    From this angle it reminds me of a top-end Forza;).

    Yeah, or the "equivalent" RKEP 9000 ... Kevar Green & Kevlar Yellow 25.gif

    Would be nice to see a side-by-side with the green prototype [​IMG][​IMG]

    The 2nd shipment came in today and all the rackets are heavier as well.

    This time around, most people wanted BP300-310 so this Panda ordered 290-310; usually the BP is spread evenly but this time, most were 302-308, sorry. :eek::(

    So, plenty of rackets in these specs:

    Weigh: 85.5g-90g
    BP: 302mm-314mm

    So not a lot of 290-295? Am I reading that right? It's probably better (for Mark A's sanity) that my choice is limited :) When he reads this I'll go for a 86/300 as that was a powerhouse in my MX60.
    Thanks for the update.

    So then I was right...

    The L in Kevlar does stand for light version. No L means no light. ;)

    Then to clarify that, next version should come with 'kevHHar' for head heavy :D

    310 Bp not head heavy.enough for you?

    Irrelevant question, but why did you order a second batch of misprints? Just wondering about the manufacturing process that's all.

    ditto..

    Will the next next shipment of hopefully lighter head weights come with correct spelling or you're trying to keep it all the same?:confused:

    The misprints were in two separate shipments, not ordered twice.

    Was able to test mine yesterday and more today. Amazing racquet! 305bp with strings and Yonex replacement grip. Strung at 26lbs with Zymax 65....yellow. Great power and maneuverability and control. Perfect for singles and doubles.
