    I played about 1.25hrs 6 games of singles with the Revelation and I am very very impressed with this racket. For the most part I didn't have to choke up on the cone area of the handle for faster swings, and the flexible shaft allowed me to get out of trouble when I had to retrieve a shot placed deep in my backhand corner!

    Playing higher level doubles allowed me to be quick in the front with accurate blocks and drops while sorta pounded smashes from the rear!

    one thing still bugs me is the frame, I never like a racket with a frame too close to being round and that's why I dislike the arc10 and love the arc11 or nr800!

    The UPK's have the hologram cap. Well, mine do:).

    Mine is strung and gripped, should be able to test and review by the end of the week.

    i should have the UltraK strung up soon. let me know if anyone in the south bay want to try it out.

    should i attempt 45lbs again? need stronger strings though. BG65 isn't strong enough. or just do 40lbs?

    Weird that we can discuss doing "just" 40 lb on a badminton racket... I just did mine at 32 and I could almost hear it laughing at me.

    If the old Ultra Pro took 46, adding Kevlar can only make it more mental.

    Weeeeell...instead of doing 45lbs strings, you could just as well put in a nice plank of wood. Will give you roughly the same power with much less danger to the racket and your fingers! :D

    Mine arrived today in Winnipeg, look better in person. Feeling the bumps of the triple shaft and testing the flex curious to see how it plays. String them up tonight and give them a go tomorrow. Similar specs
    to the Revelation so comparing should be interesting in that regard as well.

    Anyone want to test one or the revelation let me know.

    If you like to see the construction of Panda Power Revelation,

    Here is the cut view of the shaft. It says Panda next to the cut.

    This is the ONLY Revelation broke out of 33, due to a severe clash on court. Frame was strung with ZyMax70 at 25x26lb, played by a Canadian Junior player who plays national and provincial tournaments.

    The frame and the shaft is made with one of the best material available.

    After having a great experience with the Tpro for the last couple years, I've been reading all about the Revelation and the Ultra Kevlar Pro. I really enjoyed the Tpro racket for its fantastic all around capabilities but especially the speed, though I wanted a little more "umph" in my smash. Getting the revelation it seems would be like an all around upgrade to the Tpro but I'm really leaning towards the Ultra Kevlar for a dedicated power racket that's powerful and solid on the smash(I'll have my Tpro for that). Think I should go for something in the 4U or the 3U? My Tpro specs were 85g, 305 bp. I'll would still like the headheaviness for sure, perhaps ~315 bp
