    I see. Well I wanted to see if there would be a delay due to the change in color scheme, even though it isn't a major design change

    Well the rackets have to be manufactured first before the design is applied, so the production was probably not delayed. Design looks awesome by the way - can't wait to get mine :D

    Your right, you posted the better picture while I was slowly typing away. Now that I zoom in and see the white/gold in the print it looks great. In the other picture it just looked all the same color so didn't inspire me. Is there a technical name for that shade of gold or is a trade secret ?

    I have a question about panda power bp
    for panda power racket, which bp do they consider head light, even balance, and head heavy? (for example 290+ is heady heavy?)

    Had a look at your full size image, very nice. Colours, fonts, and all.

    What's that yellowish gold called? Sunset yellow? Golden honeysuckle?

    Panda's approximate definition of racket balance:

    BP275 or less = Very Head Light
    BP276-280 = Head Light
    BP281-285 = Balanced
    BP286-290 = Moderately Head Heavy
    BP291-300 = Head Heavy
    BP301 or more = Very Head Heavy

    Looking at those bp ranges, 4-5 mm deltas don't seem to be much, but they are definitely noticeable when swinging, especially in mens doubles where speed of defense and power of attack must be balanced and chosen wisely.

    Good on Panda for his years of R&D on his rackets!

    thanks for the answer :)
    I'm new to this "choosing racket" thing, and I want a head heavy racket
    what I need to do now is to gather money for the T pro..

    @Visor: It doesn't have a name (that I'm aware of) - just a boring number. I'd call it amber, but then that's not very specific.

    @Dinkalot: I'd have shifted those categories down one. 285~290mm is average; 300~305mm is not uncommon; <280mm is much rarer (mostly cheap and really heavy 1U/2U rackets).

    Yeah it's still somewhat personal although I don't think <280 is that uncommon or +300 common. I roughly go by these (and leaning toward 290 for my even balance one):

    BP275 or less = Very Head Light
    BP276-280 = Head Light
    BP281-285 = Moderately Head Light
    BP286-290 = Balanced
    BP291-295 = Moderately Head Heavy
    BP296-300 = Head Heavy
    BP301 or more = Very Head Heavy

    I'll try to dig out a NS7000 tomorrow and measure ... (never used to bother with measurements even :D)

    Nice colour there. I like the gradient effect or whatever you call it. It's splendid, beautiful man.

    Hi Kevin

    Yes, Trinity Pro will arrive California by late Janurary. If you'd like your T-Pro soon, please pre-order.

    Like they say in Kitchen Stadium "let the battle Begin"

    Ultra Pro's arrived today so strung them up with Victor VS-850 at 23/25


    Will try them out in the next few days against my Precisions to see who stays
    and who go's.

    Ultra's are 91g and 92g strung with 1 rkep overgrip.
    Precisions are 94g and 95g strung with 1 rkep overgrip

    Ultra bp were 298 before string and overgrip
    Precisions were 285 before string and overgrip.

    stay tunes should be interesting......:D

    Look forward to the review ormy4! Although how do you compare such different critters?

    (perhaps some of your racket sale money should go towards a new dining-room table. ;) )

    Go see Post # 3676 & 3677; from a real upset Panda, tired of repeating the same thing.

    This means; don't hold your breath, otherwise, you will never see the true Revelation of Panda's power... ;0)
