    Hi all,

    Looking for specs like FW55, 8u,hh,flexible but unfortunately it's only up to max 28lbs when stringing.
    Looking for similar specs but hopefully can take up to 35lbs.

    TIA

    My friend using apacs fw 55. I was tempting to buy too.. thinking that good for defense.. like you .. i was also searching for lightweight and eventually gotten myself Li ning Air force 80 lite ..80gram.. and li ning windstorms 72 at 72gram. Li ning air force 80 lite is head light while windstorm 72 is head heavy.. i would say... Air force is super fast in defense and windstorm is super is defense and offense.. both can take 30lbs. Mine strung at 25 lbs. After using both for some time.. i tried apacs fw 55.. oh man.. it feels like a toy to me.. to light it feels like plastic toy.. i miss my windstorm... Loll.. realised.. apacs fw 55 prob good for defense... But.. i sort of still prefer windstorm... Ordered li ning turbocharging 75i. Looking forward to use this instead.

    Yes bro, it's a very fun racket & not tiring for me in the early 60's category.
    Will check out your recommendations as well.

    Thanks both for your feedback.

    Karakal BN-60ff was the first one of its kind in Super-Light category much before apacs FW /XS weighing only 60 gm AND can take tensions upto 30lbs . that truly answers OP question.

    Yer welcome .. :):):):)

    Look for the newer APACS Feather Weight X or the newest APACS Feather Weight XS, they are the FW 55 repainted and max tension is 30lbs.

    That truly answers to your opening thread. Your are more than welcome.
