    Excellent effort, Dink. Thanks for that. I'm amazed at how many Apacs rackets get the panda gold seal of approval.

    Thanks for the review Dan. People asked for the review now its out more questions so sorry your in a no win situation.

    Like he has said in the past its all subjective so look at the ratings and guage it to rackets you have used for a reference. Having the pleasure of meeting him just note a few things about our peaceful Panda. He is built like a big linebacker hence Panda is a good name. He strings high at over 28 lbs and has an interesting smash that generates nice power and torque. How things feel to someone who weighs 150 lbs and strings at 21 lbs compared to someone who weighs 235 lbs with 28 may be totally quite different.

    For myself it points out rackets to keep my eye on and try if the opportunity permits . So thanks again for the good work. :):D:)

    Thanks Demo, I should pay you to be Panda's Director of Badminon Relations. However, shipping badminton equipment to the Netherlands is quite expensive these days. ;):p...:D:D:D

    The PPP's are being redesigned. Your incredibly dense, over-speced PPPs are on the way but delayed because Panda got sick and couldn't ship them as promised, so sorry, mea culpa, Panda owes Master Pete one...wait...

    ...did Panda get an IM while away? Master Pete is getting a C-7030?!?!?! :eek::eek::eek:

    Quite surprised that arcsaber 10 is not on your list. But it's just a guide, individual players may have different preference.

    The Arc Saber 10 is on my list of tested rackets # 96, just not a recommended one. The one I had was a 2U, the shaft was far too flexible to sustain the head which was head heavy. It had good power but no control.

    It was far too flexible and head heavy for my tastes and the feel was funny, not solid. One of the rare Yonex disapointments for me.

    Wow, the racket review still isn't up?!?

    I'm assuming Dink grew frustrated and gave up...

    Uhhhh? You assume wrong. :p

    Check Post # 455.

    BC Admin is updating the original post, Panda has no control over it.

    So what's your opinion on the Nano Power 900 red? Would you prefer that one over the Nano Power White for offense or is it basicly the same feel?
