    UK/EU order is here

    The UK/EU order will be with me tomorrow, so buyers - have your wallets ready;).

    I'll start by stringing for those who've pre-paid, and then rackets will be strung and shipped in payment order.

    Many thanks for you patience!

    NEWSFLASH:

    In a surprise move, DC Badminton - Panda Power executives have shocked the badminton world by sponsoring Leon Gunawan, eldest son of Tony & Eti Gunawan.

    Panda Power Manager Dinkie Panda stated, "Even though Leon is only three, we feel he has the potential to be a top badminton player and wanted to secure Leon as a future spokesperson for Panda Power Rackets. And since Leon already likes Pandas, we think this partnership will be a great fit."

    Below is the first glimpse of the top secret mini Ultra Pro designed specifically for Leon:

    OK, so Panda doesn't have the funds to sponsor the father, might as well get the son... :p

    do I sense a recycled UPro from a shaft injury? If so what an epic use of an hors de combat racquet. :D

    No, because just finished making the racket a few hours ago. Will give to Leon in about 10 hours.

    Oh, been getting some serious e-mails inquiring...attention all, this is a joke, supposed to be taken tongue-in-cheek. :p

    Yes, giving the racket but not really sponsoring.

    Do you ever sleep?????

    You should think about him, when you will develop your shirts and bags.... a mini of each for the kid and use them for pictures to advertise....

    With the Panda as a tutor, he might become a bigger star then his father.... ;o)

    He would be following Panda that is already a star, ain't there a new movie on the set: Kung Fu Panda 2.... he has all the talent....

    I think with those small rackets the specs dont matter at all. A kid so small it needs a smaller racket will not be able to bend any shaft, it's more about having fun on the court at that age. I think training doesn't normally start until they're 5 or 6, and even then the only important thing is that the racket isn't too heavy to prevent injury.

    Gosh, I am jealous.

    But for a Panda racket, you should have gone for a black and white theme :p

    Have consulted with my attorney's Bill and Char.G Dacordingly and they have confirmed the acquisition of said sponsorship from one Mr L Gunawan.
    Can't go into detail but involved skittles, a wading pool, and kittens.

    May be inclined to sell said sponsorship so open to offers. Special attention will be given to dining room tables.

    On the other hand, no Asian with mentionable success - muscle is more important in that sport than anything else^^

    Tpro is an all around racket
    precision is more about speed
    Upro is more about power
    revelation is in development stage

    I believe Tpro or Upro is more suitable for you if you are looking power and control
    PM Mark for Tpro as he has some right now, I think
