    Hi, Just want to share. My T500II have arrived in Friday. It's a head heavy racket but not as head heavy as my lining N90. What i confuse that this racket feel stiff. I do own T200 II and i bend the shaft a little to compare with my T500 II, T200 II is still the stiffest. But when i play it, T500 II feel more stiff and damper feel and sometimes a little loss of power when i smash. Maybe the problem got something to do with "EVA Foam Construction". Eventhough i still can give a boom in smash if i want to but i have to use all my strength to make it happen. Maybe i will change my string and loosen the tension a bit (Previously Yonex BG 66, tension 28-27) to see what will going to happen.

    I was never a big fan of the Tantrum 500. I had the gen 1, sold it after a few months. Just didn't feel nice.

    Looks like it is lighter and less head heavy. Maybe stiffer? As usual the apacs website is quite lacking in information.

    Usually for Apacs the word "pro" means a stiffer shaft with 30 ton carbon. I seriously feel Apacs don't have specs...they have several rackets and just put decals.

    T200II same as T200 with thinner shaft. Both are good rackets to go with.

    I was just wondering why APACS doesn't put a "Made in Malaysia" in all their rackets. I'd be a prouder owner of an APACS racket that way;)

    After breaking my VTF, I went to the outside courts to play doubles since I didn't have a singles racket with me after giving back the borrowed racket back to it's owner. Funnily enough the doubles partner got really scared of losing when I picked up my banged up, taped up Carbonex 21SP.

    He instantly went, I have a spare racket! you can play with that. Cover was a wilson blx so I was kind of bummed but then got surprised to see an apacs featherweight 200 lurking there! Surprised mostly because I think he had pushed it aside to play with a yonex that wasn't upto the mark. Anyhow, the first few hits were really off. I mean really off everywhere on the stringbed. Missed two smashes completely and racket swung like a lifetime before the shuttle even reached. Really rather fast and unexpected. All of it were my own shortcomings however.

    After awhile I did adjust and we did end up coming back from 7 points down to take the game. Really enjoyed the effortless clears and speed I could exact from it, To be honest I would've continued playing with it if he didn't have to leave after the game.

    Really enjoyable racket but felt stupendously light sometimes. It really made up for the lack of good footwork I had because of my recovering back.

    It is rather confusing to me with so many models. is there a web site from Apacs to show the full range and price list? I suppose the best in the range would be the most expensive one. Of course, most expensive may not work for everyone.

    I haven't seen such a site. I usually use the sports horizons website. It has a good selection. The apacs website is useless.

    Does any body know which racket Lethal 90 was a clone of?

    I know Apacs cloned the Victor Bravesword series, but don't know which model.

    There are a few apacs rackets that also used the hexagonal bravesword frame from Victor. Lethal and apacs virtuoso performance, are some of them.
