Would like to ask the sifus here, have anyone tried Yonex Muscle Power Limited? Anyone who is using it currently and can give a review about it? Can't seem to find much info about this racket. sad.gif Seems like a MP99 but does it play like a MP99? Considering this racket as a spare or maybe main racket.

I m looking for kakis to play as well but I m just a noob. Locations somewhere near PJ State would be preferable!

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedbacks

I wonder this 2 rackets when you guys commented on it, how's the grip? You know some ppl wrap it thick, some wrap it thin and it does make some difference on the balance of the racket.

Of course prices in Pertama can be bargained. Just the matter of how you bargain.

Again pricing of Apacs I m not sure in Pertama, but definitely you can try to haggle, bargain, discuss etc etc or you can check out some eager seller here.


There's no point buying a racket RM500+ racket when you can't fully utilize it. I bought a RM200+ racket I can't use it, my stupidity for that. I am only able to use a free old racket given to me by my uncle long time ago. sad.gif

So I guess you guys have to spend fortune on eye checking no ? Etakoh is carrying Apacs, I went with my friends last Friday for some shopping and they have quite some choices for Apacs line  biggrin.gif
The price is of course negotiable, but I guess you can get good pricing too from our online retailers.
I guess same case happened to me too I had to let go my AVH1800 I bought recently and play with my old ProAce Widebody 33 only. Lin Dan once said to me " You dont simply change racket eventho for higher end, stick with what you feel good playing with"  thumbup.gif

Nah...eye checking is free of charge nowadays. rolleyes.gif
You too can't use Apacs racket eh? cool2.gif
Lin Dan told you that? Gawd..... notworthy.gif notworthy.gif but I have to agree on that. thumbup.gif

Just visited Pertama and they are doing promotion for apacs and some others barnd..buy 1 free 1 or 5)% discount on frame....
not much different with ZhenSheng price....but the models just a bit differnt with a UK stciker there...may b it is original from UK...but apacs is from malaysia right?

want to ask, furious better or edge saber? both same price..in dilemma
*
Buy 1 free 1 or 50% off? Sounds not bad.

Furious (which model) or Edge Saber? Elaborate more on your play style and level then it would be easier for ppl in here to give you their comments.

hey thanks for the info... recently fall in love with bg 85.. feeling wise i think they are more or less the same.. but i feel bg85 has better control (especially netting).....

and er.. y am i got the "lagging feel" when using both bg80 and bg85, compare to bg 66? icon_question.gif
*
Ron... BG85 slightly thicker string compared to BG66 by .01mm tongue.gif
What you lbs you use with BG66 get it 1 ~ 2 lbs higher compared to BG66.

I don't whether its me or what but I been using BG80 all the way and on a few occasions BG85, the color of the string does have a little difference it seems. Very apparent especially with BG85 and a little on BG80. So I stick with BG80 blue color only now.

Go to the errr.. hmmm I don't remember its YMCA or YWCA there's a badminton hall there and a shop there. I got my shoes from there and my size and also some bigger size but that was sometime back last year.

It feels solid, I believe what mois meant is quite fragile in term of a single clash will result in unfortunate breakage of the frame. findecano1's AT900T retired due to clashing  cry.gif

mois, thinking of selling off that AT900P ? Or its already k.o ?
*
cry.gif cry.gif aiyaaa... why you bring back the sad story? But durability of Yonex racket nowadays is nothing compared to the olden days Carbonex series. BULLETPROOF! AT900T lost to an old Carbonex 8 vmad.gif aluminium body shakehead.gif

I think my Cab21SP is going to last me forever and same goes for my uncle's Cab21 (13+ years /w the old Yonex logo flex.gif ) with all the battle scars to on it to prove!

Let's see how long all my racket will last since in the bag now left only AT700, Ti10 and Cab21. AT700 should go first I think as the 5 o'clock position grommet sinking already. Ti10 still okay at the current moment with 29lbs on it ( unsure.gif hope it does not suddenly die on me like it happen to most of the Ti10 that I saw ) but if the old one don't go new one how to come? ARC10 ARC10 drool.gif

hey all want to ask ~~

i want to buy Yonex raquet..

my budget is below RM200 ..

does Arcsaber or Armortec have this price ?

any other good yonex raquet ? hmm.gif
*
To be frank, how good a racket is depends on who is wielding it. No point buying an expensive racket if it does not suit your style.

You will still be able to get some Yonex rackets at your budget but anything below RM300 from Yonex are not that good (that's what they say in the forums). Use something that is within your budget and suits you. If you really want good strokes and technique use an oval racket otherwise isometric for easy learning and hitting.

wow bro you better change your grommet! so sorry to hear that it had already shrunk in to the frame

i changed my grommet straight away right after AJ spoiled it, it was a brand new arc z and strung with nbg 98 @ 28 pounds

the whole grommet came out but he didnt want to re-string it for me sad.gif so i just cut the whole string n replace it with new grommets
Check this linnk out pretty scary and how helpful grommet is hahaha
http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/sho...ead.php?t=79761

Unfortunately my grommet sinking would be more like this guy's AT900P

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/sho...ead.php?t=71212

So putting new grommets in won't help unless I get those string protectors then it would be a different case but the balance point will shift


QUOTE(plkvoon @ Jan 20 2010, 05:26 PM)
i begin to love my at900t.... it was not a smooth sailing changing from arc7... needed like 7-8 sessions to get used to head heavy racket..... now another racket in my mind, Ti10.... most likely will be getting this legendary racket after reading so many good reviews..... this will be my last racket for this year.... gf start to complain and complain... kekekkekekekeke......
*
Transition from AT900T to Ti10 would be easier and you will see a small difference as I feel that the AT900T shaft have slightly more flex than the 2nd gen Ti10. Some of them say that the "kick point" of both racket is different

Just came back from Chiang Seah Bangsar for shuttles and shorts.

Accidentally asked for the Li Ning BP 300C, accidentally wielded it for a while, accidentally asked for the price and stuffs, thank god I didnt accidentally go to ATM.

It felt slightly lighter than the AT700 but very hard flex, close to none. I absolutely love it. Pray to god I can resist this temptation. Baru aja ingat mau take Ti-10 but......

Now the "but" is really disturbing T_T

No wonder I feel that someone calling me....

I wish I can get another racket drool.gif Panda T2 but right now funding for another hobby. Reviews and specs wise seems like a go to racket. Let's see how it goes with my still existing rackets again. If my 2nd gen Ti10 were to go off then the next one would be a T2 or Arc10. Will be trying 30lbs at that time. brows.gif See budget at the time when it dies on me. I am reviving my AT900T just going to use it till the string breaks then keep in cupboard collect dust. A bit wasted to cut the strings also .. sad.gif

Planning to get one ar? Get T2 for more all around play. U or U2 would be something like AT700 although not same and its more suited for single play unless you got Popeye's arms. notworthy.gif

For T will nice.I try before lunch to market.Still consider to take or not.
Findecano : T or U  is depend how is ur game and ur mentality control actually. But then i would suggest more T coz the racket perform nicer feeling then U. If u really hard hitter head for U. T i would say just nice and it is friendly racket to use. thumbup.gif

Yeah true to that. It is always back to the wielder of the racket. Given in any scenario always choose a racket that is suitable for oneself and not what the pro use. I would say that I hit hard but I just don't like the feel of thick shafted rackets so definitely no U for me. If you were to bring in the T2 I might consider it rclxms.gif drool.gif brows.gif hmm.gif

Still have long time to arrived.Need wait SG there confirm togather then only the stuff arrived in Msia
U din warm up before u play your game? Try reduce 10% of your tension if still so same things then change racket lo.

No worries not in a hurry to get it unless my Ti10 suddenly go to racket heaven. Can bring in some Zymax string as well? rclxms.gif

QUOTE(ziggy87 @ Jan 28 2010, 11:52 AM)
got warm up and cool down
this is the first time i string at 26lbs though..
now maybe less pain coz the string lost a bit tension after so many smashing and i getting used to it
thinking deep into BG65 @ 26lbs

*
It would be quite normal to experience the slight pain when you upped the tension. Happened to me as I upped the tension on my racket. I have not used BG65 before but I think thicker string will lack the whippy feeling compared to thinner strings.

Need to know for 62 and 67
I wonder how the 62 will last at 29lbs but I don't break strings normally rclxms.gif so should be okay for me I guess

Snap fast?! How fast they would snap compared to BG66 at the same tension?

Eyh I thought I mentioned 3UG4 ! Its player version of AT700.

Hehe, sending you pm now bro thlim78.

ziggy87 hows your current weapon so far ? I think my current one serving me really good. Btw its Panda Power Ultra II with BG66 25lbs, very fast, stiff racket. My smashes are powerful with AT700 but kinda slow in maneuverability.
