    NANO 9900 POWER at >26lbs is awesome for any kind of double games. It is also very cheap.

    Slightly less stiff than NANO 9900. It has longer grip than my other APACS rackets.
    I never used NANO 900 POWER.

    You are right. I wrote it incorrect. Nano 9900 power is stiffer than Nano 9900.

    I was at the new outlet in Northstar a couple of days ago. I thought I saw one new racket, but did not managed to speak to the staff as she was busy attending to someone else.

    Anyone knows about any new and upcoming rackets from APACS?

    Lethal 6

    Just got Lethal 6 from racquet_sports. Let see if it can beat Tantrum Light (I fixed the broken grip of TLE by epoxy glue).

    Just tried out the T300 and I have to say it is the same as the T200 with a different paint job, specs/playability exactly the same, if the T300 uses a slightly different composition , I can hardly tell . The T200 is such a great racket and superb in every department , I dont think it needed to be improve.

    T200 = T300

    anyone know whether apacs have any stiff oval frame rackets that is within the 4U weight range? Thinking to try out some oval frame rackets, but I think 4U is pretty difficult to find.

    Compare Lethal 7, Lethal 90, Tantrum 200, Stern 100

    I've recently started playing Badminton again after about 20 years, my old rackets were Kennex 858s that were looking the worst for ware and needed restringing.
    Instead of getting my old rackets restrung I decided to treat myself to some new rackets.

    I initially bought a two racket special deal which included an Apacs Stern 100 and an Apacs Lethal 7.

    As expected the Stern 100 played very similar to my Kennex 858s - a good all round racket.

    The Lethal 7 was a great suprise being very fast and powerful. Using the Lethal 7 my backhand power improved tremendously with no extra effort.

    Very Impressed with these rackets I decided to try the high end rackets i.e. Tantrum 200 and Lethal 90.

    I was a little disappointed by the Lethal 90 it looks and plays like a slower/heavier version of the Lethal 7 - on the other hand it has more control and is a lot more stable.

    The Tantrum 200 is my racket of choice it gives excelent control, is very stable and can generate a good deal of power.

    Note these are my opinions after 6-8 games with each racket (I reserve the right to change my mind in the future), the rackets were strung as follows:

    Stern 100 - Yonex BG80 at 23 pounds
    Lethal 7 - Apacs Stern 9 at 24 pounds
    Lethal 90 - Yonex BG80 at 25 pounds
    Tantrum 200 - Yonex BG80 at 23 pounds

    Here is how I rate each racket:
