    Looks like Apacs now start to clone other brand. And the latest one is Apacs Finapi 80, which is [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]very similar to Victor Meteor X80 racke[/FONT]t.
    Anyone tried this model before?

    how come i thought that tantrum 300 is quite light racket?. you haven't used the lethal 90 racket which is heavier.

    T200 spec said it is head heavy but i think it's only slightly head heavy. not too heavy. I'm looking forward to try high end lethal series in the future.

    I have been using VH1800 for almost 2 years now. Looking for an UPGRADE. Any suggestion?
    Don't want it to be too stiff but still offer the same shock absorption as VH1800. Please... not VH2000... Prefer other series... :)

    How about T200/300? Will it be too stiff?
    Slayer 99? Lethal 99/100?

    yeah, you should try lethal 90. this racket has a powerful swinging sound but make sure don't overgrip the racket otherwise it will get heavy.

    i think the raket Tantrum 200/300 and lethal 70 &90 are recommended as they are good and stiff rackets. if you want heavier and stiffer racket, try lethal 100 or slayer 99 but make sure you have a strong shoulder and arm.

    After comparing the Lethal 60 and 70.. The 60 leans towards even balance and it feels lighter than the 70. Tell me how the VS 2000 feels. =)

    I don't blame you for ordering another Lethal 60. Such a fast, powerful racket! Having used it for a while, I don't feel like ever going back to my Tantrum 200 :p

    Apacs has a wide range of rackets. No doubt they are quite good. But I am unable to get much official info about the rackets and the series. The only 2 methods I use is to learn about the YY rackets and search for the Apacs equivalent, or try to get reviews from you guys.

    But the problem is by the time I decide on the racket that I want to get, and go to the racket shop Even more new apacs rackets appear on at the shop, then I become utterly confused like the other customers trying to read the small print of the racket print descriptions and keep swotting the rackets up and down repeatedly. And then usually do not get the racket I was looking for in the first place.

    Do they have a website that tells you which ones are their latest rackets and are woven.. etc?

    Actually the Lethal 60 and 70 are identical - they just have different paint-jobs. I've got both too and don't observe any noticeable differences between them. They are both great rackets.

    There will be an official website but is still under contruction for a looooong time now. I sent several mails to the webmaster/responsable of the website and each time he tells me that they will launch shortly.

    The website is http://www.apacssports.com/ It index page looks very nice...

    Yes, Kingskawn, the website looks nice, but I do wish that Apacs would update their website. Even if they do not want to do so, they could at least post a electronic catalogue like the YY brand.

    Could it be their racket models are so prolific that the company has no time to photograph yet alone to write up or even market all the numerous models that they are producing at the same time? Well users of this brand are spoiled for choice :)
