Update: just received word the production of the PRECISION is moving along as planned.

Hmmm, OK, analogy not going the way I intended to show my point. The voicing from a Strad in an expert's hands would be more exquisite, at least to those with musician's ears, relative to a cheap violin. Kinda like the difference between Cyndi Lauper's voice vs. Mariah Carey's voice, no offence to fans of Lauper.

(OK, maybe I'll change topic back to badminton rackets, which is what Panda is good at and leave music to me instead.

)

Precision: great! When are you expecting them to arrive to our shores?

Can Panda ask if any delivery delays could occur for the Precision, since, lots of bad weather in China right now. I have 3 - 4 weeks delay for shirts that I have on order with China. They are ready, but cannot move.

On another note, ever tried a Panda's smash with a Stradivarius??? Hummm Wonder if it would sound as good as with a T2... ;o)

Back to something more serious now , what grip size does the T2 come in ? the UK version ?

**gsloh** · 08-11-2010, 09:19 AM

I think it's a standard grip size worldwide - around G4(.5) to G5 in Yonex-speak

Nah - he'd break a string (hold for laughter).

The T2 grip is, IME, a hair thicker than a Yonex G5. Perfect, in other words.

=( just broke my Trinity 2...mishit the shuttle where there was a slight fracture =(

Can't wait for the Precision. Might get another Trinity 2 as well

standard grip size in the UK is G3

**staiger** · 08-15-2010, 10:26 AM

Thanks , I do prefer normal G2 ...anything small than a G3 , otherwise I have trouble generate power on the backhand clear

**singnflip4life** · 08-15-2010, 10:38 AM

I think he means Apacs G2, which is smaller than Yonex G3, and I think between Yonex G4 ad G5

**staiger** · 08-15-2010, 03:16 PM

yes , Apacs G2 , LDrules , you know me better than I know myself

Nope - that's just mostly for Yonex.

The Panda's are G4.5 to G5 "in Yonex Speak", meaning as how Yonex define their grip sizes.

I'm talking about rackets in the uk market. you will find that G3 is 'the norm'. Just because panda only does ~g5 doesn't change that fact.

uk market is mainly yonex, carlton, karakal & head. all do g3 in uk afaik.

I believe the question was about the Panda Power racquets

There is no such thing as a UK version btw, no regional differences here afaik ...

**adonis** · 08-18-2010, 09:50 AM

Australia will also be receiving the Precision rackets when it comes out. Do register your interest with me at pandapoweraus@gmail.com to make sure you get your hands on one as it is expected to sell out quick like the Trinity 2
