    I think so, too....at least Victor's biggest factory in in Nanjiang, and Li Ning is made in China as well, of course....some others (like Flypower) are made elsewhere in Asia, but they're hardly big companies. The actual racket production is pretty easy, I remember a threat mentioning that somewhere in the forum...the science is in researching & producing the different carbon materials, and that's not done by the manufacturers themselves. (Yonex is always bragging about their "new technology", but essentially, it's mostly just different racket profiles, or, in case of the Voltrics, adding Tungsten to the frame - pretty much the same as lead tape, nothing to brag about imop).

    Back to topic - "made in China" doesn't have to mean it's cheap quality, especially not in badminton :D

    Ohhh, and the TPro specs look nice. Pretty close to ideal for me :)

    I think Yonex has a contract with another company for their nanopreme tech
    so yeah, Yonex is actually do not do the research by themselves

    not in badminton, and also not in tennis too

    pretty much everything that we use nowadays are made in China, Cambodia, India, and Indonesia right?

    I thought the racket is already in panda's cave
    panda really like to tease us by giving photo from manufacturer

    even the laptops or keyboards that we use to type every words inside this forum are made from China..
    no need and no reason why we have to be skeptical for Made in China stuff. :p

    No, don't misunderstood me. I know that it's cheaper in China, but what I meant is I thought the factory is in US. :p Man the flag at the shaft made me confused. :p Oh so, the manufacturer is from China while the design is from the US?

    badminton is practically a china sport, so rackets made in china makes perfect sense

    yes, panda power rackets are made in china, but designed in usa, by a made in taiwan panda! :p

    Sir, Panda was made in the U.S.A. and has never been to Taiwan. Has been to China twice.

    What duh? Some? Panda is fluent in Mandarin. All Panda's are.

    Panda even watches Jin Yong's Chinese Kung-Fu Soap Operas. :D

    Isn't Mandarin the main language in China? Obviously Panda MUST know Mandarin or he is not a Panda. :p

    Oh and just to tell you guys -- HOORAY! I got 6 paint chips on my T2! :D

    You can try contacting Zion Lee, the distributor in South Korea, maybe you can buy from him because KR and JP is pretty near.

    Nah, the first 4 chips got their way onto my T2 when I lend it to my friend. I told him not to drag the racquet on the base, because it's an outdoor court, and there's no carpet on it. And the other 2 chips got their way when I'm so mad that I accidentally smashed my friend's racquet. A pretty big chip too. Luckily it doesn't hit the word "Trinity" at the frame. All these chips are at the frame. I feel like wanna cry at that time but I said to myself, "well, people who really devotes themselves into badminton will get paint chips on their racquets since they're using it to the fullest potential, but not in my case. :(".

    I hope there are no more paint chips after this because my mad was so mad. She said, "You bought this racquet for an expensive price but why it can get paint chips easily?!"

    Haha.

    I also lend my new racket to my friend and said, "do not drag it on floor"
    and they know my racket is new and never drag it haha..
    and it would not be a problem for Tpro and Upro since they don't have any paint job on frame

    tell your (mom? because you put "mad" o_0) that even the most expensive racket around like Yonex would have paint chips easily (because they use lighter paint but the durability is poor)

    Oh yeah, that was a typo. It's "mom". And I do tell her that even LCW must have paint chips on his racquets, even my big bro support me, haha. Then she said, "Then why your father's Cab 8 doesn't have any paint chips when I clashed it with my friends racquets?" I take a wild guess and said, "because the paint job is black and the frame's texture is also black." Since the Cab 8 is very old, you can barely see it's paint job and it's raw frame has marbling texture.

    I also said to my friends, next time buy TPro or UPro since there's no paint job on the frame. Haha.
