However it fast it takes USPS and Malaysian Post to deliver it. ' USPS states 6-10 days so I figure around December 26 - December 31st. But of course everything depends on customs.
I came up with a tentative racquet design (in my head) if Sketchy could post a blank template on a non-black background...
Uhhhhh, creating a blank template/background is the easiest thing to do. Tentative racket design in your head is not really a working design. You need to have something designed on paper, something concrete because we cannot see or imagine what you are seeing.
Hey dink, if my current main racket weighs 97g and has a BP of 293 what sort of specs should be looking for in a unstrung un gripped T2? If you have a identical or similar racket to these specs please put them in the Aus/nz distributors shipment! Thanks
Do you mean the total weight of your racket with string and added overgrip? If modified the grip, how many overgrips and how high up did you grip it? to the start of the cone? End of the cone? To the shaft? I assume one overgrip over the existing grip to the start of the cone. If so, then you would need about an 87.0g swing weight, BP295 racket. I think I have a few like that.
Update: after lots of testing, on the T2, we have listed the "swing weight" rather than the actual weight on the label of each T2 racket. The reason for this is because the racket plays about 1.0g to 1.5g heavier than the stated weight. Panda should have done this with the Ultra as well but did not. Will do so in the future. Panda wants to keep things as consistent as possible so everyone has a good baseline. In the future, we will list the actual weight and approximate swing weight for all rackets. Yes, more work but if we can provide better service, we'll do it.
Yes, exactly, which is why I need an image of a blank frame to put my design on. However it's probably disingenuous of me to expect Sketchy to provide a template for this young upstart to use when I'm posturing like I can do a better design than he can (almost certainly not!) Aiya, I'll have a go myself whenever I get the chance.
Yup weight with string and grip. With original grip and one overgrip. I usually grip it to ermm end of the cone? The part just bellow where they put the PBSI sticker and the U and G label on yonex rackets. Is that correct? Is it still 87g and BP295?
Hey Mike, do what I did: get the picture of a Yonex racket from the stringing instructions page (it's a blank frame) and erase the strings from it in Paint or similar - didn't take too long and I was left with a blank frame to play with - I've enclosed my effort, but I'm sure you can do better (say, by changing the grey to white):
I don't mind at all. If you can do better, then fair play to you (and bearing in mind I got an "E" grade in Graphics at school...) Try this link: http://wxjrcg.bay.livefilestore.com...zy1SEUZxRZGqMwUrCV_cEyPnf_KkR_7-x3D/Blank.png
Hey Sketchy, thanks for the blank. I might try to design a racket for a panda power model It's probably not going to be as good as yours...but i'll try...
I think it depends on what your Canadian distributor orders, depending on what he thinks are popular and would easily sell.
BTW what do you want me to put on the racket besides Panda power? (eg. Iso-slim head, etc) What colours do you prefer? (right now i'm using green, to represent bamboo haha)
No text other than Panda Power and the "name" of the racket. Colors are up to you but if you do something silly like bamboo and leaves, it will most definitely not be chosen.
BTW, what does an unpainted graphite racket frame and shaft look like? Kinda greyish silver with fibre texture from the carbon fibre right? If so, can we just clear coat that and that will give us "raw" look! Don't have to worry about paint chipping! There would be no other racket that would look like it! What do you think? Oh, BTW Sir Panda can send a T2 and U2 to me if my suggestion is used...
