    1. How often do you play, how serious are you?
    I play badminton a lot, like a few time almost every week.
    I really like badminton, I'm pretty sure I will play it for life.

    2. What style of player are you? (Aggressive smasher, net player ...)
    I love to smash, I refer smash most of the time- but also a little bit of net drop if needed.

    3. Do you care much about durability or is it all about performance?
    I know the racket doesnt make me a professional player without good skills. I am looking for a racket can last for a long time.

    4. How much money do you want to spend?
    $100

    I am looking a Apacs rackets, I'm interested in
    Tantrum 500
    Vissible Hollow 1800

    If there any other Apacs suggestion, please recommend to me

    Tantrum 500 is good if you are intermediate or n00bish+ level

    OR Save yourself a few BUCKS and get

    APACS Slayer 99 3U

    But Slayer 99 is pretty stiff and kind of heavy for a 3U (~88 +_ 2g)

    You need a powerful arm/wrist to use Slayer 99 to fullest extent.

    I had Lethal 90, but not happy about it because it's light.
    I want a 3U racket to generate the best power possible.
    Im looking for a head heavy, stiff rackets, good for offensive,
    If you know any good brands or racket, please give me recommendation,

    lethal 90 is 3U racket, stiff and even balanced. you just need to get used to it after that you will be good at attacking.

    I thought you have just bought RKEP 9000. Have fun with it first, before you make another purchase..
