    Think I saw that one in a store window today: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3045/3046033542_e285b68694.jpg

    This forum has more leaks than a thatched roof built by Bradley Manning! Admit to nothing Dan. (Unless it's juicy!) ;)

    Sounds like fun :D Although it'll probably already feel a bit 'wobbly' with that high a BP....

    There are always more toys in Panda's cave :D Hopefully, the Revelation is amongst them and close to production...I've waited for what feels like an eternity for that racket. And the design is awfully good...*drool*

    If there already was one I'd like that comment.


    Also now I've played with and got used to my my TPros I'm never looking back, even my poor old battered T2 and the borrowed Precision haven't been touched since I got them...

    Panda did not have it, Panda "made" it. There was a 6.8g piece of lead tape on the handle. Panda removed it and...80.3, BP311.

    Since Panda is using this specific racket, he added some lead tape back onto the handle, it's now ~85g, BP~300.

    I just broke the Z62 string off my TPro racket. I don't know a very credible stringer in our country so I have to ask this question. If I let them string my racket, would they automatically know that they should use the "old" string pattern for the TPro rather than the new one?

    Hi Kevin: any experienced stringer is going to know the TPro string pattern; it's basic.

    It's rather self-explanatory. No one with some experience will do it wrong - it's basically the same as any other brand's pattern (barring exceptions like Babolat).

    But how will one stringer know that he should use the new string pattern, say for example for the Precision?

    I think it is better to ask how many hole in the Tpro, Upro and precision? is it 80? 88?
    then said it to your stringer, they will know how to string it straight away
