Balance determines whether your racket is head heavy, even or head light.
Flexibility ranges from 0 – 100%, the higher the percentage, the chance of generating power in your shot.
Total Weight is the unstrung weight of the racket as measured by Yonex Precision Scan. Heavier rackets generate more power.
Swing Weight is measured by the swinging of the racket at a specific speed. A lighter swing weight can lead to more control.
Performance Swing Weight considers the weight, balance and swing weight to give you an effective estimate of the power behind your racket.

The Apacs Feather Weight 55 8U badminton racket (unstrung) is built for speed and precision in attack. At just 61g it gives very fast swing-throughs and excellent manoeuvrability, ideal for fast, hard-hitting rallies in doubles or singles.
Key Features
- Ultra-lightweight design (61g) – recognised as one of the lightest rackets in the world, for rapid recovery, quicker reactions and effortless acceleration in aggressive play.
- Isometric head frame – enlarges the sweet spot by equalising main and cross string lengths, for consistent accuracy on off-centre hits.
- Hexagon Throat – integrates with a built-in T-Throat Graphite to double structural stability, reduce air resistance and keep shots stable on powerful smashes.
- High Modulus IPN technology – Inter Penetration Networks combine premium materials for a smoother touch, enhanced durability and reliable performance over long sessions.
- Armor High Speed Frame (AHSF) – minimises torque on hard contact, while the aerodynamic hexagon shape reduces drag for faster, more precise swings and smashes.
- Attack-optimised balance – a slightly head-heavy design paired with a flexible, slim shaft supports powerful shots without sacrificing control.
- Premium frame construction – 30T Japan High Modulus Graphite used with IPN technology for durable, responsive performance.
Performance Overview
The Feather Weight 55 combines an ultra-light frame with an ISOMETRIC sweet spot and a hexagonal throat to deliver precise, stable shots under pressure. The Armor High Speed Frame reduces unwanted twisting on hard hits, and the IPN-constructed graphite gives long-lasting resilience. It shines in tight exchanges and the rapid net-to-backcourt transitions of attacking doubles. For aggressive players it translates speed into control – faster reflexes, quicker transitions and more confident smashing – while the light feel minimises fatigue in long rallies and the balance and frame geometry keep shots accurate from deep defence to attack. Players notice steadier handling on fast drives and sharper finishing smashes with less effort.
Who Is It For?
Fast, attacking players who rely on speed and power and value rapid reactions, particularly in doubles.
