    This is good to know as I'm using Toray and based on the informal testing I have done, I like Toray best too.

    Panda is not convinced going with the highest modulus is the best for badminton rackets. In fact, the best, most durable rackets Panda has used have been around the 30T and 40T range which is relatively low modulus.

    The 50T and higher modulus rackets have consistently broken faster because they are stiffer and eventually over flex, crack or crumble.

    Also, due to the stiffness, these high modulus graphites make the player more prone to injury.

    Anyway, again, Panda is no expert in materials but based on Panda's racket and shaft breaking experience, relatively lower modulus, specifically Toray's M30GC is much more durable.

    Hi DinkAlot,

    Wow, simply wow. Once in production, would appreciate it if you can post the prices, specifications and delivery charges to Malaysia :) I would be very interested to find out more. Thank you.

    The shipping should be minimal as I plan to have a distributor in Malaysia.

    I already have sources in the US, UK, Canada, China, Denmark and Singapore.

    that would be his name.

    I may be interested in trying them depending on the final specs :)
    perhaps these will replace costlier ti 10 s

    PS: they might go to the evil empire's engineer lab....

    nah, that's not true, the thread on the NS9900 is way longer than this.

    probably less eagerly anticipated though.

    And Panda didn't even reveal that much yet. :p

    Sketchy (on BC) did all the design work and here's his "artistic impression" of the rackets:
