    Can Panda ask if any delivery delays could occur for the Precision, since, lots of bad weather in China right now. I have 3 - 4 weeks delay for shirts that I have on order with China. They are ready, but cannot move.

    On another note, ever tried a Panda's smash with a Stradivarius??? Hummm Wonder if it would sound as good as with a T2... ;o)

    I think it's a standard grip size worldwide - around G4(.5) to G5 in Yonex-speak

    Nah - he'd break a string (hold for laughter).

    The T2 grip is, IME, a hair thicker than a Yonex G5. Perfect, in other words.

    I think he means Apacs G2, which is smaller than Yonex G3, and I think between Yonex G4 ad G5

    Nope - that's just mostly for Yonex.

    The Panda's are G4.5 to G5 "in Yonex Speak", meaning as how Yonex define their grip sizes.

    I'm talking about rackets in the uk market. you will find that G3 is 'the norm'. Just because panda only does ~g5 doesn't change that fact.

    uk market is mainly yonex, carlton, karakal & head. all do g3 in uk afaik.

    I believe the question was about the Panda Power racquets ;).

    There is no such thing as a UK version btw, no regional differences here afaik ...

    Australia will also be receiving the Precision rackets when it comes out. Do register your interest with me at pandapoweraus@gmail.com to make sure you get your hands on one as it is expected to sell out quick like the Trinity 2 :)

    Yes to the Joshua Bell test. There are too many detrimental variables for Bell to "succeed". The Post created the worst case scenario. Even if everyone recognized Bell, they have something even more important to do: go to work and be responsible. If everyone stopped to listen and get caught up in the moment, who's going to run the country?

    There's a right time and place for everything.

    If Panda was going to work and did not have extra time, he would not stop either.

    Panda bets Joshua would have done 100 times better in donations if the test time was at 6:00pm (people getting off work).

    Precision Update: the rackets should be done in a week or so. :D

    Joshua bell playing in the subway... just finished reading up on it.

    If he had played on a busy street corner, he would have been more "succesful" in attracting an audience. As such, in the subway, everybody is rushing around trying to get somewhere. However, if someone had known he was holding a $3.5 million dollar instrument in the subway, I'd guess that he would have had it stolen from him at gunpoint!

    Re: Precision rackets. So, they should be here in North America by mid to end of September?

    The Precision should be in North America by the first week of September.

    Here's a picture sent a few days ago by the manufacturer.
    Please note the color balance is a bit off.
