Zig Zag Speed III (Prime) is an entry-level 4U (about 84 g) racket in the Apacs Zig Zag range with an even balance (285 mm) and a medium-flex shaft. Favours quick hands: drives, blocks and net play.
- Even balance makes it quick and easy to control at the net and in drives
- Medium flex is forgiving yet still responsive
- Low price for a graphite frame
- Basic finish and fewer shaft/frame technologies than the pro lines
- Mid-range materials give a less refined feel than pro-level frames
- Specs come from retailer listings, not an independent test
Where to buy
