    Pro 900 look nice, and also the Excalibur... but do they come with bigger grips?

    can i ask for the price for the trium models and the excalibur? when you said wide body, do you mean the built of the frame is wide or the frame is oversized like Hart? what the recommended tension for all of them and their weight?

    trium

    For Mr.Serasalmus, the frame of trium's is normal, but the new trium 36 , if u look it from the side, it's about 2mm wider than trium 35, but it's not a bigger head like hart, the price in Jakarta for Trium 35 is Rp.340.000,- and Trium 36 is Rp. 360.000,-

    Heard that the pro-900 cost around RP 450000, compared to pro 850 which cost RP 405000, and IF the difference is only the paintjob then the difference is probably a bit much for the country's standard ( RP 45000 = 1 set of BG 66 with stringjob)

    Just got a Pro 850 through a trade, initial impressions tell me this will be one exciting racket to play with. Hopefully I like it. Will tell you what I think about it in a few days

    Played with it for a couple of hours. The racket is quite powerful. Would've been more ideal for me if it was stiffer and a bit head heavy. Defense was a bit lacking, somehow it wasn't quite easy for me to move around with the racket. Overal a very decent racket.

    thanks for the info ......... too bad no Pro 850 when I visited the shop here in Surabaya ....... so I bought Pro 900 instead.

    first impression, I like the color and also very cheap less than SGD 90/racket but no string, only came with bag and t-shirt (but too small for my size).

    will try to string at 28lbs and see how ......

    The Pro 900 is suppose to exactly the same as the Pro 850 and Pro 800, just different colour scheme. What string are you thinking of using? Well after getting it strung, play with it and tel us what you think of it. And mind posting a picture of your Pro 900?

    looks basically the same as the Pro 850 except the red and white is at the bottom near the T-joint instead of the middle of the head in the Pro 850
