Well I'm not complaining, I think it's quite an elegant colour. I do hope we see a change from this striped motif with the Revelation, though

DinkAlot, that TC700 got me thinking - have you tried out any new racquets recently? I know you were looking for people to send in Li Ning racquets so you could update your reviews thread ... and I was just wondering what the influences of the next generation of PPs would be.

The "Revelation" is the future of rackets. Actually that future is already here in woven rackets, especially SOTX. Relatively speaking, good woven graphite outperforms the best, regular, non-woven graphite. But there is too much of a good thing. For instance, the TC700 is just that. The TC700 uses Meidai's Tetris Axial (TA) woven graphite which is quad woven (as opposed to bi-axial for regular woven graphite). On paper, TA woven graphite is way superior to anything. But in reality, it's too much of a good thing. I found the TC700 dead and uninspiring. It was like hitting with a washboard. The TC700 was very stiff but not as stiff as the U1 or X2 Gold but it was more demanding than both.

So, right now it's about getting the woven Revelation frame, which is based on the AT900T frame but can take 35lbs. with no problems and match that to the proper shaft.

I may do two versions of the Revelation, one with an extra stiff shaft and one with a moderate shaft. This is still 3+ months away.

That sounds great. I have heard plenty of good things about the AT900T so that sounds like a good source of inspiration

No worries Sir.

There are no more U1s. They are discontinued. If you are truly looking to purchase one, e-mail me and I can try and find one for you.
