Really like my Tantrum 200 and Lethal 60 and 70. They seem to be so rare now and are really hard to find. What are their replacements? Thx
I'm struggle with the decision of whether or not to buy tweet 8000... Is it a good racket? Any suggestion?
Do they actually exist? Wow...!! I'll search them up. Haven't been following Apacs for a long time but seeing how Yonex rackets are so fragile these days, can't wait to find good alternatives.
Yes they exist. I have T200 II and lethal 60 II and they both are a pretty good racket with a solid feel. But from other review, i think that you will find T200 II and Lethal 60 II is different than the old one. Some people give a review that T200II have a same feeling like an old one but have a faster swing speed. And there is a suggestion to buy lethal 110 as a replacement for T200 first gen as they have a same character. You could confirmed it by yourself once you have bought it. And please do me a favor to give a comparison review.
I will be getting a pair of lethal 10 this week, anyone who has an in depth review of lethal 10? or anyone who uses them? thanks
I just had a session playing with a demo Tantrum 200ii strung with nanogy 98, and I've got to say... Wow! Very nice. Had to get used to even balance after using head heavy rackets for a long time. But swing is so fast and responsive. Defence is very good. Managed to do drive defences so easily even when slightly late when retrieving. Got much better angles with smashing too. However, I'm also keen on comparing it with the Victor Jetspeed 10. @Carbonex7, what's your thoughts? I know u use your Js10 more than T200ii. Anyone else tried both rackets?

JS10 is slightly better than T200II in almost every aspect except durability. My JS10 is on Lining#1 string, the most repulsive string I ever play, and T200II is on G-tone 5，very repulsive but a tiny bit of vibration can be felt on smashing, so hit feeling is different. I think T200II can be better on NGY98, got to try that next. JS 10 frame size is slightly smaller so it is not user friendly for beginners. Shaft stiffness is quite similar in comparison. JS series 10 and 12 have grommet holes sinking issues particularly on 4U rackets so it is recommended to install a 10 holes continuous grommets on top of the frame. I am using 3U on 27lb, so far so good, but i will add continuous grommets also on next restring. The price I paid for JS10 is 3x more than T200II so whether the extra cost justify for slightly better performance is debatable. I chose to get JS10 while my double partner bought additional 3 T200II and looks like he got a better deal.
JS10 is basically an AVP on steroid. swing speed almost the same just beefer, need small adjustment on frame size and shaft stiffness.
The new T200II looks so cool, I wish there is a red color version. Looks like it is going to put a hole in my pocket again.
So far I saw the blue Tantrum 200 II available only at Sportshorizon: http://sportshorizon.com/products/badminton-rackets/apacs/apacs-tantrum-200-ii-blue.html. I was kind of surprised too that they have re-stocked on the original Tantrum 200.
malaysia i believe. lazada in particular as they always have some incredibly reduced prices on their apacs rackets. Just don't go for the badmintonbay offers. http://www.lazada.com.my/badminton/apacs/
Wow, very attractive price. I'm planned to order racket in bulk for my club, its about 50pcs. Its possible if i order to apacs malaysia?
I supposed so. They deliver worldwide. But it may depend on the availability of the model of racket you plan to order, if they have that much in stock. But you can try it. just like I said, avoid badmintonbay. Their prices are ridiculously too much.
