Bloody hell - I empty the thing every week!

Stringing will be done tomorrow and shipping on Monday. UK buyers will have theirs before the end of the week.

I got my Trinity Pro yesterday, and I'm loving it. I'll edit this post with a more formal review later, but it's by far one of the best rackets I've ever used. Still getting used to how effortless the racket is to use!

An extra TPro has emerged, so I'm putting it up for anybody who wants it

. Racket is NEW but has no plastic around the handle or cloth bag. Spec 283 mm @ 85.2g. £81 plus shipping to reflect the lack of extras (usually £83).

First come, first served!

Anyway, Panda recommends Ashaway ZyMax strings on Panda Power Rackets...

...so there.

Seconded....i tried my T2V2 with ultimax and maximas, but so far Zymax62@26lbs is the best!!!

Thirded - Z62@27 turned my TPro into railgun that somehow also played drop shots to within half an inch of the tape.

I should try ZM62, but I am really afraid with their durability
when I go back to Indonesia, I will try the new ZM62 (if they have it)
if they don't have it, I might try BG66 UM

Same here. Downside is restringing the racket at least every other week^^

Gave my neglected TPro some more quality time recently. 284mm-86g.
Solid but light frame gives crisp control, quick defence, and it has more power than one expect based on its light specs.
Dinkalot, you've made my dream come true and essentially resurrected the Trinity 1.

Looking forward to more reviews from you folks in Panda-Europa, now that MarkA's postal woes are over and the TPros have been distributed.

**Sketchy** · 05-11-2011, 08:05 PM

I've been using ZM62 @ 24-25lbs for ages now, and as long as I'm playing okay, it will usually last me a couple of months (and I'm an aggressive player who likes to smash/drive hard and often).
Having said that, it won't survive many mishits - last week for example, I wasn't playing so well, and it resulted in me breaking the strings on 3 rackets.

The updated ZyMax string = awesome.

The most notable improvement is the outer shell which has a more premium feel and is easier to string with: doesn't burn the grommets as much as the old shell.

In addition, the new string holds tension better than before. It's on par with BG80, if not slightly better (in this Panda's testing ZM67v2 vs BG80).

Panda currently uses ZM70v2 (version 2) at 32lbs. and it's near ideal.

Hi

My T-Pros arrived in time for my Friday evening badminton session

Great customer service from Mark A - thank you!

Dan and Mark A - which of you has a dog/cat with white fur as the cloth racket bags have quite a bit of fur on them! Might I add this not a problem at all - in fact I found it very amusing

Can't wait to try the rackets and review to follow.
