    My current racquet (Yonex Isometric 30VF) is not enough for me anymore. The racquet cannot generate enough power for smashes, and is too flexible for my liking.

    I play for around 45 minutes almost everyday and play both singles and doubles.
    My budget is around $100 cad and so far, I'm looking at some Apacs racquets.
    I want something that is both durable, and performs well.

    I am looking for
    -A balanced package (I do a wide range of shots including net shots, drop shots, drives, smashes, and clears-Yes, i'm a technical player)
    -Something that's not too head heavy (I can return most shots except for smashes, I cannot adjust fast enough to return fast smashes)
    -Responsive

    So far, my current choices are Apacs Lethal 70, Furious 767, and Tantrum 300.

    Well, if you can wait a week I've got a Lethal 70 and Tantram 300 on the way and a friend has a Furious 767.

    Maybe someone else on here has all three that can give you a review otherwise.

    well, apacscanada is running a buy 1 nano 900 power, get the other version free thing apparently. test both. IMO, the red is not too head heavy or stiff, but it feels kinda, off.

    Yep, only the 900's. Order the Red version and get the white version free. Not a bad deal considering it works out to $45 per racket. About the same as you'd pay for the bad ebay yonex clones anyway.

    It's a great deal. I got my racquets today. They look really nice. They are almost all sold out though. So act fast.
