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

[singnflip4life]

So, just curious, rackets should be coming in the next 2-3 weeks, yes?

Hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks.

I'm also working on the "Genesis" (new name for the Thunder). I will have a few actual samples in about 3 weeks. If good, the Genesis will go into production too.

Oh dear... So there's the Revelation, Ultra Woven, Trinity Woven, and Genesis. And thats in addition to the U1, U2, T1, and T2. Wow!!!! I need to start looking for another job >.<

Hah! I was right about the Genesis name... I had suggested that to you 1 week ago!

Anyways, thanks for the 87.2g 290bp T2 .... just received it few days ago and got to play with it yesterday. 28lbs is a bit too much for plastic birds with my puny muscles, so I'll have to get it restrung.

Thanx for the goodies, btw!

Panda's had that name in the back of his mind for many months now but OK, Panda will give you "credit" for it.

28lbs.? It felt a bit lower.

But yes, for plastic, you should go lower, go as low as you can possibly tolerate because it's easier on the string and racket.

Plastic birds are murder on equipment.

Loving my Panda Power Trinity 2!

Had it for a week now...still getting used to it, but it is damn powerful.

Thought this quote was pertinent after testing the T2 for 3 weeks straight:

"...gram for gram the T2 will hold it's own against any racket out there. "

Why don't taneepak test out the T2 instead of arguing about an extra cross?

Hey Dink

I do know it's still really early to say. However I do believe that this information would be relevant to people looking into buying your rackets in the near future.

How would the Genesis and Revelation compare to that of the T2 and U2? Of course, the rackets itself have not yet been designed but what are you hoping for the rackets to achieve?

Cheers.

what happened to the purple panda power ultra. A few months back i saw pictures of it.

[singnflip4life]

That was the Ultra 2 I believe.

That was the Ultra 2 I believe.

Still too early to say anything as I'm still waiting for the production samples to arrive to see if the changes I made are effective and to my satisfaction.

The U2 (soon to be U3 when I sell out of the U2s) and T2 will always be around with minimal changes/improvements. The T2 is about at it's technological and development limit. The possible improvements: the finish, upgraded grommets. The U3 will keep the U2 graphics but probably go back to the U1 stiffness but lighter weight 82-85g and more head heavy, BP300-305. We'll see. I have a few different variations coming.

The Genesis and Revelation are different niches. Genesis slight attacking/head heavy bias, Revelation more an ultra-premium racket all-around racket. Think of it as a T2 plus with exotic material. But none of this is etched into stone.

Bad color rendition, need to retake and tweak the purple...color temp was at 5,000K and thought it would do the trick, no so with Compact Fluorescent Lighting...no wonder photo pros still opt for hot burning halogens lighting.

A U3 . So if I have one of each of the U's my racquet bag will contain.

1. Super stiff & heavy attacking racquet & slightly head heavy
2. Stiff & mid weight attacking racquet & even balance
3. Super stiff & lighter weight attacking racquet & more head heavy

When will you sell out the U2's, can't wait for the next one since I need some time to play the other ones

And can you imagine, if you choose the extreme of weights and bp's of each series, you'll have 2-4x the number of different types of racket specs to play with!

After hearing so much review i cannot wait to lay my hands on one...
