Wait, from what string/tension combo to what string? Then we can give you a good BALLPARK measurement, no guarantees though.
Thanks for your input. As for the Revelation, it's at least 3+ months away. I will post more as the time gets closer. As of right now, the initial specs: AT900T frame shape Frame: Woven 40T equivalent (good for 35+lbs tension) Shaft: 40T Stiffness: 8.0-8.5 Weight: 84-86g BP:285-290 Another version, the Ultra Woven is on the horizon too... AT900P frame shape Frame: Woven 40T equivalent (good for 40+lbs tension) Shaft: 40T Stiffness: 7.0-7.5 Weight: 82-85g BP:300-305
I'm sorry, but BG65 at 20 pounds? Its almost pointless to string it with BG80 at a tension lower than that. But if its BG65 at 30lbs or 28lbs, I'd say 27 or 25 lbs with BG80. I was confused over whether it was BG65 at 20 or 30 or 28. Dink, any idea how much the revelation is gonna run? maybe a +/-10 dollar ballpark?
Trying to get my head around what a Rev might end up feeling like. What does the Trinity V2 rate for stiffness? And for comparison's sake... an AT800T if anyone knows?
If the shaft is going to be the same and the only difference is the frame, is there going to be much noticeable advantage in playing with a Rev over a T2?
Everyone please stop asking about the Revelation for now, thank you. As Panda has said before, it's 3+ months out. There's lots of work to be done.
Okay, no more questions. I can't wait til this really gets going and we get some hardcore info. Oh yea, Sir Dink, did you figure out a way to strengthen the handle? So that you don't break any more rackets like you did smashing 30 times consecutively at Halim?
Panda finally had a chance to take some better pictures. These aren't great but good enough for the web (so he thinks). Will take more and update the website sooner than later...
First Impression with T2 Just try the racket 87.9g BP286 during lunch hour in Smash City. 1. It is much easier to get along with after just few shots. 2. The Clear is just a matter of a flick of movement....Excellent 3. Smashes are dead on and accurate. (I do get the huge sound even with ZM70) 4. Drives are flat and powerful 5. Net/ and Drop; need more time to adjust to the string and the shaft stiffness (It strung with ZM70@26lbs) Overall, I am very happy with it and thanks for your design.
My noob Review Here's my review of the T2, just got it a week ago. My T2 is 86.5g at 286mm strung with Zymax 62 @25lbs, at least that's what I think it is. First Impressions: Looking at the racket itself it has a very good paint job, rivals the yonex I've seen. Picking it up, it felt extremely light and a slight head-heaviness, not alot though. Warm-up: Woah this thing swings fast and I mean FAST! The swing speed is comparable to a NS9900 if not faster. The racket is pretty flexible, maybe a little too flexible for my tastes. The clears were great, not as good as with my T1 though. Maybe it was because my T1 was at 89g and 288mm or it was just really cold. I had to play with plastics since my season is about to start. Drives were very accurate and I could hit it so close to the net that it skimmed the top a couple of times. Game time: My underhand high serves were lacking a little depth, but my backhand and flick serves were perfect. Drop shots were prefect, but I think I need a little getting used to for hair pin net shots. Tumbling net shots were fine though. Smashes were like rockets with I hit the sweet spot. Power for the lift was easy to generate. A simple flick was that was needed to send it flying to the back court. Defense was superb, faster than my T1 and comparable to a NS9900. Conclusion: The T2 is a huge improvement over the T1, aesthetically and playability wise. A really light racket that packs a lot of power. I think its just a little too flexible for me, but overall its a great racket for the price. I give it a 9.5/10
So sir dink, I tried to make a DC badminton stencil, and it looks good, real clean and nice, especially in red ink on white string on a T2 (extra free advertising heheh) but the reverse is of course, backwards! I wanted to make one instead with the capital DC letters instead, I think it would work better as a stencil. Does anyone have any better ideas?
