Playing style? I cant think of any lolz, long time since i last played badminton, prefer an all-rounder one. I've heard about apacs, are they really good? Budget around rm200 i think. I got a few choices after reading reviews and forum:

1) Apacs Tantrum Shot 969
2)Apacs Tantrum Power 150 International
3)Apacs Visible Hollow 2000
4)Apac Rapier Z R
5)Apac Nano Fusion Speed 722

i am open to all other brands as long as it is valuable. I would love to have a racket that i wont be changing for some time.

Can anyone tell me, this 3 Asics shoes, is it the same, but with difference color only?

yes color differents

forget the rapier z and out of others, i recommend the VH 2000 or Tantrum Power 150

Last week I visit a shop, and the salesperson told me it is not the same coz difference batch difference version. . .

anyway, I google some website and found out it is the same. . .

so Yonex/Nike/Adidas/Asics got any others badminton shoes around RM220+ and better then Asics Gel Rocket 4 one? I am using Nike Court Shuttle III now. . .

Why rapier z arent good? And VH 2000 is stiff one right? I scare i dont have the power to handle the rackets. I dont know la, i don know where is my power level at.

Visible Hollow is a excellent racquet and its head heavy. I have a VH 1500 strung with Yonex BG85. Not really suitable for me but its a good racquet nevertheless.

might wana get a racket around 85g and slight head heavy, mayb 290bp

still havent found any shop selling apacs tantrum 200!!! is this racket really that popular???

i wanna ask, if i buy string and racket, then i go those shop help me string, they normally charge how much? If normally i buy string from the shop, they wont charge anything?

i read a review that claim that it can even generate more power than yonex AT800... not sure whether it's true or not

I'm wearing a pair of Mizuno (not sure the model though). They are pretty comfortable and good for indoor courts.

first of all..i heard this..i don't own 1 (apacs z)
it vibrates like a massager and the rapier (sg version) has a smaller frame than spark (mas version)
vibration of the rapier is less than the spark but still very obvious

i recommend the VH or Tantrum because they're apacs own range and not bad too..bang for buck
if u're not sure wat type of racket suits u, then get the fusion or tantrum shot first..since they're cheap
mind u..the fusion is 5u

Thanks for the info, ziggy87 i will try some apacs rackets next time, currently "stuck" with victor lolz.

Classic White




Blazing Red




Cool Blue




HipHop Black

What the...Wear these for badminton? That cloth type is heavy and hard. Bata is trying to make fun of badminton.

Old school is cool. I'm using my dad's badminton bag to my badminton sessions

Old Skool

Then watch some old school badminton video clip also. . .



Seem like they don't use any badminton bag to carry their racket & clothes??

old school player got more stamina then player nowadays? they still can play fast at the 3rd set; and 3 games of 15 points is almost equal with 4 games+ of 21 points, no?? somemore those old school racket is not as 'efficient' as new racket now.

old school shuttlecock quality seem like more durable also. . .

and when the shuttlecock land on the net, the one who most near the net will go pick the shuttlecock; but players now will just walk away eventhough the shuttlecock is just 1 step front if their opponent hit the shuttlecock on the net, why???



But my area hard to see any shop selling Mizuno indoor shoes, jogging shoes maybe got.
