The Stern 90 Offensive is an ultralight attacking racket from Apacs. According to the official spec sheet, it weighs 78 g (±2 g, 6U class), has balance at 290 mm, slightly head-heavy, and flex 9.0 on the brand's scale, which corresponds to a medium shaft. The frame uses 30-ton Japanese graphite in the Armor Power shape and the 7.5 mm shaft uses 24-ton graphite. Maximum tension is 30 lbs. On Amazon Brazil, buyers praise the balance and the strength in the smash and one of them reports that theirs weighed in at the 5U range. It is for those who want to attack with a very light racket.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%45
Approval from players35%62

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.
