I'm still looking forward to receiving my T2, and im currently located in Hong Kong.
ill be able to try out the 0.62mm string once it arrives!

Shipment from the UK? Do you mean US?

I don't think the shipment from the US has even arrived in the UK yet.

EDIT: Or at least it hasn't got to Mark yet.

Mark said he would email me when they arrived with him and he hasn't received them as of yesterday. He said he presumes they are with inbound customs.

The thing about the new T2 is the paint work is really good. The head shape of the T2 is bigger than victor square head square resulting in a bigger sweet spot. I am going to play with it tonight

The T2 is a regular isometric head shape, just like all iso rackets out there.

It does however have a rather large sweet spot, which I surmise is due to having high quality Toray M40 graphite in the frame.

hmm i wonder when the rackets will arrive in UK? can anyone check for me?

Again, Mark is emailing me when he receives them. As soon as he emails me I will post here. I presume he will probably post it here too, but I will check and post if not.

Tried my T2s last night. Will not provide a review right now as i keep mistiming my shots. The racket swing speed is too fast. I need to get use to it. Excellent paint really, frame a few shots and the paint is still as good as new. Word of advice for the manufacturer. Please do not touch the paint while it is still wet! My fren t2 has a fingerprint mark on the T joint area. Think it is time to play CSI and see who did it! LOL

Yeah, there's no tracking on the shipment, so it's anyone's guess where the rackets are.
If they made it to British soil before the Icelandic eruption, then it would take maybe 2 weeks for them to clear customs, meaning Mark would probably receive them some time next week.
If not, then it could still be a few more days before they reach the UK, plus the 1-2 weeks in customs. If there's a big backlog, then they could be delayed even longer.

Basically, it could take anywhere from a couple of days to 3 weeks - you'll just have to wait and see.

LOL that small fingerprint indeed.....

just out of curiosity, i compared this new T2.1 against a T2 which i had in my possession, T2.1 had a slightly longer shaft as compared to T2...

this T2.1 comes in at 85.5grms, bp290 dry weight. after stringing, original grip was removed and wooden handle was wrapped with a layer of electrical tape with minimal overlap, then followed by a thin Pacific overgrip and finally a Toalson thin overgrip....now bp ends up at 288mm....only just a touch of head heaviness.

Maybe I missed it but what weight and BP you have.

**huangxl** · 04-23-2010, 04:02 AM

285 and 287 but not big difference if you ask me

**Sketchy** · 04-23-2010, 05:52 AM

Congratulations huangxl, on making the 2000th post in this thread.
Is this the longest one on BC yet?

As of now, still waiting

. It's going to be INSANE when they get here - 20 odd rackets out the door in two days.

Good luck

Really hope they got on a flight before "the ash"

Just a quick update. I jus collected my T2 from derrick around an hour ago.

first feel = quick and light, however was slightly lighter and less head heavy as expected.

Comment = when brought home for further inspection, realise tat there is a paint chip on the 3 oclock mark.

i have jus removed the grip and replace it with a karakal PU grip. Will test it tommorow morning before doing another update on it.
