1. you can always monitor the forum

2. i heard a seller said before that claiming warranty in MALAYSIA normally fails. it's the opposite with the situation in europe/usa/canada etc where the chances of successful warranty seems to be higher. i dont know why and this is PURELY my OWN observation and reading. no statistics involved.
p/s: sometimes, the frame broken when FIRST time stringing also warranty fail.

3. Some say JP coded YY's are better in material. I don't own a YY so I don't know. authenticity wise..google on the way to read the codes. they have meaning.

4. before considering such expensive YY's, do look at other reliable-but-not-so-overrated brands like RSL, Gosen, Prince, Victor etc
(victor might be overrated too but my almost 10yrs old victor still going strong yo~ although it's my backup's backup haha)

So far my APACS racket is okey, bcz i do a very low stringing, it wont tight very strong. Can i know what is the racket model you use and the tension you string? because somehow is not the racket material problem, is the APACS racket not on par with the spec they have mentioned, so need to be careful everytime before stringing, get swing and see how's the feeling and just decide how much string tension to go.

my apacs is ok too
i string at 26 @ Bg66 on Nano 900 Power Red

i'm not defaming apacs here but a lot of their rackets are off spec
even mine feel lighter than the normal N900P
lighter = less material? = easier to break? i abit sked actually hahaha

Maybe previous u did bang before then just the unlucky day when u return the shuttle smash could be the shuttle hit the part tat previous u did bang before so + the impact the racket broke on the spot.

You have accept it wat it return from them or otherwise wait another 2-3 month send to claim again. Just try ur luck..

Complain also wont help much.

In another way racket can broke also by the stringer also. No exp might happen this also or ur tension too high as well.

I took my racket to check the weight, and it is actually quite "on track", im using stern 300 and the specification is written 84-86 and when i checked, it shows 92g in digital, so it meant about +6 - +8 on the string may be. But i feel always not on SPEC is my another racket Saber 10, when i hold on Yonex ArcSaber 10, it is head heavy version but for APACS saber 10, it is head balance version, and the weight i dont really few the difference bcz i used to it already.

but APACS already have many rackets return false, may be the QC is not that good for the manufacture.

although ES is the clone for AS, they certainly dun play the same

the string only add around 3g if im not mistaken
u forgot to mention the grip
if you're using original grip, then for sure heavier than what the spec stated

Yeah, true also, i have a thick karakal groove II grip and the original overgrip there.

anyone selling yonex SHB 101MX?

that adds the overall weight of the racket and reduces the head heaviness by a bit
so it's normal for you to feel that

i just bought a Yonex Nanospeed 9900 from a friend..is it a good racket?
and what kinda strings suitable for this?
thx

Yalor, i have more than APACS racket, the broken 1 stated can support up to 30, i sting at 26. The model should be 7007 if i not remember wrongly, it is my backup racket. =... (

You bought a high end racket and the question is "is it a good racket", define "good". How much u got it for ? Regarding string, what kind of string u used on ur previous racket ? How did it feel ?

My PP Ultra II sudah loses tension, I very tension when play with it hahaha. Im personally a fan of BG66, but seems like the Zymax gets good review. Bg80 on my AT700 still holds strong (but he rarely gets to play tho), just now used it for singles. Zymax 62 @ 27lbs on PP Ultra II ?

Damn exhausted, workout on monday, rest on tuesday, wednesday 3 hours badminton, thursday 3 hours badminton, friday running, saturday 3 hours badminton, I need a break hahaha. Speaking of which quite some times didnt play basketball or other sports, addicted to badminton altho skills very lousy

actually i just really start playing regularly, so before this just borrow my friends racket..now only start buying my own..hahaha..just play for fun only not really serious

my friend that sold me his racket (brand new) without strings at RM200..i think its genuine coz got hologram sticker and serial no etched on it..he said normal price is around 500..

Then? ur friend rugi RM300??

haha..had has extra rackets, that why he sold to me..

later i post the pic..maybe u guys can let me know whether ori or not, ok?

anyone heard of SSL? Korean brand apparently. Is it good?

wa bro..it might feel like 29lbs leh..


how come i dun hv such fren

btw, even the fakes hv hologram and serials
post up the serials..the pros here will let u noe whether it's genuine or not

or do some googling..u can find a way to understand the serials as they hv meaning
it's not just a label

ok..the numbers are etched on the shaft & cone: 7033737 / 0111182SP

how to find out?
