    Well, there goes my weekend ;)

    Finally - what we've all been waiting for. I have to do my "day" job on Thursday and Friday, so the process of separation and stringing will commence on Saturday. I will be contacting people in the following order:

    1. People who have paid Dink directly;
    2. People who have left deposits with me;
    3. People who have "registered interest" and given me a spec to aim for.

    I've paid the (exorbitant) customs, so the rackets sould turn up some time tomorrow afternoon. May I once again thank you all for your saintly patience;).

    M.

    I apologise to Iceland and all its inhabitants for my (that Scottish guy's) outburst.

    I sent an email saying I would like to put a deposit down, but you didn't reply with whether or not you had enough racquets left :confused:

    Tom,

    If I can find that email, you will go into the depositors list - sorry about the confusion, but there are so many "maybes" that I lose track after the first 50. Can you tell me the date you sent it if you still have a copy?

    hi mark, I sent it on 23 apr 21:28 so I guess it's quite-late-in-the-day anyway :). I'll pm you with a bit more specific detail.

    thanks

    Dan, is there currently a PP model which is designed to have excessive head heavy balance at around 300mm plus (no less) BP, while being light weight ala AT700 (old colour), AT800OF and AT900P?

    That's quite funny in a way, because instead of taking 4 weeks to go from China to California to UK to HK, it would have only taken a few hrs for it to be driven from Southern China to HK! :p:D

    310mm [plus and not minus] BP and 84g? That's definitely worth waiting for.

    ...it's 2:11am here in Anaheim, California, USA...

    ...it's 9:11am in St. Helens, UK...

    ...Mark is waiting for his shipment of rackets and stated it would be there today...

    ...so Panda stays online with Mark and they both wait for the package to arrive...

    ...it's there! :D

    The things we (DC Badminton Distributors) do for you (the customers)... :p ;)

    Just kidding, that's the way it should be. :)

    By the way, they ARE even better looking in person;).

    yup its ironic in a way, but im quite satisfied as its a replacement for a broken racket + if it was shipped from china straight to me, panda wouldnt be able to inspect the racket.
