This particular one: 86.0g, BP290 Stiffness: 8.0-8.5 Both shaft and frame: Toray Woven 40T (equivalent) Graphite I strung it at 32lbs. with ZM70 and it felt like stringing a normal racket at 22lbs. I think it can take 40lbs. without too much strain but I don't think the grommets will hold. Will test it on Friday...
Thanks, can do better but Panda thinks that's good enough for the web. Though not perfect, Panda gives it 85-90 out of 100.
It is. A while back, this is what Panda estimated. I believe he wanted the T2 to be like AT700 or 900's stiffness. He says T2 is now 15% less stiff than T1, and similarly U2 is 15% less stiff than U1. (So, now U2 is as flexy as T1) And somewhere a while back, he did mention that the Revelation will be as flexy/stiff as T2.
Yep. See here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1217241&postcount=333 2nd post here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1217234&postcount=330
The stiffness of the T2 is: 8.0 - 8.5 Some updates and more relative info based on Panda's experience below. Panda will add this to the update racket review in a week or so. Shaft Stiffness Range: 7.0 to 10.0, 7.0 = Stiffest, 8.5 = Moderate, 10.0 = Very Flexible Demand Index: how demanding the racket is to use. Range: 1 to 10, 1 = Least, 5 = Average, 10 = Most Demanding Stiffness Range Index: Cab 22: 7.0-7.5 Ultra: 7.0-7.5 RSL X2 Gold: 7.3-7.5 TC700: 7.3-7.8 9000-X: 7.8-8.2 9900: 7.8-8.2 Ti10 1 Gen: 7.8-8.2 Trinity: 7.8-8.2 Ti10 3 Gen: 8.0-8.3 AT700: 8.0-8.5 Trinity 2: 8.0-8.5 Ti10 2 Gen: 8.2-8.5 AT600: 8.8-9.3 MP88: 9.0-9.3 Relative Demand Index: TC700: 10.00 Cab 22: 9.75 RSL X2 Gold: 9.5 Ultra: 9.25 9000-X: 8.25 Trinity: 8.25 Ti10 1 Gen: 8.00 9900: 8.00 Ti10 3 Gen: 7.75 AT700: 7.50 Ti10 2 Gen: 7.25 Trinity 2: 6.50 AT600: 6.00 MP88: 5.00
