    Hi All,

    Just wondering which APACs racquet can be crowned as the stiffest one up-to-date? Care to recommend? Just seeking a APACs to try out.

    Did try a NPro9800 and 9900 years ago (was claimed as the stiffest back in those days). However, the 9800 was snapped during a smash on frame, lasting only 15 minutes (Strung to 30 lbs). While 9900 had the same fate as well. This was the warranty replacement for 9800. Since both of the top snapped during smash (no clashes involve) under less than 30 minutes trial out, I decided to move on. As a result....

    Till now, heard some praises on Lethal and Tantrum series. Hence wanna give APACs another go to see if they are better since then.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    Albert

    Wow...I think you're gonna love your new Tantrum 200. Have owned one myself and now I'm just wondering which APACS racket is worthy to buy LOL*

    I saw APACS Lethal 85 today ~ ! Now APACS should have a scale of racket segmentation for the customers, otherwise bit confusing.

    It took longer time for me to get used to T200 at 25lbs. After that I had new problems of joint pains - I am blaming the T200 because other factors did not change much. In contrast VH1700 at 25lbs ( I guess this is similar to VH2000) is easy to use. I am back with VH1700 again. May be low string tension will help for T200.

    I just got the Apacs Lethal 11 from Honly (JB) at around RM140 with string and grip. Initially, I thought I got a wrong racket as it is very light, though it's a 4U. However, I beginning to like it as it's produces sharp smashes and fast maneuverable. I tried it for singles and doubles and my take is, this is a good affordable racket for offensive players. I love the whipping sound it produced.
    Im wondering how's the 'Lethal 7 offensive' fared ? That's heavier and a new model.

    Agree on the T200 takes longer time getting used to. I am fortunate enough that I never suffered from joint pains. I also had mine strung @ 25lbs which suits me just fine.

    Anyways T200 is very solid and its hard to get some other racket at that price with that much solid feeling.

    What do you think is the likely culprit when one start to develop pain at elbow? Too high tension string or too stiff racket?

    Lethal 100 and Slayer 99 is currently APACS most expensive rackets...I manage to hold both rackets at a pros hop in KL...both of them felt almost the same tho' Lethal 100 is more head heavy....both didn't shy away from showing their graphite weaving on the entire racket (i presume to justify the price) and both have the muscle power frame position at 12, 5 and 7....and both very expensive!!! for APACS racket that is RM380 for Lethal 100 and RM345 for Slayer 99

    The lethal100, Slayer99, lurid power 21, 22, 23 just reached my online store today.

    Looking forward to try it out.:D

    The lurid power bp can be adjusted by its buttcap weight. Very innovative.:D

    owner sports shop told me another design, another factory made it.. apacs just paid to factory in China to make a racket for them.. not a single factory.. many factories.. main important, different QC from different factory.. that what he told me.. after thinking, its quite true.. i buy power concept 998 2 years ago.. and i buy z-spark last week.. same handle butt.. its a same batch?? i dont think so..
