    Only RM300? THat's less then 100US a racket which is pretty cheap compare to where I could get them. Panda better start the frequent buyer's program asap then if people think his rackets too expensive :p

    1USD = RM3. So yeah, 100USD = RM300. It ain't easy for me to buy something over RM100. Ahaha.

    i have absolutely no problem interchanging ARC10 with the PPP. the UP however has a totally different feel. heavier and stiffer thus creating a different swing feel. i cannot warm up with the ARC10 and play with the UP. i need to warm up with UP and play with UP.

    the UP is a beast though. so freaking powerful. the key is to let it do its job. swing it as fast as you can and just relax and wait for the *KaBOOM*!!

    How much does Yonex cost in Malaysia!? Last time I check it's all RM600-RM900 range for mid to high-end. Which is crazy high, it was on par with Canadian pricing. Most small brand rackets are RM80~RM160. For the price point, I think Panda sits in the middle.

    if you can get RM300 for Ultra, I could buy from you instead of being a distributor.
    please do not talk any non-sense here :mad:

    yes, still the same for today's price for Malaysia (almost similar to Indonesia price).
    Panda Power product is in the range between Yonex and local brand.
    the problem here is buyer from Malaysia still think that Panda Power price is similar to famous local brand price.
    only a few buyer who can buy this product, and in the end they buy another for spare.

    this situation is different from the US, Canada or Singapore as comparison.

    Whoa there, do NOT get mad. I'm talking about myself. Like I said, it's not easy for me to get things over RM100, talk about age, I'm just 14 and I don't think my mother would allow me to buy. Unless if I could convince my mother to buy one, like Ultra or Trinity, then it would not be a problem, at all.

    Oh, I just noticed that we can't edit our posts, so I'll have to double post. Anyone can list the prices for all Panda racquets in RM? Thank you. :)

    Sir, you need to contact Ansar as the exchange rate may fluctuate, and may make Ansar's pricing different.

    He's the distributor in your locality so what he says is law. :)

    If you want something cheap.. just go buy a good apacs racquet. There's plenty of them in Malaysia.

    Well, I think Trinity 2 is enough for me. I want a light and long lasting racket. Apacs is pretty good too, I've borrowed an Apacs from one of my friends, it's kind of light, but I want to try something different. Panda is pretty rare. :p

    Trinity Pro TPro pre-orders UK/EU

    Since the TPro is imminent, I'm taking pre-orders now, so all those of you who contacted me for T2s will now get even more than what you wanted:D.

    For reference, the target is 285-295 mm/84-87 g, so please try and keep your specs within this window. First come, first served - I'm anticipating eight to ten rackets in this shipment, but if more than ten pre-orders come in, I'll get more;).

    Price will be US$127.50 equivalent (I will set the GBP/EU at the time I order), with the usual 10% multi-buy discounts and combined shipping applying.

    I always fix a USD price, as Dink takes payment in USD, but I only set the GBP/Euro price on the day I pay for the order so the moving exchange rate doesn't ruin everything. For reference, the GBP/Euro equivalent as of today is roughly £83 or 97 Euro; it shouldn't move much from there, but obviously I can't guarantee that.

    With regard to specs, I have been led to believe that the TPro will be slightly stiffer than the T2, but please confirm this with Dink before committing. Design-wise, think of the UPro but with T2 red instead of purple...

    So, is the TPro coming before the Revelation? How is it different from it? Or is it basically the same, only with changed name/design?
