    i think gold might be ok if it is not the bling bling type of gold. a more muted yellowish one is ok.

    agree that blue is a bit boring, esp when blended with black. the Carlton looks nice partly because they added in a lot of accents.

    Think Tangerine hue..... gold/orange :D

    Subtle but great contrast.....Sketchy could make it rock if he got the
    right shade.

    I think the colour for "trinity" word is too bright?

    So the frame of the Trinity Pro is just really plain black because it affects the overall aerodynamics of the racket?

    Yes, but mostly better feel.

    Go back 2-3 pages to read Dink's explanation.

    Agree.
    "Trinity" should be like "Pro" but in reverse. Ie with the centre part blacked out instead. More subtle and less in your face.

    So, Dink:
    Is the T Pro going to swing the same as the T2?

    If I want the TP to be same as the T2, should we get the same spec? Or is it going to be like the U Pro, which swings 1.5 g heavier than it's U2 equivalent.

    Goodness. The color scheme makes me want one. I'll wait to see some real life photos from the Panda Cave first.

    I still think the lettering should be made much smaller. It's a bit too loud. Maybe "TRINITY PRO" should be reduced to the same font size as "PANDA POWER"

    The Pro will swing about the same as the T2.

    It could use a little loud in there. I think the combination is spot on with the brighter Trinity (whether actually yellow or gold? :D) [​IMG].

    The image Dink posted is for the manufacturer's use - the colors are made to be easily distinguishable, but not necessarily accurate (we provide them with the precise Pantone color references separately).

    Text is the same size as on the T2, with the exception of "panda power", which is somewhat smaller. It will also use the same kinds of paint finish as the T2.

    Think it is fine but :D [you know it was coming] Trinity should have trinity spelled inside it
    using a finer black line to make it more in keeping with the black frame. Other than that put me down for 2 84-85g's bp 285. :)

    I don't personally think that would look good, but obviously you're welcome to your opinion.
    More to the point, the factory would either refuse to even attempt that kind of fine detail, or they'd try it and completely balls it up (by which I mean, fail to achieve a level of precision that would satisfy Dink).

    I already think the "panda power" was already too small, preffered it slightly bigger. All well.
