I have had my Upro for a few weeks now, will write a review when I have got over these timing issues that I'm having with them, since it seems a tad slower that the T2's i was using before
Not yet having had a go with them yet I can't comment on how my two new Tpros (285 85.4/284 85.5) play but they look great (although it's a shame you ditched the red colour scheme) and feel really good. We shall see. Also indebted to Mark A's patience with delivery requests, great stringing as well. Wasn't convinced about the pink strings at first but it has grown on me, might keep that up if my stringing friend gets his hands on the same ones.

Clearance of Trinity-2 (latest batch) stock : 84.1 / 292 84.3 / 292 84.4 / 292 86.1 / 292 86.1 / 292 86.6 / 293 86.2 / 293 87.0 / 295 86.8 / 292 86.3 / 294 85.1 / 292 (there is a small paint chip) PM me for more information .... special price for whoever bought any Panda Power brand from me ...
If anybody else wants any... yes, I will. I'm ordering on an as-needed basis on this occasion - I'm actually adding these TPros to an order of stuff for my personal use from Dink, so there will be no spares this time. The shipment should be with him in the next couple of days, so anybody who wants any TPro should get hold of me now with specs - I'm bringing three in at the moment but there is no upper limit.
I wanna replace the grommets on my U2.Because there are marks of strings eating into the frame and yeah the grommets are pretty worn out.I was considering the yonex six continuation grommets but which of these are compatible with the U2? http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=891
Me and my friend ordered a batch of rackets and tested them in a 3,5 hour session on Tuesday (as I was physically unable to train hard). Those were the Victor SIW36, AT900T&P, VT80, N55, N70, N50II. I also gave him my 84,8/298 TPro to test. As some already know, I'm a Li Ning fan and played mostly with the N70 and N50II last season so there's no bias. After the first hour, I was already dead sure about my 3 favorites (TPro>SIW36>AT900T), whereas he took another hour. His opinion after the first drill with the TPro: it was the best of all 8 by a clear margin. Clears were effortless - which REALLY surprised my as I had it strung with a 26lbs BG66 whereas he normally plays with a 23lbs BG80. Drops were accurate (much to my annoyance - sometimes they were so close to the net I couldn't lift them out) and the netplay was good as well, which is like 80-90% of whats important in a singles racket (at our level at least). His only objection to it was the availability in Germany (compared to the others which normally arrive 2 days after ordering). In case any are doubtful about their ability to play with this racket - he is a high beginner/low intermediate player who started badminton again a year ago. His technical abilities are noticeably below mine, and still he was able to play with this racket effortlessly. I'll try and do a review about my new one soon, although time is very limited right now (with University starting again and me playing XD and MD on the weekend, there's not much left...)
To buy, or not to buy: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous Yonex, Or to take arms against a sea of U-Pros, And by opposing end them? To buy: to weep; No more; and by a weep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That Armortec is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To buy, to weep; To weep: perchance to scream: ay, there's the rub; For in that weep of buying what screams may come When we have shuffled off this Zymax coil, Must give us pause. There's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. With apologies to Willie (not Weed Willie; the other one...)

Sorry for the confusion-- and the bad attempt to quote Shakespeare on the Seven Stages of a Badminton Players Life--- this was a reply to cobalt's take on Hamlet
