    Hi, I have about a $100 budget (give or take), and am looking to buy a racket that retails for $100 and above. (Eg. I am not looking for a $20 steel racket but a good racket with which I can play competitively and improve my skills quickly).

    About myself, I'd say my playing is about power over speed when it comes to smashing, so I guess I'm looking for a lighter racket, with preferably a stiffer flex and slightly head heavy. However, I am really open to any suggestions and offers and will look at them all equally. I live in Scarborough but am willing to travel around the GTA to some extent. Local only is preferred.

    Thank you very much! Respond to this thread or email me at CameronA-@hotmail.com :)

    I am selling an Apacs Tantrum 300 for $110. Retails for $110 + $20 strings + tax + shipping from apacscanada.com

    My racket is around 9.5/10 in terms of condition, only played 1-2 times. Strung with BG80 at 24lbs.

    Check out reviews on the equipment section, it's highly ranked as one of the best rackets on the market.

    Cheers,

    AX

    Thanks. I am going away for the weekend but will get back to you Monday. How was the play of the racket when you used it?

    It was excellent, extremely powerful and mobile. But I found another racket that I will be sticking to for a while, so I'm clearing all my other inventory and buying a few more copies of that racket for backup.

    Ok, thanks a lot. It says you're from Oakville. Would you be able to meet me in Toronto if I were to purchase the racket?

    Hey I'm selling a SOTX Woven 11 (strung with Gosen R4x100@27lbs) for 80$ if you are interested.

    It is in near mint condition and retails for 155$ at MJStrings. Its barely been used and has just been sitting in my bag.
