    it is indeed a sharp looking racket..i like the color scheme
    it has the same stiffness rating with T200
    so i guess they have similar flex
    flex number on T200 is 7.5-8.0 which for apacs is extra stiff
    apacs rate 8.0-8.5 as stiff but i feel that it's only mid stiff

    Ok so I ordered the VH2000 and T200. I have the L60 at the moment which I'm very satisfied but I want to know how the T200 plays because of all the positive reactions on that racket

    L60 is good for singles and I think it's a bit heavy for doubles. T200 is good for doubles. It's a good all-around racket but for singles, it might not pack the punch as L60.

    why don't you just wait and tell us what you feel? :D:D
    the head heaviness should be quite different

    Good luck on your order, kingskawn! From previous reviews, it's a 50-50 chance of getting a good service fromt his eBay seller. When you do get your T200, I'm pretty sure you'll love the racket :)

    Well I ordered in the past from him and I had a fast service. Nothing to blame but I looked on this forum and saw some negative comment on him. I hope I'll have my rackets without trouble.
    I'm sure he is selling good on eBay and that he therefor sometimes cannot fullfil the demand as he should.

    I'm confident :)

    Yeah, I ordered twice from him as well. He did a pretty good job on those. Then when I tried to order for the 3rd time, he was kinda rude in his replies. That had me thought twice about ordering from him LOL*

    APACS Rackets from Racket-Sports

    I placed order many times. I bought ~ 18 APACS rackets from Racket Sports (for me and for my colleagues and fellow players). So far no complains. I get the best price for APACS Rackets from him. Recently I placed order again and I am confident too.

    Id say im a beginner/intermediate player, looking to upgrade from my flexible racket so something stiffer (played with YY stiff just fine).

    Play singles and doubles, not developed into attacking or defensive although would definitely prefer to be attacking the other player than just taking their hard shots. Want a racket thats easier to hit further, still ok for doubles.

    Not sure between Nano 900 Power Red/White, Lethal 50/70/90, Tantrum 200/300

    Thanks, from experience? Very difficult buying a racket blind but no where to demo around here!
    People seem to say Lethal 70 is slightly head heavier than Tantrum 200 but not much difference. And I know Nano 900 Red is head heavier but somewhat lower down than the Lethal 70.

    Hi,
    I'm playing badminton with Nano 900 power now. It's quite good at attacking and defensing. Good attacking due to head heavy while defensing is because of 4U weight balance which is lighter than YY 3U and heavier than YY 4U. It's suitable for beginner/intermediate player.
    Nano 900power almost upgrades me from lower intermediate to higher intermediate. It's truth.
    Btw, if u r powerful enough, u can try Nano900 Tech. It's said Nano900T is head heavier than Nano900P.
    As for Lethal 70, I just try on my friend's one for a while, no commence.
    Actually there is no best racket but most suitable one for yourself. Nano 900 power is suitable for most of people, some of my friends all use it, I think u also can try it.

    I won my first tournament with the Lethal60 a year ago and it's a very good racket. Now I'm waiting for the T200 and VH2000 to see how these play
    I heard alot of good things so I'm curious

    I'm waiting for them to make a 45LB tension tantrum lol. Really i should just get a Tantrum, but the 45lb tension marketing gimmick really gets me.. For 1 i don't understand why 1 can take 10 lb more tension. reading from spec its just the titanium added ? for something to go from 30 or 35 to 45 lb tension is almost a doubling of the strength even though the result is just 30% increase.

    And to go into more detail the lethal 70 i hear is in 4U, while tantrum is 3U.. so i think it can be done with the technology now.. just not sure how a balanced lethal would play and maybe surpass the current tantrum even?

    N900P Red and White is of the same balance and head heaviness..the only difference (which i'm not even sure if it's true) is the frame, box and aero.
    even if 1 of them is head heavier, then it should be N900P Red since it clones the YY AT900P.
    N900P is really a good clone from Apacs. but too bad they only come in 4u. if they're in 3u, they would be even more powerful.
    the 45lbs tension is another way of saying that it has a very strong frame. i guess very little people can play with over 35lbs.
    a 4u Lethal is like YY JP coded products in Malaysia..rare gem. lol
