    Quick question Panda, in a post a while back you said the woven shaft recovers faster then the CNT. So today when I went out for a ride on my bike I was thinking about how the rebound setting on my suspension was related to the shaft on a badminton racket. I think that a stiffer shaft will generally recover faster then a flexible shaft correct? If so is it possible to make a flexible shaft recover at almost the same rate as a stiffer shaft?

    If you look in that way then also T is not offensive racket and I can tell you that I hit/smash with it a lot better than with most head heavy racket which I do not prefer.

    So it is a matter how you play, how strong you are and what kind of game you like to build when playing.

    As we once discus with Mark we both like to "whip" opponent and I can do better with T and P racket that with head heavy racket. At least this is what I found.

    Well, that's it for the UK/EU Precisions for this time; in all honesty almost all of them were sold before I even ordered them:D...

    Next up, three or four Ultra Pros - the Panda "900P". They should be here in time for Xmas:).

    Update - an EU order has gone in for four Ultra Pro; three have been reserved already. Last one will go to whoever gets to me first. Should be on their way to me before the end of the week:).

    Price will be $140 eqivalent (according to Paypal), viz. £92.50 or 111 Euro as of the time I ordered.

    So if Panda has 100 rackets. It'll take roughly 500mins which is 8 hours!!! Now that's service!

    Assuming Panda is NOT a robot, and the Panda is amusing himself with some TV once in a while... 8 minutes per racket, so 100 rackets is 800 minutes, which is 13+ hours, assuming he eats 3 square meals a day, that would be a day long process if he didn't do ANYTHING else.


    Like play badminton. Applause to the great Dink for all his hard work. People like me have the easy job, we just pay and enjoy!

    If I was panda, after finishing one racket I'll reach over to my pile of mcdonalds chicken nuggets and dip it into some tasty sweet n sour sauce and eat it before going onto the next racket. :rolleyes:

    I really can't see Dan eating McDonalds chicken nuggets. Like his love of Badminton Equipment he also loves great food and in both area's he is particular. Bonus for me
    as I do too so looking forward to my next visit as he knows some great spots.:D

    Think after a few hours of play we could scare the owners of a few all you can eat buffet places as well. Have to twist Fidget's arm to come down on the next trip and join in on the fun as well. :rolleyes:

    at dink,
    "8) ...next, "harmonic balance" of the racket, which is done by spinning the racket at the shaft. If the racket spins true, no wobble, the racket is balanced. If the racket wobbles, that means the racket may have a defect, depending how severe the wobble is..."

    how do you perform this process, ie what method to spin the racket at the shaft? what is the solution if the racket is found to be unbalanced? thanks.
