    I guess the Panda isn't sleeping enough :D

    Thanks, tanleels, for the 'correction'.

    PS: I'm on my second Ultra @ 33 pounds... and, boy, this thing can smash!

    Got another chance to try out the Panda power trinity again today.

    Initial feel
    The trinity was pretty hard to control. Felt that the swing speed seems to be very fast. Power was decent, control was :(

    Now
    Got a chance to play with the trinity for a 2hours session straight. Had the same problem as the first time i tried. After 30mins of playing with it, the racket grew on me. Control was good, power was great, defense was good! Should be the getting used to. Excellent racket, very fast swing speed through the zone.

    Great racket Dan!:)

    This thing is a smashing beast!!! NGY-95 @ 35 X 37 is so good (in Panda's voice)!!! Strangely, the Ultra is quite easy to handle.

    It's supposed to be friendly (relative to the rackets you used to use). I'm making it even more friendly, relatively speaking. :D

    Did you use padding material for the 41 lbs string job? I think I see padding material attached to the shoulder supports.

    Yep, I use clear polyurethane tubing. It's got good padding and most importantly, grips the frame to prevent it from slipping.

    Will be uploading a video of the Panda doing some warm-up stuff tonight or tomorrow. Nothing special just many people asking what Panda does to warm-up.

    no doubt soon enough we'll have the ability to. The real question is who will be able to utilize such madness?
