I've just received the tracking number from Dink, so the box is on its way Price in Europe will be £85/104 Euro plus string and shipping, with £2 off per racket for bank transfer or cash-on-collection (Andy). Customers will be dealt with in pre-paying order or, failing that, list order. I need to hear from people regarding strings so I can have them ready when the bats get here; I'll email everybody shortly.
Should received the raquets this afternoon, I am anxious to get back home. Too bad, I wont have time to string any for my tonight session. :crying:
Update - rackets are now in the UK, just waiting for them to get out of customs. I'm ordering all the strings tomorrow, and a couple of people have jumped the queue by pre-paying.
Received the raquets, they look gorgeous, and all within the requested specs... Thanks Dink. Will be testing tonight.... should be able to post something soon.
Are you the distributer or an end user? I don't want to miss the boat on picking one of these up. Oops, nevermind... I see you are in QC and not BC
Can you please take a closeup sideways pic of the frame at 12 o'clock? It seems to look angular, almost Bravesword like?
I have black Z65, now that would look good. Just wondering how Yellow BG80 would look in a PPV2............
First session last night with the PPv2, played double only. The raquet was strung with ZM65 at 26 lbs, but I have to say that I am used to play with ZM62 first & second generation. I can say that I missed the tightness and crispness of the ZM62 that I am used to. My mistake; I wanted to try a setup that I thought will give me more power. The raquet is gorgeous, the paint scheme the color and the bare woven section on the side make it a piece of art. For myself, it is the best looking raquet from the Panda line. I can't believe the diference, when you think about the past Precision with no clear on it. Let's play; not much time to warm up and get used to the raquet. This raquet felt different than the Rev's, or lets say that the shaft does not react the same. It is very quick but, I felt a tiny different lag compared to the Rev, so timing was a bit off at the begining. I can say that it its quite an impressive raquet, each hit feel so solid and the sweet spot is much larger then the Rev,s. Control was exceptional, very easy to put the shuttle wherever you want. Very quick in defense to return smashes and put the shuttle away. At net play; the head is so stable, and it gives lots of confidence on any spin or net shot you want to make. On power, it is easier than the Rev to clear shots to the baseline on fore and back hand. On smashes and drives, the power seems to come out easier than anything previously done by Sir Dink, but I will need to restring it with my usual setup to be able to give more details on power accesibility. Many smashes were nice but there was something I was missing, but again, I am pretty sure it was due to my string setup. I definetely missed the crispness of the thinner gauge. Everything put together, this raquet is so solid and has so many good features, that it will definitely put my Revs to rest, the PPv2 is definetly my new raquet of choice.
I have sent them last night to my iPad to find out they are still in my OUTBOX. Will post them when I' ll get home from work this PM.. You wanted a closed side view from the top? (12 o'clock) Sorry.
Mercy buckets! (Tks much in French. ) Yes, side view 12 o'clock, to see the frame profile/cross section to see how aerodynamic it is.
