    87.0 - 94.0g, BP300-305. We felt the Ti10 was a great attacking racket but could use more defense so we dropped the BP.

    In defense of the 1st generation Ti10, it was created during time where the norm was 2U and 3U (85-95g) rackets, the game was not as fast as it is now which is contributed by the new rally scoring system.

    The new 2nd and 3rd generation Ti10s are about 5mm more balanced than the 1st Gen. The Trinities are still, a bit more balanced. There are Trinities that are in the BP290-295 range but BP285 is the norm. You would have to order specifically and ask for a higher BP.

    So what would the BP of the NS9900 be? :O
    Does the Canadian distributor give these oppurtunites to order specifically?

    The BP of the NS9900s that I have tried were around 275-280, they were too headlight relative to the stiffness of the racket. If Yonex added 5-10mm more to the head, the 9900 would be my new favorite Yonex racket. :)

    You should contact MJ at www.mjstrings.ca for specifics, thanks.

    Now, now. Would it not be easier to just read the thread? i swear i have seen at least 3 reviews, and there are probably a lot more, maybe 20. Heck, the rackets have been explained at most 2 pages ago.

    The PPTrinity feels like the 1st gen Ti-10. i think.

    Ok..i've read some of the reviews regarding these rackets.Anyway,r there any pictures of the rackets?So,i assume that there's only 3 models available rite now?Ultra 1,ultra 2,trinity..?

    So,dink,help me with this.I find it really comfortable while playing with 900P.Everything about it,especially the feel when smashing.Those crips,repulsive shaft effect,hammering the shuttle comfortly.Ultra 1 sounds like 700 limited.I dont like that.So,i assume u would reccomend the ultra 2?What's the approx balance point n how is the stiffness,length of the shaft compared to 900P?..What's the max tension for it?40?So,if strung below 40 n it breaks,is it still in the warranty?

    About the trinity..feels like the ti10?which gen?2nd gen?1st gen sounds abit extreme..maybe because i only tried to play with the 2U,never tried the 3U.Besides,ti10 balance point is nearly around 290 already,after strung n gripped.But the tension limit is just 30?Which is so normal..not the exact reason why i'm looking for a racket from u.LOL.. So,if u can explain abit more about these 3 rackets comparing to 900P and ti10 2nd gen,and if can,also with the old 700..it would be very helpful.

    Thanx alot!

    Hope you can see photobucket

    Let me repost the imageshack ones then [​IMG]. You should try a 290+ BP Trinity at your favorite weight ;). The colour is more like the first picture than the second.

    Ahhhh, learn something new every day. :p

    Panda will have a website up with direct links, better quality pictures, an FAQ, and all pertinent information soon. That is the plan these next few weeks. :)

    If i recall..

    ..during my trip to Beijing, last yr, i couldn't even access photobucket and a host of other photo sharing websites (to upload pics and post them in BC). As a matter of fact, a lot of the internet sites (esp. U.S. based ones) are forbidden in China. Hopefully the hyperlinked pics, above, can be seen by those in CHN..:cool:

    Thank goodness, though, BadmintonCentral.com is not one of those forbidden sites (afterall, badminton is a national sport in CHN).
    On that note, hopefully our NGP's website won't be forbidden in CHN.:cool:
