    that is partly true. when i use a 32 lbs its very hard for me to hit as well as when i use 30lbs or 28lbs, this is because the string snap back a lot faster than my swing speed. But when i use lets say 24 lbs, no matter how hard i hit i cant increase the shuttle speed any faster, its because maybe my swing is faster than the string snapping back. As maybe you know pros are ussually use tension of between 30-35lbs, while an amature is suggested to start at 24lbs and as their strength and speed increases so too is the string tension.

    Sorry its a very brief explaination on a bit complex issue, you can find more info at the "string" section i posted many more there.

    For your reference, a male pro ussually use 30 to 35 lbs. I would not recomment anything below 24 for a male starter. But since i assume you have been playing for a long while anything between 26 to 30 lbs is possible

    I just broke one of my racquets today, a Carlton one not Apacs, but an Apacs guy is coming to my uni club with a few tester racquets for us to try. Dunno which one I will get yet, but it's good I get to try the range first

    Yes I already tried it. The frame head is similar like Victor Bravesword 11, it's convenience for drive and smash have a good power.

    Is there any Apacs racket like Victor Bravesword series, that "it cuts through air" and "jack-all-trade but master of none"?

    Thanks for the answer.

    I have a Lethal 70, and I feel that it is quite heavy and not very responsive when defending. (Maybe it's just me...)
    How does Lethal 90 compare to that?

    I am using L11. This rackets is good for attacking but not that great for defending, except for backhand clear shots.
