By the way, played with my Tantrum 300 and Lethal 70 again last night. This was the first session where I felt I was playing better with the Lethal 70 - I was getting some tremendous power with it! Seriously, I think one smash probably beat the world record! I also felt I was more consistent with it. Anyway, both are great rackets, and I look forward to my next session!

If you can compare them with other good rackets that might be helpful.

I've never tried any of the rackets in that list, but I've tried the Tantrum 300, which is identical to the Tantrum 200 (3U). I would highly recommend the Tantrum 200 (3U) for a power/control game - it's slightly head heavy, moderately stiff, and incredibly stable.

May be you can try VH2000/2020; I think its performance will be close to NS9000S.

One of my female friend tried a Yonex Muscle Power 88 but it is too pricey to get one. So just wondering can I get any similar from Apacs?

i bought them quite cheap for Lethal 90 $70 (AUD) and Lethal 100 $90 (AUD). for these prices, you can't get cheaper than that unless you are willing to pay more for other expensive brands.

Hi, if you want more power then it is recommended to get Apacs Lethal 90. it is so powerful. two of my friends tried my lethal 90 and they bought them straight away.

I think sxg2009 (and myself) was asking more about direct comparisons with other rackets (not the price).

I note that you find the Lethal 90 very powerful. Have you tried the Lethal 60 or Lethal 70? If so, how did it compare for you?

yes, i have got and used the lethal 70. it is really hard and stiff racket so it is easy to get cracked ( i cracked it). since lethal 70 is quite old racket and hard to find so i switched to lethal 90 which is more balanced racket but still give you more power and big hit smash. i read the forum and it said that lethal 70 was the best Apacs racket ever produced. if you can still find and buy lethal 70 racket, it's good on you.

Apacs just released the new lethal 100 and the racket looked like snake skin really cool. i got it too but lethal 70 and 90 still better.

I recently bought a Lethal 70 for $78.4 US. The apacs distributor I bought it from has recently got new stock for it.

With regards to cracking, what string tensions are you using? I've had my Lethal 60 for over a year and played with it regularly. No problems whatsoever at tensions around 26-27 pounds.

Yonex VT80 equivalent to which APACS ____?

that's really a good deal because this racket is hard to find now. i think i have used BG65TI string on it and i has made a good hitting sound but be really careful since the racket is stiff so it's easy to get cracked.

the lethal 90 also give a nice wind hitting sound when you are smashing. this racket is so much cheaper in market than Lethal 70 so it's good reason to buy.

That's really bizarre, because the apacs distributor I know is selling the Lethal 90 at a slightly higher price than the Lethal 70. But yes, from looking around web-sites, the Lethal 90 tends to be cheaper. Just goes to show that the Lethal 70 is still a beast of a racket and still one of the best apacs rackets.

By the way, contrary to your reports, I have always heard that the Lethal 60 and 70 are incredibly solid and stable rackets. From my personal experience, this is completely true. Therefore, I am quite surprised that you think it is an easy racket to crack.

Okay just back from another session. This time, started out with the Lethal 70 and really enjoyed my badminton. Smashing was incredible as usual. Switched to the Tantrum 300 after about an hour and my level went down significantly. Perhaps I was getting tired? This is the second session where I preferred the Lethal 70 over the Tantrum 300. I seriously can't decide which is the better racket. I think overall, I enjoy the Lethal 70 better, since I can get more powerful smashes with the right technique (it's slightly more head heavy and stiff).
