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

[Dreamzz]

nah, that's not true, the thread on the NS9900 is way longer than this.

probably less eagerly anticipated though.

Damn, this introduction and responds of racquets is bigger than the evil empire's products.

And Panda didn't even reveal that much yet.

Sketchy (on BC) did all the design work and here's his "artistic impression" of the rackets:

[DinkAlot]

Please email the old friends when the 2 lethal weapons will arrive. I will take 1 each.
PS: they might go to the evil empire's engineer lab....

Nooooo, Panda is supposed to borrow from EE not the other way around.

......

that's because the EE is sponsoring the wrong players

[cooler]

So it's just for smashes then?

please read tension sticky 101

This thread is useless without pix.

You should be thanking me.

See, how it works is, you keep talking about it and don't show any pictures, and people start to wonder if the thing even exists.

I pretend to call you out on it and play the part of the eternal skeptic, so when the rackets finally do emerge, everyone will say "You proved Easy Tiger wrong! Yay for Dinky Panda! Where do I send my money!?!"

Sound like a plan?

I heard that they'll be black and white with bamboo shafts.

Any truth to the rumour?

lay down some bets or your posts are useless.

Panda is not convinced going with the highest modulus is the best for badminton rackets. In fact, the best, most durable rackets Panda has used have been around the 30T and 40T range which is relatively low modulus.

The 50T and higher modulus rackets have consistently broken faster because they are stiffer and eventually over flex, crack or crumble.

Also, due to the stiffness, these high modulus graphites make the player more prone to injury.

Anyway, again, Panda is no expert in materials but based on Panda's racket and shaft breaking experience, relatively lower modulus, specifically Toray's M30GC is much more durable.

u took the right path...

Panda Power Trinity
Panda Power Ultra
i thought instead of dc wording in the triangle, a pic of real panda will be nice.

dear master NGP,
when can i see it is MAS?

[Gemcat]

I'll take them both! Hopefully the shipping is cheap...
I like the Sketchy's Trinity design, but not so much on the Ultra. The original Ultra in your picture looks better with the black & yellow.

For Sketchy's Ultra colouring, I think navy blue goes better with bright yellow. Or you can go with havy blue and gold!

The purple and yellow don't mix well IMO

Tell that to the Lakers. LMAO!

The original picture of the Ultra is dark purple and yellow not black and yellow. The image just wasn't color corrected.

ZOMFG!!! TEH SEXINESS!!! Great work!!!!

IMO though, Panda Power Thunder sounds better than ultra....

"Ultra" is a better name for the racket because regardless of the player, the racket is "ultra".

"Thunder" is a great name but whether or not a "thunder"ous sound can be generated is dependent on the wielder.

i happen to know that from personal experience
we all can't be massively powerful.

Oh....my mistake. I thought the Ultra was Black and Yellow because....it looks like so in the picture. The purple was so dark that it looks like black from the picture.

Yes, it's supposed to be a dark purple, Baltimore Ravens purple.
