    FW200, FW500 all same weight after putting grip, nothing to shout about besides light and easy swing, good for bad elbow and kids.

    This racket is about the same price as Tantrum 200/300/500. Retail should be around RM 330.

    We have a few Honors on their way, 200, 800 Etra, not too sure about 500 and 800, will share the review after I got my hand on them.

    Will it be available in the regular shops or only from limited stores like the tantrum x?

    he means there website/online store, which does not allow to select international shipping as well :) so yea if you would like to order racket you write them message in FB, they write you price (and you get it very different (much higher) even without posting if you are not from malaysia :) )

    I was googling about this Zxion thing and can't seem to find any reference on it. I'm just curious about this material or technology that APACs claims on their honor series. Somehow I'm thinking if it could've been just a spelling mistake just like the ETRA power:D

    victor tk9900 uses zxion and it definitely makes the racket feel different than any other racket I've used. Every shot feels really bouncy, but not sure if the overall speed of smash is actually improved or not

    Lets wait for the words of wisdom from @Carbonex_7 about zxion, etra power and all bounciness hope he will try them soon, meantime since I sold one of my blend pro's I will get blend pro power plus. just the deal is too good on directsportshop....

    Regarding tantrum x.

    I understand that apacs never made tantrum 300 available in malaysia because tantrum 200 already here.

    But whats with tantrum x?
    Clearly its not tantrum 200 though the cosmetic is same.

    Or is it come with different name in malaysia

    It's not, I believe. Clearly TX has different specs compared to T200 II. It also boasts of a supposedly stronger frame material 40T compared to 30T of T200 II.

    Apacs have a few rackets which are good in smashing, u can go through this thread for some of the recommendation. But from.my own experience, Tantrum 200 is one of the best offensive racket from apacs especially in doubles.

    The first gen is better but nowadays they are hard to find. So u might want to try t200ii.
