As I undertand, T300 is not for Malaysia. T200 is RM230 without string and grip but come with a 6-racket bag.
the name is nice but according to my stringer, it's a balanced racket maybe slightly head heavy..bp 285+-5 it may sound new in malaysia but the news of it can be found on INA forums i googled
senjie u can get the tantrum 300 for $120 at smashsports @ eastpoint simei. i just came back from there.

and here is retailing for around RM400 like i said in earlier post, i rather get a Victor BS09 with that price...woot~~
Why is that? Because APACS has been delivering good cheap rackets and that makes their higher end rackets not worth the money?
i kinda lost confidence in Apacs..well not all but quite some part i still think it's slightly below par compared to other giants like yy and victor although i will still like to try it's lethal and vh series, i would only buy them for the sake of testing..perhaps they might reach my main rackets range
what rackets u used that make u lose confidence in apacs? i find that the L70 and tantrum 300 is ok, but the vh 2020 abit of a let down... Some of the copies that i tried, the vibrations are quite bad. and i agree with you .. if i have to pay 400 rm for a apacs i rather buy other brands.
i've not used or touched a lot of apacs but i've seen & touched - a head light lethal 50 (grip is small) - a 3U T200 which feels like 2u (grip is not very big - this is a beast, 2u + head heavy) - a nano 900 p white that is still head heavier than mine altho the grip is bulkier than my unit (no tapes at the frame) i'm not saying that apacs is not good and discourage other potential buyers to get it but i've met bad experiences with it..strictly personal the next time i buy an apacs, i will ask my seller to bring me few units of the same model..just in case although i'm not that into apacs anymore but i still believe that they will do better in the future and will look forward to try a lethal n vh
i have nothing against you losing confidence in apacs , just that i am curious to know what happened to you and the apacs rackets . APACs already has enough praises, so i was waiting to hear some downsides of the brand. from what i know , they really have consistency problems , some of them their weight are off , some balance off. the headlight lethal 50 is really a big booboo though!
consistency is a big problem of Apacs. But if you are buying those less than RM250, i would say buy and try lo. Maybe they really need to have better QC.
Really? It is different story than mine. I've tested before Yonex Carbonex30ms & Armotec900power. But now, in love with Lethal 50 & Tantrum 200. All good review about these racket are true i.m.o. I prefer Lethal 50 during single. I can get powerful smash, accurate cross court smash, easy base to base line clear. Defence also really easy with this racket. I also posted earlier several pictures here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1415533#post1415533
I have the same identical rackets as you. Word for word, I agree and could repeat the same comments as you above. I use the Lethal 50 and the T200 for my wife. Only regret is I wish I have bought 2 more when I was in KL in Feb 2010.
Free string provided by the seller, Ashaway on the Tantrum & Apacs string on the Lethal....Already satisfy and power is there. I think, will be much better with high end Yonex string like BG98, BG80...may be...I will try them once there are broken. I've tested BG66sharp, bg66maxima, bg80....so varius and easy to get here in Japan
