So i just received mine today as well so i thought i just dropped a few lines about it after 3+ hours of play (sorry to hijack your thread but i guess we could all compile the T2 reviews here)

Bought from blurryD
weight: 86g
bp: 286mm (give or take 2mm - add the Nano60 karakal on top of the black one)
string: bg80 - 27lbs (at least i requested it)

Coming from carbonex21, a900P and recently 900T, i have to say i love this racket on the first day out more than the armortecs that i played with.

baseline clear is effortless with a snap of the wrist. drops are oozing with touch-feel but this may be due to the bg80 and 27lbs. lifts are also effortless and it is easy to direct the shot. smashing power is amazing and it is really BIG when i get the sweet spot! as for defense, as you already know that this racket speed is really fast and so defense is the highlight of the night. In fact, it is so fast in my hand that the effortless maneuverability allows for faster reaction and to get that racket into many weird angled shots.

There is one thing i want to comment, is that i 'get the feel' of this racket straightaway. Timing will require a few more games but what i mean is that overall "wholesome" feel that you get when you flow with the racket. The sound, the touch, the feel, it is all in place -i don't know how to explain it right- but this 'feel' is, and has been absent for the past month using the a900T. For some reason i could never 'get' the 900T.

so anyway, the more i write the more i don't make sense but, so i better stop here. But as all reviews go, your mileage may, and will, varies, so to each his own. However for me, i am seriously considering selling my 900T to afford another T2 as backup, one that is slightly heavier and headheavy (with grip and string).

And Dinkalot, please remember to hold that racket i emailed you about!!!! Now, i really want it!

You will never go wrong with panda power. Enjoy it

I totally understand where you're coming from gapperonduty! people tell my the 900T is an awesome racket but I never really got the feel of it either. T2 is an awesome racket, though I wish I had enough money to get a headheavier version too!

my T2 broke 2 days ago on the frame.
I did not break it in a clash.
my opponent made a drop shot, so I lunged for it and it broke..
but the racket did not even hit the floor..?
when i looked at the racket the frame on the left side was broken.
did i receive a defective racket?
i will be posting a picture soon, and im wondering if i can get it fixed, or replaced.

Did the weather kill it? My condolences. Hope it gets replaced.

Have you ever clashed it together with another racket or equal?
Have seen a Z-slash just collapsing from a guy just swinging in the air, not going for a shuttle. He had clashed it 3 times with another racket.

Dyrtla, I'd get in touch with dcbadminton@gmail.com and talk to him about it. These rackets are supposed to be so strong that something like this doesn't happen.

**gapperonduty** · 03-25-2010, 01:25 PM

went to play again last night...
oh man i feel like i have been using this racket for ages and i only have it for the second daY!

everything is so good! no point reviewing it twice as words are useless to describe the experience with the racket.

everything went well till i sprained my ankle LOL! i think it made me feel super invincible that i pick up the game intensity and bang, there goes my ankle on the floor!

anyway to shamelessly promote my thread, if anyone got an insight into yonex shoes, help me with recommendation at

As far as demo-ing them goes, the UK distributor is based in St Helens, so you might be in luck: appleton_strings@yahoo.co.uk (he goes by the username "Mark A" on BC)

by a matter of fact no. Ive been reading through Badminton Central, and ive realized someone else had this problem as well.

he said he got his fixed because it was a factory glitch which rarely happens.
i think mine was a factory glitch as well because i had no paint chips on my racket, was only about 1 month old, played twice a week, and never suffered a crash.
i will be posting a pic soon when i get my camera back.
well, i hope i can get it replaced.
