    Racket case

    Bluecraze07: we did not design the racket case. However every racket does comes with a dust-free carrying case which can be store comfortably in any racket bags.

    Panda Power rackets have ariived in NorCal

    I got a shipment from Dinkalot for northern californian's interested in demo-ing and trying out the new Panda Rackets. Im a regular at GGBC Menlo Park and GGBC Emeryville, however I do play at many other clubs including BBC, Bintang. Please feel free to PM, email, or IM me if you're interested in just trying them out. I'm always open to meeting more members and of course more players and enthusiasts. Send emails to illusionistpro(at)gmail(dot)com

    So far my impressions are:
    The Ultra is a super beefy racket and it hits hard. I cant unlock its full potential, but I can still get some decent power out of it. The racket doesnt jeopardize defense at the cost of its power, and I think thats partially because this racket is still fairly light, most of the ones I got seemed to be 3U around 88g. The paint on this racket seems to be inspired a little by the arc saber 7, but only in looks. The black racket has white and yellow highlights and there's a subtle purple sparkle on the frame that gives it a undertone of finesse, but the yellow highlights make it look rather aggressive. This racket swings heavy, and according to the post's here can take a whole lot of tension. I'd say this racket is for heavy hitters, or singles players. It seems best for people with a short stroke, however I have a long stroke myself and I can't still drop some bombs with it.

    The Trinity is a great all around racket perfect for doubles. It is definitely reminiscent of the old-Ti10, which packs a good punch but still has fast transition to defense. The power on the Trinity is definitely not lacking. Like the Ultra this racket seems to be underweight, yet still has adequate power. Shaft on this racket is medium stiff and would be good for fast rallies. The paint on the Trinity doesn't look like much in the pictures, and Ill be the first to say I wasn't feeling the color scheme until I saw the rackets. The Trinity has an old school feel with its bolder red tone on a black shaft with less expressive white highlights. I'd consider the Trinity a strong racket with an old school feel. Its a solid no frills racket that wont leave you disappointed.

    Overall, im very impressed with both rackets. I play both doubles and singles, focusing on singles. I was previously using a Chao Pai 728, which was great, and I loved it, but it left me yearning for just a little more racket. The Trinity will surely fill its place nicely. :p

    Thanks Old One, Panda was going to ask you to clean up this thread and change the name but you are Master Jedi and know Panda's thoughts. :D

    By the way, I only strung it at 35lbs. I was going to do 40 but that would be a bad joke. :p

    Yup, removed the 'Thunder' from the title as it is redundant.
    By the way, I have sent an email to dcbadminton :)
