I dun think so...u can search for yonex Armortech defend series or nanospeed..

Li-Ning N50 cost Rm1000..

Apacs EdgeSaber or NanoPower series racket around RM100 one should be a good deal for you. . .


He already tell his budget at the previous post, then why you still recommend him Li-Ning N50????

I did say " I don't think so ".

u got N50 for Rm1000? got sembelih like hari raya qurban

YY AT/NS series wont fit the Rm100 budget too

sifu Omage did a very good recommendation. EdgeSabers or Nano series

Thinking of getting a EdgeSaber Z Slayer or NanoPower 7000.

Questions about the string tension thou. A higher string tension generates more power?

Apa ini sifu sifu? I am a beginner only lah. . .

Sifu ziggy, if a 5U head heavy racket vs a 3U even balance racket, theoretically which one is more better for smashing and which one more easy for defense? (provided the shaft stiffness is around the same, I never own any 5U/6U racket before, wonder how good those Apacs Light series can be. . . )

Dear Sifus,

I am an amateur at badminton. Currently I am using the following 2 rackets below & planning to get another 1.

1.> RSL Millennium Heat 8160 - Tension 25
2.> Impact Diamond X5 - Tension 27

Mainly I will use my RSL for Offensive game & Impact for Defensive. I'm looking for a mid racket which can be used for both Offensive & Defensive. Any suggestions?

My current rated stats, my personal opinion. (1-very bad - 10-Very Good)

Smashing - 5
Backhand - 3
Drops - 7
Serves - 7
Baseline Return - 4

p/s: I am currently eyeing the APACS Raptor MK 1 however the seller has no more stocks... Budget around RM 300 (irregardless new or second hand)

Any advise/suggestions is highly appreciated.

wa very hard question to answer. i don't have a super light racket. i don't have a balanced racket.

but you got me thinking. so here it is.
smashing wise, i guess the 3u will win, due to the weight and apacs's super light series punya head heaviness really isn't that heavy
defense wise, the apacs head heavy 5u will win. the lightweight will even the head heavy out a little bit.

i heard they're great, just slightly more fragile due to less material used.

Hi all,

I am looking for badminton racquet similar to Apacs Nanospeed 9000 (of which unfortunately no longer in production ). The racquet I am looking for is head balance weight, 4U. I am a double player, my game more towards placement, cause my smash not that powerful. I do like to play a lot of defensive game and counter-attack mode too, i.e. opponent smash, I defense till opponent no energy to smash, or get my opponent move left right, to smash, till he got to lob back the shuttle for me to smash back. My budget around RM150. Any reconmendation? Thank you, thank you.

In addition, I am trying to let go my Apacs Edge Saber Z Spark too, I dont think it suit my playing style cause I found it bit head heavy, more suited for better, and aggressive player who got better power. Any taker? Pls PM me for details or click on my signature

Greetings all sifus,

After taking advices and tips on which to buy, I proceed to Ipoh in hope of getting one for myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Apacs racquet in the shop. I end up buying Yonex NanoSpeed 100 and Pronex Nano 9900 Power. Any sifu uses it before and would like to give me a review on it?

By the way, what is the difference between BG-6 and BG-66? Since I'm not that sure of the differences, I chooses BG-6. Will get my racquet on Tuesday

which shop u went to?
which area?

Yik Fong Complex, my friend can get discounts there.

At first plan to go to another shop at Oldtown but it's close and I'm quite in need of a racquet

ooo. wat to do, today sunday. sure close shop.
there's one shop before the river at the city, right side row of shops.
not bad. good stringing.
never go to the shop nearby the old ocean. they only sell finnex.
although i heard they're stringing not bad

Today I just went to Jusco Tebrau(Johor)..I went to take a peak on the badminton section. Guess what? Armortech 600 costs 499++..and then yonex Aerosensa 30 costs me 100..which I can get both from Honly.. at least RM100 and RM 65++ less respectively..but still I saw one guy buying that..
