    just add $60 from the price of arc 10?. Man...is that the genuine arc10 you tried? Arc10 will cost you more than T200 maybe 3 times.

    in brunei apacs is more expensive compared to other countries , whereas yonex is cheaper ...the arc 10 red costs about 210-230 since its an old model whereas the lethal 90 is sold for $190.
    i've already decided to order from ebay my apacs :) save a lot !

    Apacs is expensive here coz they want to give discount. I think it just the RRP price

    Hello! I am new to this forum (this is my first post!), and I was curious what people thought of the Nano Fusion Speed 722 racket? I see a lot of pages here, and I am most confident this racket has been discussed before, but I did not feel like reading over 300 pages to find this info... ;)
    For those wondering, I am an intermediate player at best, I play with a Badminton Club here that does have players that have played in bigger tournaments in the States, as well as the Arctic Winter Games. I play doubles almost exclusively. I have played for a long time, but I just love the sport and have no aspirations of being a pro-level player. But I do like having decent gear. lol. Look forward to hearing what you guys (and gals) have to say!

    Generally any replica made by Apacs isn't as good as its original line. For example the Tantrum 200 is regarded as one of Apacs best rackets. Go to the Apacs website: http://www.apacssports.com/ and research each racket you're interested in and read the specs. You'll notice that most rackets will have the same specifications.

    The thing I like most about the Tantrum 200 is that it's even balanced. The only worry you might have is the stiffness, but you'll get used to it if you play often.

    For example Lethal 60/70 has identical specs, down to the frame type (Armor Power), as the Tweet 8000. So why does the Tweet 8000 cost ~US$20 more? Who knows, lol.

    I have looked at those specs, but I was looking for feedback from those who have actually played with the Nano Speed 722. :)
    My initial thought is that it is the kind of racket me and my level of play (not extremely high, as I mentioned before) is looking for.
    I wanted something lighter with a less head heavy balance, which the NS722 seems to cover. haha

    You can try the foray 300 , it is quite a good all rounder racket actually , except it is quite light to give powerful smashes ..

    I have plenty of arm and wrist strength (drummer and working out, on top of heavy lifting jobs..lol), so I'm not worried about my smashes. I specifically wanted something that offers less wear and tear on my shoulder, so a lighter racket at moderate string tension (23lbs or so?) would work for me. I don't recover as fast from simple injuries, so I'm looking to change things up. My main racket is currently a Carlton Rassmusson Airblade from some years back. I LOVE the racket, but its fairly top heavy, and I feel it! more now. Thank you guys for the input so far!

    What are your guys' opinions on the Slayer 88/99 and the Lethal 70?

    Also how do I tell if an apacs racket is fake?

    Thanks

    Dunno if there are fake imitation apacs rackets... You would probably do well to find one

    I have lethal 70 and it is very good, great power but might hurt your shoulder if you aren't used to stiff head heavy rackets

    Ahhhh...this is what I was wanting to read! I see however this post was from 4 years ago this December, so I am hoping not much has changed in the Nano Fusion Speed 722. But this review still makes me more excited about my recent purchase that I am now awaiting, which happens to be the Nano Fusion Speed 722. Anybody play with this racket more recently that might have something to say about it?

    It seems that the big 3 racquets from Apacs now are T300, L70 and Slayer 99. Has anyone tried all three racquets and wish to write up a small comparison.
