    logically, apacs racket is very cheap.. so i think no other company have appetite to clone they racket.. coz apacs racket already the clone one.. hahaha.. but not sure if some racket don't have super brand logo on it.. but all mine have it.. about error on warning, just consider it from old batch.. all old apacs racket line has crap warning.. and since T200 completely stop producing, just think it a old stock with some error..

    Yes, that is common with the old stock - bad grammar! I wouldn't worry about it.

    By the way, I've just completed an order for a Lethal 70 + Tantrum 300 for $156 US dollars all up, including delivery. Good deal right? I should be getting them within a couple of days. I know several people were keen on hearing what I thought about the Tantrum 300, so I'll post a brief review soon.

    Thanks alot guys. The grammar mistakes really did bother me to the max. Guess I could chill now and just smash without worrying about the durability :D

    Can't wait to test my t200 later hehehehe.

    How much did you pay for your T200 in US dollars? Thanks.

    I'm going to order the Tantrum 200, Visible Hollow 2000 and Lethal 60 because I already have the Lethal 60 and it's a very good racket but when the strings are broke I don't have a second like that. Only Carlton and Yonex (low level).

    I'd recommend the Lethal 70, but you may have to pay around SGD90-100 for it.

    I think the Lethal 60 will be extremely hard to buy now, as I'm pretty sure Apacs stopped making it. I personally own one too, and it's amazing. Anyway, you'll probably have to get a Lethal 70, which is essentially identical to the 60.

    By the way, why not get the Tantrum 300?

    Tantrum 300 is identical to the 200 except the colour is different.

    As for the Lethal 70, what is the lowest price I could get for? The Lethal 60 is around US$95

    Actually, from my extensive reading on the web, I think the Tantrum 300 is designed differently - it is made via a "vacuum intensive method", and therefore is heavier than the Tantrum 200. I think the Tantrum 200 weight is more towards 86g, while the Tantrum 300 is more towards 90g. Also, many say that the Tantrum 300 is more head heavy than the Tantrum 200, but that may simply be because the Tantrum 300 is generally a heavier racket.

    By the way, I just purchased a Lethal 70 for about US$78. I may reveal my source once I get it.

    They are same. I read the same thing about T200. The one that I have is 89-90 gram, feels head heavy w/o the PU and very stable racket. total weight with a PU grip is 106.7gm. It is just something about marketing...

    The T200 feels really solid. Though it's kind of heavy, the control is awesome.

    I see, well I can understand the marketing aspect I suppose. By the way, how much did you buy your T200 for? I just got a T300 for about US$78 (same price as the Lethal 70). Should be arriving soon!
