Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Apacs Stardom 80II Badminton Racket (Strung) – Red is an all-round badminton racket for intermediate players who want speed, control and reliability in fast rallies. A reinforced Hi Modulus Graphite frame and Armor High Speed design give quick swing response and precise shot placement.
Key Features
- Isometric head frame – equalises main and cross strings to enlarge the sweet spot, improving accuracy on off-centre hits.
- Full Armor High Speed Frame – the Armor frame and distinctive cross-section reduce racket torque and drag for faster, more stable swings.
- Hexagon throat with T-Throat graphite – improves stability and shuttle speed while minimising torsion for consistent direction control.
- Reinforced structure frame – ultra-high-strength construction handles up to 38 lbs string tension with improved stiffness and durability.
- Additional grommets at 2 & 10 o'clock – extra power on impact with a slightly heavier head for more punch on smashes.
- Balanced for all-round play – even balance (288 mm ± 2) and 4U weight (80–84 g) for predictable handling.
- 30T Japan Graphite shaft with CNTs – a strong, responsive shaft with a crisp feel and precise control.
- Mid-speed attacking profile – for players who want a proactive, attacking feel without sacrificing defence.
Performance Overview
The Stardom 80II pairs a light, manoeuvrable frame with a stiff yet forgiving shaft for fast through-the-air speed and stable, accurate shots. The Hexagon throat and T-Throat graphite work together to reduce air resistance and torsion, helping you keep power and precision from the back of the court to the net.
Quick racket-head speed turns into attacking clears and sharp drop shots while keeping control in rapid exchanges. The reinforced frame tolerates higher tensions for a crisper string response, and the even balance gives a reliable feel in both defensive blocks and attacking finishes.
Who Is It For?
Intermediate players looking for good-value all-round performance, particularly those moving towards more attacking play while keeping dependable defence.
