err,can anyone recommend what strings should i use for apacs nano power 9900 ?

i prefer shot placing and occasional smashes and net play (all rounder.. sweat.gif )

but focus more on the smash part

and what shoes should i get below RM100?

well.. i recently got myself an apacs edgesaber Z slayer from siaojolene , very good seller btw, strung with yonex bg85 at 27 tension

thumbup.gif , very good all around racquet, but leaning slightly more towards smashing i'd say because theres slightly more power compared to my nanospeed 9900 also at 27 lbs yonex bg85


****************************

heres the thing, i have always had troubles playing net shots, they are either too high , or when i try to soften the "touch /push" , it doesn't go over !

any ways to practice this?? *this also occurs when someone does soft serves*

secondly ,when someone smashes, i see the shuttle clearly, and i always put my racquet below or beside the shutter as it moves and i move along when i try to hit it

*as in the shuttle is always just beside the racquet when i try to counter the smash,and i fail to touch it*

the not that i always miss, but just most of the time, sometimes i even hit the frame, any ways to practice this also??

im sure im fast enough, just lack in dexterity

Maybe ur touch & feeling is not good enough, or even u hold ur racket too tight... blink.gif
u can try juggling the shuttle gently & try not to hold racket tight..
hope this is what u need  biggrin.gif
*
hmm... i USED to hold it tight,now i made it much softer, could be too soft instead, ok bro, ill juggle the shuttle around, haha.



********************

RM500 could be worth it tho,but even for intermediate players we're only buying apacs or racquets that price laugh.gif

actually sometimes it depends on the buyer itself. some intermediate players might have the spending power and willing to spend RM500 for a racket.

what racket would u guys get if u have RM500 to spare? brows.gif
i'll get a BS10/SW35/AT900P biggrin.gif
*
well... ill get a RM200 racquet, and hire a personal coach with the rest of the cash from this forum ! laugh.gif

Hello,

I wanna get a new racquet, budget is RM200, maybe close one eye a bit more =P

I'm still sort of learning, been playing on and off for few years but smashes and backhand are weak. I like to play netting and drop shots.

Any recommendations for racquet and strings?

Thanks =)
*
well, i used to ask this, until i got a yonex bg85,or u can sub it for zymax 62

then an apacs racquet thumbup.gif , the lethal series or tantrum 200 for power

for all around = nanospeed 9900

not many will say this, but i like the edgesaber Z slayer ,its very balanced but leaning SLIGHTLY more towards smashing

I have read quite alot of good reviews about nanospeed 9900. Any idea how much is it?
*
err,without strings and grip is about RM90 averagely(most probably lower)

after u add up everything should hit about RM120 i think??

do consider edgesaber Z slayer also

wont very hard to balance..it's thick but not soft until when u stand on it, it will lump in.
when u land after u jump, can feel the softness
even when the shuttle lands, it wont bounce as high as other hard floors
very good shock absorption
*
yup my bad, sorry, its nanoPOWER 9900 , im not sure how it feels compared to yonex, but to me its still good for RM90, very balanced.

well, im a runner , for cushioning , settle for mizuno if you want tongue.gif (but less grip lah..)

never use your nike lunar series , they are not meant for hard stops (it will tear the RM300 pair of shoes)
