    Thanks to www.rslcanada.com, my goodies showed up. :D No time for detailed pictures as I'm busy stringing these puppies up at 30lbs. but I will say this, the X2 Gold and Blue are among the nicest looking rackets I've ever seen. They are schweeeeeeeet! In fact, I vote the X2 Blue the best looking racket of the year...the Arc Saber 10 a close second.

    Bamboo doesn't provide enough "fiber". ;)

    A few more pictures so you get the idea. Sorry if they are not Red/Kwun/Lurker quality, Panda needs to finish stringing and go testing... :D

    I like it how they say "Super Stiff, Heavy Attack" they make it sound like a souped up bomber's racket!

    It's referring to the internal construction quality. They claim that the hollow sections of the frame in competitor's rackets have an uneven "wrinkled" inner surface which I'm guessing they would say leads to unnecessary weight and stress risers (stress concentrations). "Wrinkle free" would be, in their opinion, stronger, more consistent build.
