Dink the Woven prototype is the most beautiful racket I have seen!! so clean so nice looking with bare woven graphite!! Great looks!! /T
Hi DinkALot, Currently I own a RSL X2 blue and X3 Gold. Would like to ask you how is T2 compared to the 2 of them. I'm doubles player (defininately beginner), not a wristy kind of person. Would T2 be easier to generate power as compared to the 2 of them? Been reading alots of review and looks like T2 is a very good racket! Please advise...sorry for the lengthy questions. Thanks!
sorry for being a noob, visited the website but there is no panda power t2 gommets, umm, which one should we purchase? thanks can't wait for the next batch of t2 to arrive. also what are the advantages / disadvantages of a fully woven racket compare to a non woven.
Grommets: don't worry about them. As a beginner, you're not going to be stringing high tension or hitting hard to stress them much. If you do need them replaced years down the road, your stringer will letyou know and do it for you for a small fee. He'll have the grommets available too.Woven: again as a beginner, don't be overly distracted by all this new tech. It is quite expensive, and you'll likely not notice much difference or advantage.
Interesting! A new index! So, knowing what a 10 racket is like, what characteristics would a 1 racket have? Super flexy? Medium wt? Also wondering aloud: why don't we all play with a low RDI racket all the time? But I guess that would not be challenging and rewarding in mastering a tool?
Unless you production model is exactly the same, can I pre-order your prototype after your done testing and decided to sell.
I was referring to the SOTX woven Power boss series... but that looks awesome. Would you put decals on it if you were to market it??
I'd like to see not much on there, the beauty of the woven graphite essentially speaks for itself. Maybe the essentials, like name of the racket, DC Badminton, etc. But the woven graphite just speaks to the minimalism that permeates badminton.
Dink, did you not say you were against the bare racquet core showing through? I hope you have changed your mind, that looks sweet.
If the RDI is too much, you will get tired faster. If the RDI is too low, the racket will eventually break, for a hard hitter. Very low RDI rackets are designed for beginners. Overall, the ideal RDI is to find the highest RDI racket that you can sustain over a long period of time and drop 1/2 or so, just to be on the safe side. RDI Ideals: Beginner - Beginner: 1-5 Intermediate to Advanced Beginner: 3-6 "D" Level: 4-7 "C" Level to Pro: 5-8.5 Heavy Hitters and MIShitters*: a minimum of 6 *Regardless of level As always, relatively speaking, above "8.0" is very demanding and not realistic for the average player. The majority of the intermediate to advanced players will fall in the 6.0 - 8.0 range. Based on RDI, Yonex is the best. They really know RDI as most of its rackets fall into the ideal RDI range. Victor, Chai Pai, APACs and Kason are good too. Some companies that have the widest range of RDI: Mizuno, SOTX and RSL.
