    I don't think I want a woven PP if there is no significant improvement
    wait and see if Panda can find a good shaft for Revelation

    I say what the people want is a good Woven racket for a reasonable price. The Fleet Woven rackets are cheap, but not very good (IMHO). The SOTX woven rackets are great, but pretty pricey (Esp the 16!).

    If panda makes a racket that plays at least as good as the good SOTX ones at a reasonable price it will be a winner.

    But then again it doen't matter what it is made of, if it plays well!

    What exactly is Woven? And what's so special about it?

    I had a SOTX Woven 11, great racket. How does the UPro compare to this?

    Honestly, if the woven plays just 10% better but costs $50 dollars more I would stay with the TPro.

    Save money on paint ;). Just a clear finish, no markings at all (no PPR, DC BAD) ... woven stealth. Leave out the stock grip as well :D

    do not ask the price first, because if you know the price you may not want to buy it ....

    If, that's a big IF the Revelation is produced, the street price will be about $150 - 165 USD.

    If possible lower.

    thanks for the info ... hope your info will clear the mind of people in Malaysia which still think that Panda Power is a cheap racket.

    Wow! That's quite good for a fully woven. I'd get a few if you manage to make it play at least 25% better than T2/T Pro as you said. :D

    But why is it so hard to get the right shaft to match? Is it because fully woven shaft is too stiff or kick-point is hard to design?

    If so, perhaps a non-woven shaft will match better?

    i am expecting for the price to be around rm500. which is probably usd$ 150 or so.
    guess i am right. haha...
    i am thinking of getting either a ns9900 or a panda racket in few months time.
    now waiting for the revelation to come out and hear bout the reviews first. haha
    currently own a T200 which is really good for the price...
