ralph_lee....write a review after using k =D......but the T200 defend is way way better than AMP90.....when holding , it almost like VH1800....but the swim speed is better than VH1800.....

among 3 racket , AMP90 is most heavy and head heavy....

Hmm . . . Maybe I will just end up buying the Tantrum 300 and Lethal 70 separately. I emailed the guy at Apacs Canada, Kam Yau and he said that they took the combo deal off because they were running out of T300s. Getting them separately is only a $20 difference and when I get two rackets coming to a total of over $199 I get free shipping and a free bag. There is really no way I can get T200 or other rackets available to you guys as I do not want to deal with the international shipping as it is quite a hastle, especially if there is some kind of defect with the rackets and I have to send it back. If I could, I would probably also get a T200 as I have heard from sooo many of you guys how awesome that racket is.

they say T300's material is slightly better
maybe some slight improvement in technology (if you believe it)
most of the things are the same

**vctrku** · 03-30-2010, 11:35 AM

Yeah, that is why it does not really bother me that much that I cannot get a T200 in Canada. T300 is even supposed to be better, but who is going to believe that? I am pretty sure they just changed the paint.

hi guys,

are tantrum 200 and lethal 50/60 suitable for a newbie in terms of its stiffness..i currently using tantrum 969(bg85 at 25lbs) for about 3 months now and i like playing offensive.

thanx

HOHOHO, Tantrum 200 is so powerful.
It is really an attacking racket, you will like the smash sound from it.
While attacking and hitting to rear court, you can be very relax on your wrist to generate the power. Straight to the place you want to hit.

As the heavy head, while you are defending from a strong smash. You will need to use more power on your wrist for a flip return. Maybe it takes few games for adjusting it.

Overall, it worth to buy.
I bought it at RM238 with a 6 racket Apacs bag.
Compare to Yonex racket, I think this is call value for money.

newbie? o.O? how long have you been playing? if not long..i suggest you train up and develop your techniques first before buying any rackets. you might regret what racket you bought after you clearly know what you want. no offense dude..just my 2cents

regarding the t200/l60, it is said that t200 is more for doubles and l60 for singles. well i think if you can handle the l60 in doubles, why not? nevertheless, it's still better to have some hands-on before you really buy them. both of the models have good reviews. cheers~

RM238 with string ???? so cheap =.=".....i bought my one racket only RM230...add up string RM257....with bag too

hi guys,
is there any chance Apacs may release the Special Edition Arcsaber 100th All England Championships racket design soon?
Would love to have it! They could call it Apacs Edgesaber 100, but the '100th All England' must be on it. =)

i start playing badminton more often since start working (2 session per week from january until now)..i only have 1 racket since then..skill is quite ok and still improving well..i'm used to 25lbs for now..do you think still early for a new advance racket..tantrum 200 is limited and mostly out of stock in malaysia and i found a seller sell it for 230 + beg w/o string..

i don't think so..ralph bought from okk right? he doesn't have stringing service right?
chongkiatz from arc right? arc's stringing is quite good

no offense but tension doesn't represent skill. it's just how strong your arm is (and urs is not bad). well if u think u nid it, then go for it. 230 + bag is quite a deal. if the seller is arc, you can let him string too. his stringing is not bad.

btw, t200 out of stock means it's a hot model. they will restock, definitely!

I paid RM260 for Tantrum T200 with string and bag. Same for Lethal 50 at RM260. Both are great rackets, well worth the price, highly recommended. If I have bought 3 each, I could easily sell them all here. Well, wait till I go home again next year.

i do agree about it. the thing is i just dono to rate my skill yet

.. i have modified my tantrum 969 by ripping off its original grip and put 1 layer of replacement grip..feel like its slightly headheavy and suddenly after that jump smashing had become my fav move besides drop shots. regarding to the stock many shop/seller said they dont have any news from the distributor regarding to when the new stock is comming. I'm not planning to have so many rackets..two is enough for me..if u could suggest other cheap apacs, that would be highly appriciated
