    The BP290-300+ TPros should be shipping to Panda in about 4-5 days. :D

    I think its kind of ironic that Panda has the rackets shipped to him (USA) from China, all while people in Asian and south east Asia have to wait twice as long even though they are being made in their own backyard :p GO USA!

    Dan, I forgot to tell you, I finally broke 1 of the 3 Chao Pai Nano Power 728 that I bought from you years ago! I couldnt connect with the T1's or T2's, but I used a couple very stiff rackets the other night and it was amazing! I'm finally ready for a stiffer racket :p

    Kwun, are you going to get a Tpro?
    It would be fun to compare Tpro with VT80, BS10, SW35 and MX80

    got my Tpro just now,
    first impression, this racket is pretty impressive
    got mine 84.8 gram 295mm
    it feels pretty solid when I swing it

    will try it tomorrow or on Saturday

    some photos (Sorry for crappy photos :p)

    Does the Tpro have a flex shaft? or is it as stiff as the Upro? :eek:

    Tpro is more flexible than Upro
    Tpro: 7.8 ~ 8.2
    Upro: 7.5 ~ 7.7
    *the greater the number, the more flexible it is
    but I think the Tpro is still pretty stiff

    http://www.ibuysports.com/badmintoninfosheet.html

    SOTX stiffness chart:
    8.0 extra stiff
    8.5 stiff
    9.0 medium stiff
    9.5 flexible

    and as you can see the Tpro is in extra stiff area
    the Upro should be ultra stiff then :p

    Anyone knows the stiffness of Yonex rackets to have a comparison (NS 9900, Voltric, Z Slash ..)?

    Cheers :)

    Never got a answer to my question before, so I'll just give it a go again, with an update.
    Now nearly half of my lower grommets (the ones sticking out of the frame) have their top broken off, but seems to remain intact down in the frame. Is this a problem?

    Best you take an image and send it to your Distributor.

    This goes for everyone; that's what your Distributor is for, to service you.

    sorry, I don't know about it..
    but from what I read, NS9900 is the stiffest out of three

    maybe someone who has Tpro and these three rackets can help us about this? :D

    The TPro is noticeably stiffer than the Z-Slash and more powerful. Mine felt just as quick, but that's due to lower weight and BP, I guess. It's also more controlled (as the head is bigger).

    Got back earlier than expected from my holiday so now keenly awaiting some racquets (and hopefully not a red card) in the early days of next week, excitement indeed.
