Tough break for both of you. On a positive note it will save him on shipping as the box will be much smaller. Had my T2's out a few times now and so much more satisfying for doubles than the U1, U2, or T1 which I previously had. Played all night with feathers and so much more enjoyable than plastic. It changes the game making it more challenging and the rallies went on a bit longer. Will do a review once my zm62 arrives and I get my 3 units strung. One thing is for sure not selling any as there isn't too many available these days. T2 is now my go to racket. It is just so easy to use it and plays effortlessly for me.
Hi Pat, I told you, you would love it. The T2 is *perfectly* suited for your game. Turns you from a intermediate range bomber to a bazooka!
Nope, I'm not the racket design engineer. I just tell them what I want and why. They make it, send to me, I test it in the real world and give them the results. I do make suggestions throughout the process though. At first, I got no respect, even after sending images of all the broken prototype rackets. It was only after I shipped about 5 rackets back, all broken at the shaft...then I started to get a little respect...a little. Actually, Panda's not the only tester. There are actually three full-time testers and Panda's adding two more. Tester # 1: Panda Primary Job: Complete racket analysis but specifically racket durability. Tester # 2: Guava, Panda's Double's Partner Primary Job: Racket performance suitability for intermediate to advanced players who have strong wrists and powerful smashes but do not normally break rackets. Tester # 3: John The Chemist Primary Job: Racket performance suitability for beginner to advanced intermediate players. John has the prototype body for badminton and can better analyze what the normal player needs. Tester # 4 & 5: Henry & Scott, The Racket Abusers Primary Job: Let's just say they are the best at testing the durability of the finish on any racket. Special Tester: Halim Haryanto Ho Primary Job: what job? Every racket I give Halim to test, he says, "Wow...this is good." LOL!
You are not understanding me, this Panda doesn't have any idea what you are talking about or what you are referring to. Please clarify, thanks...Panda's sleepy.
just protecting myself as I know there is a shortage right now and the next batch may already be spoken for already. Will still enjoy people begging me to sell them one of my Panda Powers but will have to decline. Fidget knows my history too well woven 9 and lx858 cough cough. When I do my review will list past rackets I have had and tested. Not sure if I can remember them all. One thing you can take to the bank. If there are interesting rackets being talked about in the forums I will be lurking.
Sorry i was occupied with work traveling ..was not able to attend to you. I will let derrick handle you since he had replied you first. But if you want the racket asap i have 2 more t1 for selection. Let me know.
Glad that you like it.... you really surprised me you are very young and i think you can be the next me choo just do ya best.
Yea i do, the badminton community is not that big in melb one way or another you will get the national team. Had a game or two with her before.
Dink Amychance you can please keep the colour scheme that is on the prototype !!!! I think it is really nice one of the best I have seen, maybe with panda power wrote in yellow ?
Dang! Dink! You broke the woven proto?!:crying: Have you thought about maybe changing sports to maybe tennis? Or if you golfed, your drives would might even match Tiger's. Just thinking aloud here, but you may want to ask some of your baddie buddies/coaches to analyze your swing thoroughly. There must be some component of your swing that is contributing to your unusual talent/ability in breaking the shaft so easily. I'm not sure I've even seen it happen in professional international competition. (Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong here.) The bird can only be (and really only needs to be) hit so hard, otherwise it'll go out. So, I'm thinking there must be something that is inefficient in your swing that is not transferring power properly to the bird, and the remaining excess power is being dissipated into the weakest point of the racket, ie. the shaft. What do you think?
