That DC Badminton home page is getting very crowded!

Precision Pro you mean to say...?

Precision Pro and Precision = synonymous now. The old Precision is no longer being produced.

My specs for revelation 85-87g, BP300

How do people find their PP's finish? I've been using mine as a main racquet. It's been in action for approx 40 hours. The paint sort of flakes off the frame so I got this tiny spots of white around the to part of the frame - no clashes.

It's purely cosmetical & I don't mind it at all (battle scars are cool ). Also like one other(?) here, the end cap flew off on the 1st smash . There goes Mr. Panda's logo! I even said "oooo, flying panda", but no one gets it (a risk of being in the exclusive Panda club I suppose ).

Again, zero impact on performance. I'm curious - it just doesn't seem to match the rest of the top notch build quality.

Keep up the good work Mr Dink! Next purchase is the Revelation & I'm setting the bar high .

PS: Broke the ZM-62 string it came with. Am on BG-65Ti now, not as good but this should break in a few weeks .

Yup, I've had that problem. It actually stopped me from selling it to a fellow BC'er cuz I had that paint flake off at the cone.

^^ Whew... that paint flake saved me for the Revelation. . But seriously, my P Pro too has a tiny white speck at 11 o'clock from a mishit. Good thing about black paint is that it's easy to patch with black nail polish from the wife.

The Revelation will have a protective glossy clear coat.

Going forward all other production rackets, if matte, will come with a matte clear coat.

I just use a Sharpie.

I've mentioned in an earlier post that a large amount of the butt cap logos had fallen off immediately (i ordered 6. and about 4 of them had fallen off if you remove the plastic wrap).

I've not seen any flaking on the cone yet probably cause i wrap overgrip all the way past the cone. some slight "white" at 11 o clock..just do to wear and tear.

Yah... sharpie works well for matte black, whereas nail polish for rackets with clearcoat.

I think I want my Revelation at 87g and 300 BP.

Here's the woven graphite weave on the Revelation:

what kind of paint job would you put on this new racket or would you keep it just the way it is in the pix?

[visor]

^^ No paintjob just clearcoat. If you have 100% all woven, you've got to flaunt it!

It's true! The Rev prototype was a thing of pure naked black glistening beauty.

Pick up a woven racquet that has clear coat. Hold it lightly in both hands.

Turn it this way and that, slowly, against the light. You will see the scales shimmer and move, and ripple as the beast comes to life...

Why would you want to drown such beauty in paint???

[DinkAlot]

Frame: raw woven finish with glossy clear coat
Shaft: raw woven finish with glossy clear coat with name/idenfication overlay where necessary.

Will try to minimize any text, no graphics, want to show the woven finish.
