Panda Power: A Racket That Can Take 40lbs. String Tension!

**ViningWolff** · 08-26-2009, 09:21 PM

Got My Ultra today and I'm surpised at how LIGHT it is.

yes You heard me... light. It's about the same weight as my current Sp -9000 and is a little less head heavy - though that will likey change a bit when I re-grip to smaller grip.

The shaft is ever so slightly thicker than my SP, but the joint is actually thicker on my SP.

The Ultra is a hair stiffer, which is funny given the SPs were listed as mid-flex when they came out abut 7 years ago.

It's heavy for today's standards Sir, not 7 years ago.

Also, I didn't send you a heavy one. I sent you one that was of average weight and BP. Have you actually played with the racket yet? You'll see it's stiff.

I wonder if any strings, rackets or birdies are harmed during the filiming process!

The video is nothing special. The only thing interesting is watching the digital read out go to 46+lbs. (10% pre-stretch) and coming back to 42lbs.
