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

[Teebs]

No replacement pandas for me apparently

Sorry Dan I have. Just received from Mark

This is just my observations regarding new design. Playability not suffering here

Your referring to color? If so, to each his own.

Why did you use paint on racket head since on first version of tpro you mention that racket behaves better with no color on racket head?

Tried a new thin paint vs. raw and there was no difference. The difference was adding decals.

The new one plays a bit better than all the previous versions and is significantly stronger. Bet you didn't know that.

for me they play the same.

Right, they should. If you can tell a difference then you are a computer.

Panda's goal was near the same playability but stronger frame and it was done.

[cayzi]

Dan is there any difference in stiffness?

And how is with weight, for me right now feels that new tpro plays heavier.

Andrej: there's no difference.

You worry too much.

Update: one of the remaining TPros has been bought, the following remain:

285/86.7 (found in the bottom of the box!)
291/87.1
292/87.0
296/87.8

TPros are now strung with WISE goodness.

How much is each racket being sold for? Are they sold prestrung at around the 36lb or do you string them?

Rackets are £89 + 6 postage via Special Delivery. I can string them in anything you like, at any tension (within warranty) you like, with free labour (string price only).

How does it compare to the trinity pro or trinity 2?

[DinkAlot]

Other than Wolffie and PeteLSD, any other BCers potentially interested in this racket?

A current top international player asked Panda to produce a racket for him...errrrrr...or her.

This individual likes ultra stiff rackets with a fast head...

...so the Trinity with an Ultra 1 shaft stiffness (actually a bit stiffer) immediately came to mind.

Anyway, here are the proposed specs:

Racket: Trinity XTREME Limited Edition
Weight: 86-90g
BP: 295-305mm
Material: Toray M40J (shaft and frame)
Stiffness: 6.8-7.0
Finish: non-reflective black matte

So sort of like a 9900?
Is it a slim shaft / aero head?

Significantly more stiff. Same head and shaft size/diameter.

Trinity XTREME Limited Edition

Hmm...slightly head heavy and stiff racket. Kinda like the Victor MX80? What's the price point?

Dear Panda, please stop messing about with xtreme ltd editions and get that woven Revelation out!
