The Feather Weight X Special (XS) is presented by Apacs as one of the lightest rackets in the world: it weighs only 58 g (8U) and measures 670 mm. Even so, it is very head-heavy, with a balance point at 335 mm, and has a flexible shaft, a combination that gives a slingshot effect and helps generate power with little effort. The frame uses 30T Japanese graphite with a hexagonal throat and IPN, and the shaft is 24T graphite. It accepts up to 28 lbs. It is recommended for players with little arm strength, players with pain, and those who want a very quick reaction.

How the RR Score was calculated
| Criterion | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Specs | 65% | 35 |
| Approval from players | 35% | 71 |
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.
