A 4U medium-flex Apacs with a 290 mm balance, sold as an everyday club racket for singles and doubles. It suits improvers and intermediates who want a forgiving swing rather than a stiff, head-heavy smasher.

  • Medium flex gives a forgiving, easy-power feel
  • 38 lb maximum tension is generous for the price
  • Slim aero box frame for quick swings
  • No official Apacs spec sheet found, so specs are retailer-only
  • Retailers disagree on the shaft (7 mm in the tables, 6.4 mm in one write-up)
  • Sold out at both retailers checked on 27 Oct 2026

Where to buy

None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £50.
