Bring back the racket where it purchase? Usually the shop will help them to claim if confirm manufacturing defects.

When did you friend purchase the racket?

Im not sure about apacs rackets warranty maybe a year?

I have a friend who has a Yonex arc Z and clash it while playing and it broke in a month or so and claim back a new arc z after 4 months i think

he bought it around 3 months ago
i asked him to take photos of the racket but till now, no news

KL - Pertama Complex, there are two quite famous badminton shop, selling various product.

Other place like Puchong AJ also got quite good reply from internet user.

i use wilson k Factor / (k) strike .. very good racket... i want to know what is the best string to use with this racket... currently i use yonex BG 66 22lbs.. im not .. strike type.. im net play type..(always play double) seldomly .. smash.. sory for bad english..

BG66 is quite ok for net play..normally ppl would have more tension for better controlling
but remember, higher tension might not generate enough power for your clears
for starters, maybe you can try increasing tension to 24lbs..MIGHT have better results
but if you think 22lbs is already good enough for you, then stay with it

BG68ti or BG85 are also good choices i guess

For control and net play, thicker string or higher tension might help.
The classical BG65 is good and cheap for control.
BG80 also not bad, although it is also very good for attacking.

Just my personal opinion. Hope it helps

finally obtained the photos..

what you guys think? mishit BG66@26lbs can cause this?
no clashes before

Look like the string strung with too high tension to me But, 26 Lbs is not that high anyway.....If for really strung at 26Lbs (sorry, I dont mean not to trust you, but, sometimes, mistakes do happen), then, most likely it due to manufacturing defects, the structure is somehow crack internally during production, so, if shuttle direct hit that spot, that's it..

My personal experience, I clash racket, but, the racket seems ok, not even scratch, but, after few months, when the shuttle hit the exact spot, the racket broke exactly like the picture.

i totally understand your statements
after clash, more often that not, it will leave a small crack. it's just how big it is

the racquet could take up to 30lbs max tension if im not mistaken
might stringer's fault be one of the factor for this broken frame?
he's quite experienced. he even strung mine, same string same tension different racquet
but experienced doesnt mean no mistakes..oh well

for attack play, choose those with head heavy rackets
for that budget, you can consider victor and some of the yonex-es

hurm can recommend other racket budjet RM500 for atk play and also string and string lbs?? and how about RSL DIAMOND X3 SILVER/GOLD?

you can ask arc1414 or okk for opinion on rackets

string and lbs..imho it's trial and error
some might like Bg66, some dont although i personally feel it's one of the best for attack play
but you might have to change it regularly due to it's poor durability

tension is another personal thing
i like 26lbs and able to play with it
but for those who can play higher than 26, they wont like it
in your case, you're playing 22lbs
you might not able to generate enough power with 26lbs and risk injury to your arm
keep in mind, higher tension does not mean better in terms of skill etc

stay with that string if you like it, except for experimental purposes

just my dua kupang opinion

You want attacking racket go for At 700 3rd gen, its below rm500 ngam ngam hou at your budget

or you can go for apacs attacking racket which are pretty decent as well

apacs are good but they tend to be not on spec
unless you're patient enough on sending back to supplier and wait them send back and check if the racket is on spec or not
if it's not, then the whole cycle goes again

for that budget, better brands are better options as they tend to be on spec (more often than not)
saves time, energy and money

just my 2 cents
kinda disappointed with apacs actually
but i would still aim for a lethal 70, on spec

Ya, i also agreed with you, all APACS clones are not on SPEC, especially those below RM100 rackets, once you hold on the racket you already knew. Unless you spend rm200 above for those APACS product, they do take lots of advantages seriously, that is worth to buy, just for example the lethal high end series, stern series, both I'm super satisfied and good enough for me to play.(May be I'm very noob??)

Added on February 21, 2010, 6:33 pmRM500 to me, almost like able to choose any good racket to suite me, hahaha... Go shop to test it and ask the shopkeeper to introduce you which the best. I heard many complains on this X3 since it is very new and a lot of ppl bought then sell faster, saw some trade on chinese cari.

Added on February 21, 2010, 6:36 pmFor the shuttle he said will be available after CNY, once i tested I paste the comments here, but seriously, to me if can compete with RSL silver (RM40/dozen) then the shuttle should be fine enough. Haha... Never think to be like those Protech Limited Edition ....
