hmm but its hard to get a zymax 62 in subang here tho, but theres another brand which also has 0.62

so should i settle for bg66 with 26lbs or zymax 62 with 24 or less?? i mean like if bg66 is equivalent, then i think i should just get the bg66... because its thicker so it should last longer right??

these are thinner than bg85, so i guess it will produce more power than the current bg85 with 27lbs?



*********

i don't have the best accuracy around, so i think i will go for something more forgiving, already using edgesaber Z slayer laugh.gif



so it comes down to...

a)BG85 with 24lbs
b)BG66 with 25 lbs (more sling shot i guess, or should i get higher tension.. i have troubles after first round with bg85;27lbs)
c)zymax62 with 24lbs or lesser

which of these have the most power?? i can adapt to control so im just looking for the most power here sweat.gif

Could it be your arm/wrist/body power only manage to explode the full power of 24lbs string but not 28lbs?

let say LinDan use 24lbs smash is 200km/h, use 28lbs smash is 250km/h, he is strong enough to explode the full power of both string tension.
but you use 24lbs smash is 185km/h, use 28lbs smash is 190km/h, make you feel like both speed is around the same??  hmm.gif
So LinDan LCW they use 30lbs++ smash no power loh?? hmm.gif    if use 10lbs can smash gau gau??  biggrin.gif
*
haha, its more like, when its 30lbs, u need the force strong enough to make the 30lbs string repel to its best state (that means to make it like a sling shot)

the harder the tension = stronger power is correct, but someone weak like me can never use 30lbs to its full power but i will instead produce stronger force with 25lbs because im weak and the tension suits me enough, which is not too soft, not too hard, just right for the best repulsion and sling shot effect with my strength and swing speed.

more force + higher tension + higher stretch = faster shuttle

less force + lower tension + lower stretch = fast shuttle




less force + higher tension + low stretch = slower shuttle


more force + lower tension + low stretch = moderate speed



low stretch as in strings too thin, cant stretch much

yes so you need a tension suitable for your playing style including the force comfortable used by you when u smash or hit or wtv

hmm, for me, im now on bg66 25 tension, clears are moderate,need to play 1 more game to find out more , so far net play, smashes, are fine.

another thing is, does your own smashes look and feel slower to you ??

because my smashes, i find it very very very slow, but others dont seem to be able to catch it

********

on a side note, the Apacs nano 900, copy of Armotec 700P , is it worth buying??

Hmm could it be that ur reaction speed is so fast that u c everything is slow motion tongue.gif. Haha. I recently switched to apacs n i feel they are really good. U might wanna check out the racket specs of the nano n compare it with ur current to c if suits u. Without testing out the racket feel, technical comparison is ur next best bet.
*
im using an edgesaber Z slayer, yeahh , i hope its my reaction that is fast,haha. im an above average sprinter, and an above average long distance runner, but not the best in either of them , placed 16 but estimating around top 10 (got mess up and cheaters in list) in merentas desa, top 5 all MSSD and 2 MSSS cry.gif


but does anyone have any info or review about the nano 900 compared to its yonex counter part armotec 700P?


thinking of getting 1 laugh.gif

i have a nano900p red. it's clone of YY's AT900P.
i think it's obsolete now, replaced by nano990p.
basically the red and white doesn't really have distinctive difference.

i feel it's a very good mid stiff racket, although it's a clone.
it has a slightly heavy head balance and it's light (4u)
strung it with Zy67@28lbs by Arc
i have not played with the ES-Z but if it really copies the ARCZ profile..
- nano900p will be more user friendly due to slightly bigger frame (= bigger sweetspot)
- ESZ will be faster due to the slim frame profile which to YY, produces the same effect as Victor BS: less air resistance, increased swing speed
those points above are true IF and ONLY IF apacs really copies the ARCZ completely

somebody master the apacs ultimate doubles weapon already
sifuuu notworthy.gif
*
well im not in a rush for the nano900p, if you're thinking of selling do look for me then , that is IF and ONLY IF you wanna sell laugh.gif

for the EdgesaberZ , i do feel it swings faster as i tend to miss the shuttles or hit the top of the frame more often when i first got it , even though its slightly longer than most racquets around, so yes it does swing faster, how fast is it compared to its yonex counterpart is not known though.
its more of an even balanced that has all qualities but major in none racquet , im currently looking for 1 with noticeably more power, and with fast reactions such as the nano900p


*****
on a side note, theres saying that

faster swing = stronger smash
heavier head = stronger smash

so.. u guys judge yourself, which do you prefer, i personally think both will still have power with these characteristics , depending on your strings

i scratched my edgesaber Z today, the shaft, along the side poles, it saved me from getting my head rammed towards the pole, but the paint scratched just nice the edge saber Z slayer , all the words in the middle scratched off, other parts that got no words are fine, sweat.gif


it deemed itself worthy and im not gonna get nano 900 naw , laugh.gif



*********

btw guys, how does karakal grip compare to the RM10 ++ yonex grips? considering to try 1

and, any tips on how to smash better ??

i couldnt seem to get alot of force out of it, but angles are fine tho, nicely lined

yonex grip is so cheap? i always thought they are around Rm20
karakal is very nice. their PU is very tacky and thick
i've just changed a Victor Nanotec grip
haven test yet but initial feel of holding it, it's less tacky than karakal PU and feel a little bit weird

more or less RM15, haha.

no one recommends the edgesaber Z?? hmm.gif


well im using the edgesaber Z, i wanted it to be a training racquet, but i grew to love it ,swing speed is fast with slightly head heavy balance and allows quick reaction.Racquet is also slightly longer than most racquets around i noticed.

in exchange, SLIGHTLY narrower frame (very slight)

but its for me, im not sure about you, but do consider this weapon wink.gif

if it copies the ArcZ completely in design, it should be quite powerful
it is meant to have a faster swing due to the thinner frame profile
the frame is claimed to be a hybrid between the old oval shape and isometric shape..so it has a smaller sweetspot
it's harder to master and play with

is your unit a 4u? i think all clones are 4u
*
yes its a 4U, also a thinner shaft and longer, but stiff ,(some says it will get more flex when its longer, but they label it stiff AFTER it is put long, so its LONG ... and stiff doh.gif doh.gif )


i havent tried the arcZ , but the clone is a pretty a good racquet, its quite head heavy but the overall racquet is lighter,frame is a hybrid ,the width is slightly narrower with the isometric shape in the upper region

I just got myself a Yonex AT70 MG. It's powerful but there seems to be no control at all. Maybe I still need time to get used to it. I think that I still prefer my Isometric 80 light but a recently noticed that there is a large crack on the head so I'll be left with the 70MG.

I am still considering getting another racket in a months time or so. The 70MG is just too difficult to use IMO because of the lack of control. Drop shots are terrible.

Since I picked it up solely to get more power behind the shuttle I think I cant complain much about it. Some of you guys recommended the Tantrum 200. Any other models to consider?

well i just got an apacs Power Concept 700, an Armotec 700 clone, feels nice, with pro ace lethal 0.66 strung at 27lbs (free string sweat.gif )


will post a short review here later on
