Go shopping doesn't necessarily means that I am paying wut....
I don't mind driving that's all but if I am buying and paying I am like a gold fish uncle adi

TAK NAK!

It is more of a matter of preference IMO. I still prefer rougher strings like BG80 which is better for netplay as it kind of 'grabs' to the birdie when doing tumbling netshots. Currently using ZM67 but it is kind of not as good as BG80 at the same tension. In badmintoncentral, there's a talk about ZM67 being somewhat a little different compared to ZM62 and ZM70.

Sound IMO does affect some what of performance. My understanding is that if you can hear the BOOMING at least you know you are hitting dead on the sweet spot. It gives somewhat of a 'confirmation' that you have hit the birdie correctly.

Anyone have any experience with Apacs Stern 300?

I am now looking for a replacement racket for my RIP Ti10 2nd gen.
Can't afford expensive rackets anymore

Thank you ziggy, I do appreciate 'bak kum' to fund for my next racket.

Thanks for your offer. Below is the pic what do you think?


Already can separate into 2 parts at the broken area. Repairing it, wouldn't that affect the BP and would it still be able to sustain 29lbs tension?

Since you sell rackets as well. What's your opinion on the Apacs Stern 300? Might be the next racket

Well guess there's no point to repair if the frame balance goes off and can't hold that tension.

"Old don't go, new won't come"

I am not sure about the T200 compared to the Stern300 as the T200 frame looks thicker compared to the Stern300 and I am more used to slim frame rackets. Coming from using main rackets like old skool blue 2U Cab21SP then 3U Ti10. Have Armotec700 and Armortec900T but my swing style not suited for it so they are sitting in the bag eating dust most of the time. AT900T I can only use properly but not optimally after I modded the BP to low 280. I can only swing fast with slim frame even balance rackets so that's why I am looking at Stern300.

Have some sympathy la ziggy need all the funds that can be mustered for a new racket... Give me white mandarin orange I spray gold color give you back then you surely have gold adi..

I read your review in BC about the S300. I don't rely on head heavy rackets in order to produce power in fact the power is even lesser if I use head heavy racket as my swing slows down due to the heavier head. May I know where you play? Since you have the S300 maybe can test it out?

I didn't read before any post by you that you "sacrificed" any rackets ma.. so how to sympathize?

Spray adi then more 'kum' ma

Don't spray then just paint la.. it doesn't take much to paint an orange

Where would you be this Saturday after 7pm or Sunday anytime? If can be at Sri Petaling that would the be best!

It is okay then bro. Thanks again.

Went looking around in Pertama for the racket. Tested the racket by swinging and test bending the shaft stiffness. Seems that it would not be the racket that I am looking for.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you.

How did it happen if you are not too sad to tell the tale?
