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

**nutty** · 01-19-2010, 06:08 PM

Definitely racket D.

**jymbalaya** · 01-19-2010, 06:11 PM

may i make a suggestion?

what about a mix of C and D? I find the Revelation printed on black looks mighty clean, and the T joint with woven revealed looks cool.

Also, maybe at the top part of the frame, from the 9 to 11 o'clock positions, add more of the revealing woven stuffs.

if none of it is possible, i would probably choose C though i wouldn't mind D. C just looks cool.

Please pick your favorite or if you have any suggestions, please post.

The differences are:
A: 12 o'clock carbon fiber, no text
B: 12 o'clock carbon fiber with white text
C: 12 o'clock black paint with white text
D: 6 & 12 o'clock carbon fiber with white text

Hands down...errr...paws down, Panda prefers "D".

I prefer E

: 6 & 12 o'clock carbon fiber, no text. And secondly jymbalaya's first suggestion

.

Not trying to succumb to peer pressure, but I'll have to agree with them too. D is probably the best but wording on black looks much better than the current one.

Thanks Panda

D with the text on black. I don't actually think the carbon fibre looks that good at the 6 o'clock position in the design but combining the design with the photos in my mind I think it would look pretty good in real life.

**alexy** · 01-19-2010, 06:36 PM

My vote is on "D".

**ctjcad** · 01-19-2010, 07:15 PM

with a resounding approval, i think everyone wants Master Dan to produce the racket ASAP...hmmm..

**singnflip4life** · 01-19-2010, 07:21 PM

Amen to ctjcad. Amen.

**krisyay** · 01-19-2010, 07:25 PM

My vote goes to racket D as well!

Shirt looks pretty cool, and the design of it is simple enough that matching shorts can also be easily made. Any word on the panda bag? I could use a new bag

None of the above.

For a completely woven racket, I would flaunt the carbon weave with max exposure if I had a choice.

Therefore, white letters and graphics as you have done, but without any black paint, only clearcoat.

The only parts that may not be the most esthetically pleasing would be at 6 o'clock (where the shaft meets the frame) and the shaft itself (where you have 2 joints due to the triple tapered design). Due to the nature of the joints, these areas have irregular weave patterns, so they are best covered with paint.

Nothing more on the bag and shirt for now. The Revelation, here's an updated larger, more detailed image:

I kinda agree with Visor's opinion about giving the bare carbon weave as much exposure as possible! will definitely make the racket visually unique!

but from the 4 choices, D gets my vote!

**hunterkillerz** · 01-19-2010, 09:14 PM

I agree with jymbalaya`s C+D combo. White text on clean black background looks sexy.

**Sportech** · 01-20-2010, 06:50 AM

pls upload de bag's design....thx...

**FIVEs** · 01-20-2010, 09:39 AM

Oh yeah, definitely D for me

!

**Sevex** · 01-20-2010, 11:14 AM

I like D the most as well, I'd prefer it more without the Revelation written on the top of the frame as I like uncluttered frame designs. Reminds me a bit of the Carlton Airblade superlite.

Any plans to incorporate any mention of what the racket is made of anywhere on the design. eg "Ultra Woven graphite". Kind of like the "ultra carbon technology" written on the trinity 1. Seems a shame to use the material then not advertise it anywhere :P Then again I quite like gimmick free as well...

The designs are getting better with each new racket, although I prefer the t2 colours personally. Just hope they play as good as they look!
