90 but AMP88 is $6 cheaper at ApacsCanada right now. :eek:

    Another problem is, I currently have a 9600 tour. Should I buy 1 AMP? 2 AMP? 2 AMP + 1 9600? :eek:

    I guess I'll decide after I find out if I got into the varsity team or not. :)

    You can smack like 8 APACS rackets and still have more money left over than if you bought one Yonex racket. :p

    First off, I think the AMP 95 might be slightly less head heavy than an AT900P. Very very slightly. And second, a slim frame will make a racket more aerodynamic, so you will be able to swing slightly faster.

    To generalize... Thinner frames tend to be more defensive and aerodynamic while thicker frames tend to be more offensive and stable.

    Keep in mind that factors like stiffness and balance also play an important role.

    Remember that power comes from the player... not the racket. The racket is the medium used to transfer this power. The power generated depends on your play style. Some will find the slim frame more powerful (due to faster stroke) while others will find the thick frame more powerful (due to higher mass).

    I actually can already, but then I have to mark out the brand name. The designs are different and there is a new range called TWoven. Just one guess which brand that comes from. :rolleyes:

    I'll try to post pictures of the rackets later on the day!

    It's not called Apacs, they are starting up another brand. That's why I blanked out the brand.

    That will depend on reseller. At the moment I've only the large quantity prices and they are lower then Apacs.

    Shuttlecock and other items have the same price.
