Reviews
Check out my video review of the Dunlop Apex Infinity below. I like this racket and think it’s a very good deal at $99. My teammate Peter also liked it. One thing I forgot to mention in the video: this racket has a listed weight of 115 grams unstrung, but it feels heavier than that, and on my scale it came in at 155 grams strung. I think the strings usually add 15 grams, which would put this closer to 140 weight. In my view this is a good thing — 115 grams would be a bit too light for me personally — but just wanted to point it out.
Have you tried this racket? If so, please leave a review in the comments below!

Hi Pierre,
I’m trying to decide between a Dunlop Apex Infinity and a Dunlop Force Relavation 125. I like to hit hard, but also to put the ball dead in the corner. Since I played table tennis and badminton in the past, I tend to use my wrist in the swing, especially for the back-hand. The 2 rackets seem quite similar to me (except price), so my question is if the difference in practice is noticable. If so, which one would be better for me?
Best regards,
Bart

How does this racket compare to the head graphene cyano 115. Which amongst the two would you recommend.
Pierre says

I think I prefer the Cyano. I believe it’s a little lighter. The Cyano is 157 grams all-in. I don’t have an Apex Infinity here to weigh, but I’m guessing it’s heavier.
The Apex Infinity is a good racket for the price, though.

Thank you for the reply.
According to your review above and comments. The total weight of apex infinity is 155 grams all-in. I am slightly confused as to why you said it is heavier compared to Cyano.
Also, if you comment as to which amongst them is has better control?

Whoops, I didn’t realize I had included the Apex’s weight above. So, apparently they weigh about the same then. I will try to borrow a friend’s Apex Infinity and compare it to the Cyano in the coming days.

Thank you very much.
Can you please send me link of the review here when you do it. Actually I am confused in between them.
i have played with Cyano a bit as a friend owns it. I like it as far as shot power is concerned. About control of drop shots i am a bit skeptical.
Your website is the best one for such comparisons that i came across hence asked the question.
Thank you for replying. Will be looking forward to the comparison between these two rackets

I wasn’t able to hit with the Apex because the strings were broken, but here are a few notes. The frames are quite similarly-shaped. I noticed the Apex has more of the weight in the head, which may be why I thought it was heavier. This should make it a bit slower and steadier through the air. The Apex also has the fan stringing pattern versus a traditional pattern on the Cyano, so I think the Apex will feel a little more powerful.

Thank you Pierre,
i have shortlisted 4 rackets:
1) Prince Pro Beast PowerBite 750
2) Technifibre Carboflex 125
3) Head Cyano
4) Dunlop Apex infinity
I am an intermediate level player. More wristy on backhand.
What do you think is overall a better racket in all of these.
Is it true that prince rackets brake easily?
Thank you
