    newbie? o_O? how long have you been playing? if not long..i suggest you train up and develop your techniques first before buying any rackets. you might regret what racket you bought after you clearly know what you want. no offense dude..just my 2cents

    regarding the t200/l60, it is said that t200 is more for doubles and l60 for singles. well i think if you can handle the l60 in doubles, why not? nevertheless, it's still better to have some hands-on before you really buy them. both of the models have good reviews. cheers~

    hi guys,
    is there any chance Apacs may release the Special Edition Arcsaber 100th All England Championships racket design soon?
    Would love to have it! They could call it Apacs Edgesaber 100, but the '100th All England' must be on it. =)

    no offense but tension doesn't represent skill. it's just how strong your arm is (and urs is not bad). well if u think u nid it, then go for it. 230 + bag is quite a deal. if the seller is arc, you can let him string too. his stringing is not bad.

    btw, t200 out of stock means it's a hot model. they will restock, definitely!

    I paid RM260 for Tantrum T200 with string and bag. Same for Lethal 50 at RM260. Both are great rackets, well worth the price, highly recommended. If I have bought 3 each, I could easily sell them all here. Well, wait till I go home again next year.

    i do agree about it. the thing is i just dono to rate my skill yet :rolleyes:.. i have modified my tantrum 969 by ripping off its original grip and put 1 layer of replacement grip..feel like its slightly headheavy and suddenly after that jump smashing had become my fav move besides drop shots. regarding to the stock many shop/seller said they dont have any news from the distributor regarding to when the new stock is comming. I'm not planning to have so many rackets..two is enough for me..if u could suggest other cheap apacs, that would be highly appriciated

    that would make the racket slightly head heavier as the weight at the handle is lessen. the overall weight of the racket would also lessen. if you like smashing, you can add some lead tape or athletic tape at the top frame to make it more head heavy. that would add a little bit more weight to compensate the taken-out original grip. it's like switching the weight to another place. try and let us know the difference :p

    Is this the first racket that you have bought? and do we need to be skilled enough to earn as tantrum 200 holder..I heard a lot about this racket and makes me want to get 1 since i only got 1 racket..i play doubles

    Hey,
    I would suggest you play with more different people.
    Then you will know how good you are.
    Keep playing with same group of people, you might be the best in the team as you all knows each other move and habit.

    Try outside, know more friends.
    You may even get to try more different types of rackets before you decide to buy any. :)

    Quite difficult to find Tantrum 200, right? Many places out of stock. But recently I noticed that it is available on eBay. New stock arrived? If so, hurry grab those....I think should be very limited.
