    Awesome! The P Pro frame design along with the exposed grommets is an excellent one! Order me up 2x 87-88g bp 295mm!! :D

    Mine should be here just in time... to be a couple of days late for my tournament this Saturday. Bah!

    Still, testing should be done in a controlled environment. Probably for the best:).

    With the Revelation will a head heavier racket allow the shaft to flex a little more.

    Please think about that for a moment, everything else being equal: yes; and that goes for any racket.

    Great news, it seems that the lack of stock on the PPro will allow me to take this new toy instead :p

    I'll go for 2 revelation at 87gr weight and 297mm BP please

    Would love to try one of these. 87-88g / 285-290mm BP I think would be my preference.

    Panda bamboo is getting pricier. :(

    The fully woven frame and shaft cost is significantly more.

    The other rackets, non-woven stay the same. :D

    If you just are willing to sacrifice [your baby's college fund] then you can have all the toys you [don't really] need! :rolleyes:

    Is there a promotional price for Canada? ;)

    My preference would be 86-87g / BP 290-300mm.
