    Hi there,

    I've been using an AT700, but I feel like trying out some other racket. One that came to my mind is the APACS Lethal 70. But I am wondering if it will be hard to switch from an AT700 to a Lethal 70. because the Lethal 70 is more Head Heavy(I believe) and more stiff than the AT700 am I right?
    So do you think I would have a hard time adapting to a Lethal 70?
    If so I might try a Tantrum 300 instead.

    Thanks for your thoughts
    Mike

    it also depends on the Weight classes of the rackets specified.
    I find the 4U AT700 to be awesome, just not my true cup of tea.

    i,ve never used at700. but from the one time i held an at700, my lethal 70 is less head heavy. not sure about stiffness. letahl 50 works better for me (awesome singles racket).

    I got a 3U AT700 and would be planning to buy a 3U Lethal 70. So how do you think those would compare in terms of stiffness, head heavy"ness"?

    If you want to compare head heaviness, just measure the balance point (bp). Bigger bp means more head heavy. Measure the racket in empty condition (no string, original grip).
    Stiffness?? just swing it & you will feel the stiffness.
