    how would you rate (e.g. 8/10) lethal light special's power, and defense compared to tantrum 300's?

    when you say lacking in defense, you mean it's hard to lift up the racket since it's heavy ?

    LLS power I would rate at 8.5, T300 at 9 to 9.5. Lethal 70 would probably be 10 from reviews, but I have not tried it, so I'm not sure.

    Lacking in defense to me is somewhat related to "harder to lift up", you can imagine since a racket is a lot lighter you can swing it around faster do your racket will be more likely in position before the smash reaches you.

    Furthermore the LLS is a bit more flexible than the T300, which means clearing smashes will be easier.

    I would say arcsaber 10 is about the same, slightly lower power than T300, around 9? Defense is same as T300, less than LLS.

    I would suppose its a bit better than LLS just because of 5mm more of length.

    If I want power, should I get 24x22 tension? (I think I will get Tantrum 300 but it will cost a lot with 10 $ shipping, 20$ strings)

    24x22 is pretty good for most people I would say.

    All rackets from apacscanada.com should be free shipping right now, and isn't the strings the same price? Kam (owner of that site) operates from Markham, so you can even do local pickups.

    It will be shipped via CanadaPost, so it would come straight to your door. You can't really choose the time it comes, depends on the delivery lol

    i heard they're similar
    but T300 might be better in terms of technology and quality

    If you're not home then you get a notice to pick it up at the closest postal outlet.

    As for the T200, it's not made anymore as it was replaced by the T300.

    Out of all the rackets I think the T300 is the most balanced. Good for both offense and defense. Either of the "light" rackets would not provide the power for a good offense.
