    things seem a bit slow here so---here's something
    from the un-written book of ----
    -------if Humprey Bogart Played Badminton
    late night—inside—no sounds
    at the far end of a badminton court,
    we see 3 new Racquets—
    the camera pans closer---and we hear--

    ---of all the lousy clubs and gin joints and
    badminton courts in the world you had to
    pick mine----well if you’re not on that court
    when they begin to play---you’ll regret it
    if not now---but later---and for the rest of
    you life---it’s not hard to understand that
    the lives of 3 persons on this court don’t
    measure up to a normal set of Doubles—
    so come on Sam—--you played w/ her—why can’t you
    play w/me? “Oh, I don’t know what you’re talking
    about boss”
    Yes, you do--—pick up that Revelation,
    Trinity or ultra-Pro and play a few games for ole
    time sake—--Smash it Sam—--Smash it again—
    Smash like we were back in Paris—--if she can
    take and return it ---well ----so can I—
    aaah here’s hitting a bird at you kid---

    I think kwun has probably already called shotgun (appropriately, for a 308/3U);).

    i will leave that to some younger player who more deserve such a power racket.

    i did play with canti's TPro yesterday. only managed like 10 shots of it and the lighter head balance wasn't my cup of tea. will wait for the heavier one to arrive.

    Adapt you must, young padawan. Great power, the reward will be. Fast around the net and midcourt, you will become.

    Having broken the strings on my usual 298mm TP, I played with the 291 one yesterday and was suprised by the power. Really better than what I expected (adapting took only ~30-40min), although the feeling on drop shots and blocks is much better with the head heavier one.

    You people are mental! My 269 is one of the most powerful rackets I've ever owned:D.

    TPro shipment is now in USA and should be being shipped to me on Monday come what may - any more pre-orders?

    Heheh. Some of us need more help from the racket ;) Although I noticed my smashes seemed to be a bit better with the lower BP one.....but the control is better with the head heavier one, which is why I'll probably stick with it for singles. My smashes aren't really instant winners there and I'd rather make 4 less mistakes on drop and net shots each than hit 4 winners more with smashes :D

    can't wait to play with my Tpro again..
    1 month without badminton.. :(

    last time I played with it I had a good time (double for 2 hours)
    but I notice the Tpro head heaviness when I switch with the Arcsaber 008
    now I understand the meaning head heavy, not too fast, but it packs a punch

    If you ordered with Mark, probably in 1-2 weeks, otherwise you might have to wait a bit - there's usually no reserve stock.

    The TPro shipment for EU should be being shipped to me later today, and we're trying an express delivery service that should have them with me in 3 - 5 working days +, possibly, customs.

    I have my own stuff coming this time, so I'm as eager as all of you to get going:D.
