    I just weighed my racquets with an electronic scale and measured their balance points:

    Tantrum 300: 92g with strings and shrink plastic wrap, 290mm balance

    Lethal Light Special: 82g with strings and shrink plastic wrap, 300mm balance

    I must say I was a bit trepidatious with the off spec stuff people were saying here, so I asked Kam to select these 2 racquets based on my liking, and I am very pleased with the results! Almost exactly what I was looking for both in weight and in balance, 2 thumbs up at this stage.

    Sweet deal. Good stuff.

    So I really put my nano 900s to the test today. And my arm hurts. :p
    they really really require strength to wield, but the medium stiffness helped. When I connected on smashes, they really powered through and they made lazy clears decent. Unbelievable drops tonight, because the weight really tells you where it's going. I managed a Peter Gade :p

    They make the SOTX W7 feel light :D all in all I love them.

    I got to play a bit more with the lethal 70 and it's turned out to be an ok racket. Overall I'm very happy with the apacs products and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again or recommend them, especially for the price.

    Me too. Totally agree with you druss. A LOT of the small name brands are very very good, people are just afraid to make the jump because they aren't a big name brand.

    Just restrung my Nano 900 (red) with BG 65 at 28/30 lbs. I am amazed on how well BG 65 perform at high tension. Sadly, I had 2 hard clashes today also after I restrung it with 28/30 lbs which made me worried, but my Nano 900 survive with just paint chips (my friend was using yy at900t so he will be more furious than me :p). Someone please help me I got a high tension addictive :eek::crying::p.

    Yea, because of the stretching of the string at such high tensions, thicker strings start to take on the properties of thin strings.

    Nano9900

    I am a big fan of Yonex. However lately I broke my Nanospeed 9900 only 18mths old:crying::crying::crying:. A friend of mine sells Apacs and I bought a Nano9900 a clone of the YNS9900. I convinced myself that it is the same and actually it is. When I play with it I just imagine it is my YNS instead of a clone. They hv same color scheme and all.:D:D:D

    Halo all, I'm new here. Just want to ask, if anyone here know where can I get Apac lethal 60? I have tried many shop, but all sold out. Currently I'm using visible hollow 2000. What is the main different between this two racket??I heard that lethal 60 can strung to 45 lbs. Really?? I'm a big fan of proace previously coz It have many head heavy racket. But proace don't have any new model for quite some time. So I decided to give a try to Apac, visible hollow is my first apac racket. I found out it is quite powerful and easy handle. Apac give a very good impression to me, so I'm looking for a other 1. I'm not very familiar with the brands in the market now (stick to proace for many years). But now I found many racket such as Fleet, Protech, Ace power, Prince and RSL also produce good looking racket but dunno how is the quality. Among those brand, I found that apac racket can take highest tension. Do this mean apac have better tech?

    Thank you all.

    The lethal 60 may be sold out due to the release of the lethal 70, which is also a good racket. The Tantrum 200/300 are also good rackets.

    why not just get a second Li-ning? if adamant, maybe the nano pro 9900. a tantru 200 works, too.

    Yes the Lethal 70 is the heaviest and most head heavy racket as long as they're all in spec.
