Version · 9 optionsFeather Weight X IIChange

The Feather Weight X II is one of the lightest rackets in the world: Apacs lists 58 g (±2 g), 8U class. To avoid losing power with so little weight, the balance sits at 335 mm, extremely head-heavy. The High Speed Armor frame with hexagonal throat uses 30-ton Japanese graphite, and the tapered 7.0 to 7.5 mm shaft carries 30-ton graphite with IPN. The shaft is flexible (9.5 on the Apacs scale) and maximum tension is 30 lbs. It is a different racket, which reacts very fast and takes some adaptation to the weight concentrated in the head.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%35
Approval from players35%55

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
