may i make a suggestion? what about a mix of C and D? I find the Revelation printed on black looks mighty clean, and the T joint with woven revealed looks cool. Also, maybe at the top part of the frame, from the 9 to 11 o'clock positions, add more of the revealing woven stuffs. if none of it is possible, i would probably choose C though i wouldn't mind D. C just looks cool.
Not trying to succumb to peer pressure, but I'll have to agree with them too. D is probably the best but wording on black looks much better than the current one. Thanks Panda
D with the text on black. I don't actually think the carbon fibre looks that good at the 6 o'clock position in the design but combining the design with the photos in my mind I think it would look pretty good in real life.
No more changing please....full steam ahead.. with a resounding approval, i think everyone wants Master Dan to produce the racket ASAP...hmmm..
My vote goes to racket D as well! Shirt looks pretty cool, and the design of it is simple enough that matching shorts can also be easily made. Any word on the panda bag? I could use a new bag
None of the above. For a completely woven racket, I would flaunt the carbon weave with max exposure if I had a choice. Therefore, white letters and graphics as you have done, but without any black paint, only clearcoat. The only parts that may not be the most esthetically pleasing would be at 6 o'clock (where the shaft meets the frame) and the shaft itself (where you have 2 joints due to the triple tapered design). Due to the nature of the joints, these areas have irregular weave patterns, so they are best covered with paint.
Nothing more on the bag and shirt for now. The Revelation, here's an updated larger, more detailed image:
I kinda agree with Visor's opinion about giving the bare carbon weave as much exposure as possible! will definitely make the racket visually unique! but from the 4 choices, D gets my vote! ps: my experience with Panda: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1349286#post1349286
D for me tooo it damm nice omg...i hope tt dont come out too soon haha if not my pocket is gonnna have a biggg hole lolx
I like D the most as well, I'd prefer it more without the Revelation written on the top of the frame as I like uncluttered frame designs. Reminds me a bit of the Carlton Airblade superlite. Any plans to incorporate any mention of what the racket is made of anywhere on the design. eg "Ultra Woven graphite". Kind of like the "ultra carbon technology" written on the trinity 1. Seems a shame to use the material then not advertise it anywhere Then again I quite like gimmick free as well... The designs are getting better with each new racket, although I prefer the t2 colours personally. Just hope they play as good as they look!
Now if the Revelation does not have so much paint covering its beautiful carbon weave, it may just look better than it plays!
First post! Only registered to say thanks to Dink for making these rackets! Least I can do is try and give them a review... I'm a modest casual player, trying to get into a League club. I am probably able to hold my own in a Buckinghamshire League 3 team if that helps anyone. My usual setup is an AT800 Technique strung at 22lbs. I purchased one of the last Trinity's (version 1) which was 83g and BP 283mm, strung at 26lbs. Despite the reduced sweet spot from the tension, the sheer balance and lightness of this racket improved my game in every way. Playing Doubles I had control at the net, power at the back and speed to return shots I would never have reached with my previous racket. However, playing singles, I was unable to clear easily when forced out of position and my upper arm was killing me the day after 3 hours of singles. I've also purchased two Trinity II's. The first is 85.5g, 288mm, 24lbs and chosen to be my singles racket. I haven't played enough with it yet but it feels like there's a load of power there that I haven't reached for, whilst still being very stable. The second is 85.5g, 284mm and 22lbs. Again it hasn't had much play yet but my general observation is that it unleashes its power much more easily than the AT800 while remaining quick to manoeuvre. I would love to have one of these at the extreme weight of my T1! I bought my rackets and had them strung by Mark @ Appleton Strings and he was incredibly helpful in finding rackets from the stock that would meet my requirements. Given the variety of weight and balances in the manufacturing a 'Trinity' is not a specific racket. You can find one to meet most requirements so long as you like the basic design and stability/flex. i.e. I've reviewed (as best I can so far) my own rackets. Yours will be your own experience! Now what's this about a 'Revelation'???
I just bought a panda power Ultra from a badminton central user today. Played with it for 3 hours. When I took it out of the cloth bag it felt really light! Maybe around the same weight as my Armortec 900T. The racquet looked totally awesome when I was standing there on the court and I phased out on the court just by looking at it. Panda Power Ultra II 85.2g without strings and overgrip 285mm balance Strung with BG65 at 20lbs Defense was pretty good since it was light and I could return most of the shots. The first few couple of smashes were off but once I got that sweet spot it just flew like no tormarrow. After the game was over my arm was sore but I been sore for couple weeks now because I got the flu shot in my right arm Overall for 3 hours of play this racquet was AWESOME! Totally worth the discounted price I paid. I kinda wanna change the strings to BG-80. Right now my go to racquet is strung at 28lbs and my nano whites are at 30lbs. So I'm guessing 24lbs on the ultra or it'll be too stiff right?
