For the pictured red and yellow Trinity Pros, I find the transition to black looks a little stark for my liking. Perhaps a gentler, more gradual melding into black. And if red, I'd vote for avoiding fire-engine red and going for a mature burgundy or plum. (Panda, dear Panda, how are you going to sort through all these opinions? DC badminton will have to open a full time Consumer Research & Statistics department! )
no. not gold please. a nice fast car yellow is much classier. or if you dare, the color of the year: Pantone Honeysuckle.
THIS is what a reissue of the Precision should be. I'd love to have a completely raw finished Precision in my favorite specs. My goodness I'd buy at least 2.
IMHO for the Trinity Pro colouring scheme, I have two ideas why red and blue suits more than the others: 1. Red since the it's the original colour scheme for the Trinity racquets. 2. Blue since it will look as if it suits the Ultra Pro more as a companion (purple and blue), which is also a "Pro" version of the Ultra (which is originally Yellow, if you all can remember it). Fu Haifeng's LN N50II is also blue, in contrast to the red LN N50.
Don't worry G., Panda is receiving a new Precision prototype this new manufacturer says is going to perform better, be stronger and more durable. Assuming it plays as expected, the new Precision will be produced immediately.
I'm planning to get Trinity Pro, but it's available on Feb '11, I can't wait any longer or maybe I should get UPro, nah, that's too much for me. BTW, has Panda made it's decision for TPro colour?
Because the "gold" looks like yellow in the pic. I thought it was supposed to be yellow as well ... It should be in dirrrty Z-Slash yellow .
Yeah, Yellow's better than Gold - please not like the SW32. As kwun said, more of a sportscar yellow and darker than the Z-Slash pls
There is no possibility of it being plain yellow. Yellow just looks incredibly cheap and crappy (eg. Arc-Z) The proposed color is more amber than the SW32, and would have the same sparkly finish as all other PP rackets since the U2 - it would not look gold-plated if that's what anyone is thinking. The closest thing in terms of badminton rackets, would probably be the color used on the Carlton Aeroblade TT (the gold version - not the cheap and crappy looking yellow version). A red version would mostly likely use the same shade of red as the second (and subsequent) versions of the T2, or perhaps a shade somewhere between that and the original T2 and T1 (ie. claret). And just for the record, technically speaking, the signature color of the Ultra has *always* been "Ravens Purple" with Yellow/Gold trim.
I will try to post a picture of genesis, if I can find it. I would suggest not that colour though it was a bit tacky. I prefer a shiny gold colour like the RSL X2 gold or Carlton Vapour trail elite, but this probably doesn't align with the aim of a "pro" racket of reduced decals/paintwork etc...
The gold on that new Wilson Recon wouldn't go amiss either - definitely a gold leaning towards yellow, rather than bronze. Sparkly gold, though... I dunno - James may have it right that it looks tacky next to "solid" gold, but the Genesis prototypes did pass through my hands on their way to him, and I didn't find them that unnattractive.
Petey Pete say yerrow I think it looks fast, and personally I don't see a lot of yellow racquets (outside of z-slash) in my area so I would like to be one of the first to have one...
