    the one that intrigued me most is the titan. mr panda once said that it will featured slim shaft and slim frame too. i'll wait patiently for that one and put my wallet away 'till it's been released :D

    Correction or update (probably sounds better): TiWoven Frame, integrated woven frame (titanium mesh and woven graphite = stronger) and 100% woven shaft.

    Time frame: in the final stages. Will announce something when production starts, maybe 2 months away.

    I might have to hold off on buying my 2nd MX80 to see what the revelation is like :)
    I have a 3u MX80 and I absolutely love it. I still go back to the TPro but hopefully the Revelation is closer to a MX80 (fingers crossed).

    Cool. I can't wait to own my first PP racket. :D Just gotta decide which one I want. Proabably the Revelation if it can look as sexy as the Yonex Cab 50. :cool:

    I'm hoping the Revelation will be as stiff as MX80 or NS9900 with an even-balance head. And in my preferred specs of 3UG5. I want this baby to be my doubles racket. :D

    I would have been interested but having just spent all my leftover pennies on two second hand TPros to replace of the ones the never made it to Aus I don't really have any money for it. Would have loved it though, ultra shaft with trinity head is my idea of the perfect racquet...

    did anyone experience the same with me? just changing my towel grip after 2 month of usage,n the paint in the cone area is peel off. oh my,i just ruined my trusted tpro :( for additional info,my tpro is the 1st batch with black/yellow colorway. i hope mr dink may notice to use a better painting for the next upcoming pp racket,especially at the cone area.
    TIA

    Well I know towel grip tape can get pretty sticky so I wouldn't be surprised if the tape came off.
    Mine still looks like it's in one piece thou.

    If your paint came off from under the grip... Wouldn't re-gripping it just... you know cover it up anyway?

    Well I've experienced the same paint in the cone area right where it meets the shaft as being "flaky." Though it's coming off without the change in the grip. It's not a huge deal because my other racket does the same thing since the force of the shaft on the cone often cracks the paint and causes it to chip. Or you saying that the paint came off with the grip? I'll have to check next time when i change my grip but thus far I haven't had that specific issue.

    I only experienced the graphics on the cone peeling off my Ultra 2's. But I don't tend to wrap my grip that high anyways. So all my other rackets are still looking sharp.
