Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Apacs Feather Weight 500 badminton racket (unstrung) is an ultra-light 7U frame for intermediate to advanced players who want speed, precision and agile handling in fast rallies. Its feather-light profile favours rapid reactions and easy swings, making it well suited to doubles and tight net exchanges. This version is in Grey.
Key Features
- Ultra-lightweight 7U frame (67–68 g) – one of the lightest rackets available, for very fast swing speed and quick recovery between shots.
- High-modulus graphite / carbon nanotube construction – light agility with durability for consistent performance in demanding play.
- Even to head-heavy balance – combines speed with power for precise net play and confident smash set-up.
- Medium shaft flex – a balance between control and power that rewards sound technique.
- Aerodynamic frame – a slim, streamlined profile reduces air resistance for a faster swing tempo and quicker reactions.
- High-tension ready – takes string tensions up to 30 lbs for control and precision in aggressive play.
- Taiwan origin – built with Apacs’ reputation for precision and reliable performance.
Performance Overview
The Feather Weight 500 is at its best in fast exchanges. The ultra-light frame accelerates through clears, drives and pushes to the net, while the medium-flex shaft gives the feedback you need for delicate drop shots and accurate net kills. Low drag lets you keep an aggressive pace in doubles and still play controlled, precise shots in singles. The light feel means less swing fatigue and quicker reflexes over long rallies, and the even to head-heavy balance still gives meaningful power on clears and smashes without losing touch at the net and in tight corners.
Who Is It For?
Intermediate to advanced players who rely on speed and precision – particularly fast-paced doubles players – and who want an attacking-ready racket that still offers control in singles.
