Version · 9 optionsFeather Weight 55Change
The Feather Weight 55 is one of Apacs's ultralight rackets, at 58 g (±2 g), 8U class. To give 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 uses 24-ton graphite. The shaft is flexible (9.5 on the Apacs scale), the frame has 72 holes and maximum tension is 30 lbs. It is for those who want maximum lightness and quick reaction and accept getting used to the heavy head.

How the RR Score was calculated
| Criterion | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Specs | 65% | 35 |
| Approval from players | 35% | 65 |
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.
