Couldn't load pickup availability
The Apacs Hard Hitter Speed is an intermediate-level, slightly head-heavy badminton racket for players who value speed, sharp execution and quick handling, with a balance of power and control. It has an Aero Dynamic-Wide Body frame, a DuraMax Carbon shaft and a 6.4mm super-slim shaft diameter. Our racket stringing service can string it for you.
Who it is for
The Hard Hitter Speed suits intermediate players and quick attackers who thrive on speed and precision, in both back court drives and net play. It is a good choice if you want fast handling without losing touch or control.
How it plays
- Fast, crisp shots: the light 4U body (about 84g) and a slightly head-heavy balance (295mm) help produce faster swings and sharper shots.
- Balance of power and control: a medium (8.5) flex gives power without losing control.
- Reduced air resistance: the Aero Dynamic-Wide Body frame gives a solid hitting feel and a quick swing.
- Strength and durability: the DuraMax Carbon shaft adds strength and supports string tension up to 38 lbs.
- Two balance options: the sheet lists a slightly head-heavy version (295mm) and an even-balance version (285mm), so choose the feel that suits your game.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the Apacs Hard Hitter Speed best for?
Intermediate players and quick attackers who want fast handling, sharp shots and good control.
What do 4U, balance point and medium flex mean?
4U is a lighter weight class, about 84g. Slightly head-heavy means a little more weight sits toward the head, adding power and speed to shots, while even balance gives quicker, more neutral handling. An 8.5 medium flex gives a comfortable response with good control.
What is the maximum string tension?
According to the manufacturer's specification sheet, the maximum is 38 lbs (17.2 kg) for the version with a 295 ±2mm balance point and 35 lbs (15.9 kg) for the version with a 285 ±2mm balance point. If you are not sure which you have, stay at 35 lbs or below to protect the frame.
