    Racket graphics:

    You could have a black and white paint job like the colour of a panda. Black on the 10 and 2 o'clock areas of the frame, white for the rest of the cone, black at the t-joint section and white for the entire shaft and black again for the cone. You could name your racket something like "PANDA POWER". As for paint type you could use gloss.

    I was playing with Coach Don and the broke while smashing in a competitive match. Everyone was laughing pretty hard. :p

    Once the reviews are up you'll see, the NP9900 is superior in just about all aspects. That's all, nothing much to compare.

    Yes, the racket broke into three pieces at the same time. I have about 20+ witnesses. :eek::p Panda went for a smash, felt the shaft area "cracking". As the smash was finishing, Panda was only holding the handle as the racket head hit the ground. The racket head and the T-Joint area were broken and bent over 270 degrees. Panda picked up the racket head, straightened out the shaft and it separated very easily from the racket. Wish I had a video. ;)

    As for the racket design, need images. :p

    Decided on a name a little while back, it's going to be called the Panda Power "Pandamonium". :p:D:D:D

    Do a Kung Fu Panda special/limited edition one in collaboration with Dreamworks!

    Seriously though, the very first one has got to be black and white -with a panda graphics logo on the butt cap!

    Yeah, I'm pretty bored. How about a bamboo style racket? Fits with the general Panda theme.
    I'm thinking maybe make it the bright green of fresh bamboo though, with a pattern of bamboo leaves on the frame (haven't got that far yet).
    Let me know if anyone wants the 3d racket model I made, to test out their designs.

    Sketchy that is a great bamboo racket.

    so i just came up with a couple more awesome ideas:

    so along with the initial paint scheme i mentioned earlier, my first idea was to have 3 or 4 strips of bamboo coming from the tip of the cone (all bunched together), painted along the shaft, each a different length but not going any further than 75% of the distance between the cone and the T-joint. on the top will be the racket name, "panda power pandamonium." i think the racket name will be just as awesome if kept simply as "pandamonium."

    my second idea was to also have a custom grip to go along with it. this grip would also be b&w, with a panda coat design. BUT, it will be a towel grip, thus adding even more look and FEEL of a panda's coat.

    logo on the T-joint and on the bottom cap of the handle should be a letter P, but with the straight edge of the P being a stick of bamboo.

    Awesome. Well done Sketchy and I hope you win the finished racket Dink is going to give away. I think that maybe a panda on the cone would look quite good.
