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

**DinkAlot** · 10-28-2010, 07:29 PM

The Ultra Pro is ideal for an attacking player who wants a solid, durable, powerful racket...assuming he can flex the shaft.
It's also ideal for the wristy, counter attacking player who strings at high tension and plays a precision game by "punching" the shuttle.

It sounds like an interesting racquet and I love the design.

I just might have to get one of these as well...

That does sound kind of like me. Not sure about the shaft flex, though, better hit the gym.

thanks Dink!

OMG i have yet to lay my hands on the precision and the ultra Pro is already on the way....

The Ultra will be a monster i tell you. The U1 was really the best racket i ever used but really really hard and tiring.

**Notnimdab729** · 10-28-2010, 09:09 PM

Hi Xing long,
Told u to sell the Ultra 1 to me.......

if u are tired.

Now I have to look for a off spec Ultra Pro to replace Ultra 1's loss.

So when's the ETA to Canada for the Ultra Pro? I'm guessing at the end of November?

**j4ckie** · 10-29-2010, 01:15 AM

So, how stiff is it gonna be? In comparison to, say, the LN N90/YY AT700? Am I right guessing it'll be similar to those? And Dink, you gotta stop producing new rackets so fast - you're ruining me here

The Ultra Pro is stiffer.

Relative stiffness (lower is stiffer):
Ultra Pro: 7.0 - 7.2
N90 and AT700: 7.8 - 8.0

After Panda sends the shipment of rackets the United States Postal Service says Priority International Mail takes 6-10 business days, not including customs inspection (if any).

Hey Dink,

Do you have any spoilers for us about the Titan? Any color designs or anything?

Also, how do we feel about starting racket-particular threads? I mean not everyone has their Precision yet, the Ultra Pro is dangerously close to being released, there is still a lot of talk about the T2, and now I'm asking about the Titan. Just an idea.

**Notnimdab729** · 10-29-2010, 09:43 AM

Hi Sen_jie,
No problem. Once I have Ultra Pro, I will lend it to u for a swing.

Separate Threads: that's out of Panda's hands...errrr...paws; it would be up to Kwun and the powers that be.

Titan: let Panda go into his archives and find the proposed design and get back to you...

Precision: some BCers wanted "real world" images of the Precision. Panda replied and asked what "real world" meant and they all replied something like, "You know, 'real world'." Panda is still scratching his head, he doesn't know what that means exactly but here is a "real" picture of the Precision in this "world" (Panda's Cave):
