    Hi gaiijin11,

    Sorry for the late post.

    Just order 2 after trying out a friend racket. These are MY views and should not be taken as Gospel. Though his grip size is different from mine (slightly larger), it did feel good upon first handling it. The swing was easy and balance but slight head light - possibly due to thicker overgrip and weight. Will let you know more after my rackets are in use.

    Tested it tonight. Feels good. Balance, as my grip was light weight. Great swing speed. It's a 4u, needed slightly more wrist pull down action as I was using 3u previously. Overall, it perform as advertised. No sudden surprises. If you have not experience fast speed frame racket before there's occasional miss hit and onto frame but much easier compare to Arcsaber Z Slash - no compromise on miss hit.

    No adverse vibration felt (tension 27lbs). Control and direction are accurate and as intended. What I like most is the sudden snap speed it allows should you decide to use it. Perform equally well in defense an offense.

    Tried my friend's one for a few games. I only have a Nanoray10, so not much to compare with. Swing speed is fast (a lot faster than NR10), with balanced-very slight head heavy balance. Smashes were a bit off with my timing due to the faster frame, but once you get a good smash it is quite powerful. It's a good racket overall and very cheap (he got for $50 AUD). But not that big of an upgrade from low end yonex racket.

    apacs racket seems to receive very good review by user. i didnt hear of this brand until recently when a friend loan me a apacs racket when mine broke.

    i like the feel when i hit the shutter. i bought 2 lethal 66 and i am looking for another addition. the problem with apacs is that they dont have a website to list their entire range and price list. anyone know where to locate it?
