Hi I'm new here and only an amateur player smile.gif
My dad gave me a budget of RM 300, I was thinking about buying a Yonex Arcsaber 008. It costs Rm 250. Or a Yonex Nanospeed 800

But I've seen many good reviews about apacs own line and their clones. For RM 200+ should I get an apacs or yonex? Also I saw alot of broken apacs racket frames. Does this happen often? How about yonex rackets' durability?

Thank you all sifus smile.gif

what is your play style? attacking/defensive? singles/doubles?

for that budget, i rather get Apacs top line. AS008 should be similar to Tantrum series? Tantrum 200 suits doubles more.
if single, can get Lethal 70. if add extra RM50, can get Lethal 90 which is latest model from Apacs with aerodynamic frame.

yonex low range have very low max tension. if you string over that tension and it breaks, yonex wont let u claim warranty.
Apacs have higher max tension. if it's a clash between rackets, every racket have a high chance of breakage no matter it's Yonex, LiNing, Victor or other famous brands.

I play only doubles and i dont really have any specific roles.

I plan to use around 20lbs of tension on my rackets only. I think most rackets can take this?
Are apacs' clone rackets lower in quality compared to their own lines?

Any discounts in any shops near KL/PJ that are recommended? biggrin.gif

Thank you for all the help.

I'm now thinking about buying nanospeed 850 or armortec 70mg. Currently leaning towards the AT70mg. But seen some forummers say it is too head heavy and hard to maneuver around the net, is it really that difficult?

I tried both in a store and AT70mg only felt slightly heavier, when strung is it that big of a difference?

Thank you all sifus smile.gif

What do you guys think about the cheapest arcsaber, the 008? Is it a good racket for beginners or is the AT70MG more suitable? Unsure of which to buy from arc smile.gif

As there are very few reviews on the arc 008, I want to know about other opinions smile.gif
