what is the difference between the 3 racket?
Their description seems the same.

1. Tantrum Light Exclusive
2. Lethal Light Special
3. Lethal Light 1.10

so Lethal 6 and 7 is out

With High Speed Frame Technology

faster swinging?

i went to a badminton racquet shop in malaysia (not to mention which one yet) and i find the lethal 50 selling there is not as same as seen in forum here.. which is the t-joint part..

the place where the metal rod is seen at the t-joint is supposed to be concave but the lethal 50 i see is total flat.. the rod is in black in bolour instead of silver.. i secretly took a pic and post here to be discussed and compared. comparing to the lethal that HappyTA5 posted on 11-30-2008, 01:42 PM at the link of http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...ad.php?t=63414

is it fake or there are several type of lethal?

Are you still using lethal 50? So is that you bought is fake or not? BTW how does it feel? Powerful racket?

Anyways, the package for both the t300 and l70 just keep sounding better and better so I will probably end up buying it. Hehe! I am sooo excited! I am using a Carlton Airblade 500 Ti which is an ancient racket and thought it is time for a great upgrade!

I dont know if the T300 is better , but if it is anything as good as the T200 then I would be amaze , sometimes company upgrade the racket and it is not as good as the previous version ...so I am not sure . It is a very good package , because L70 is one of the top racket for singles , and T200 is undoubtedly the best racket on the market for doubles

Thanks sxg2009.

Well luckly I was basing my assumptions off reviews from many other people mainly within this tread. When people asked about buying the T300, others suggested to buy the T200 because it was cheaper, but SLIGHTLY worse. I was not basing it on assuming it was better just from being newer and it has a new name of "300". Another thing is that the T200 is not available to me as the only way I would buy Apacs rackets is through the Canadian/USA website as that is the most reliable way. Also, I think it has discontinued as it is not available through the site? Either way, if it REALLY is "slightly better than the T200" then it would be the most awesome combo as it would combine the best singles racket with the best doubles racket! The only thing I am worried about is the durability as many have said the rackets are not that reliable due to the lesser quality control. Sxg2009 has even just given two of the three rackets he rated a 5/10 for durability. May I ask what went wrong with the rackets?

the T200 is not discontinued. it's available for different market. example, like in Malaysia, we have T200 but not T300 here. the same goes to Lethal. We have L60 but not L70. They are targeted for different region. The nearest place that we can get models not for Malaysia is Singapore. cheers~

I buy rackets from Malaysia because I get good deals from Andrew (including custom stringing). Packaging is also excellent. I would go for T200 + L60 and save money. The minor differences will not matter much.
