If you can get APACS Tantrum 200 under $100, it's the best racket available. It even outclasses some of the top lines from Yonex. Am pretty sure you can get a deal somewhere.
I like this thread, suits me too ... Probably can try the Zelms' PowerPlay or Ultimate rackets which are around S$120 if I remember correctly. But I'm sure can get it 2nd-hand for under S$100. Understand APACS Lethal 70 is also a good all rounded. Perhaps cheaper than Tantrum 200.
I think Zelms's Powerplay isn't better than either of APACS' Tantrum or Lethal. I haven't tried Lethal 70 yet but I hope my newly ordered AT700 4U will be either as powerful or more powerful than it LOL*
bravesword is much more expensive unless you get the lower bravesword line. I think the HL dragon is a great choice for its price. It's fast, solid (more so than my LX858), and quite forgiving. The Panda Power T2 is a great racket as well, it's a very fast racket and provides more than adequate power.
A $100 what? Is "NS" Nova Scotia or New Southwales?? (although that should probably be NSW) ... Panda Power is not a sub $100 I believe ...
I'm in montreal and bought a Black Knight Rapier 865 berylium and I love it. Weighs 85g strung, medium flex, middle ballance (not head heavy or head light, just middle) with iso head. Cost me 69.99 on special. Regular 119.99 (CAD)
