    I am playing with my 284 and I can get a LOOOOT of power from that one. I do not even want to think what would happen with more BP version.

    I remember that I tried T2v4 295 and I did not like it as much as I did 285 and 283 at that time.

    Tpro 284 / 288 feels exactly the same after playing for a while. Quick change and few shots I can feel the difference (sam strings, same grips) but after I get used to it I can not tell which is better for me.

    I guess ordering something like 293-295 would make a difference comparing 288 or even 284.

    Hi guys,

    New to this forum - anyway have just ordered 2 Trinity Pro's B295, W84g from Mark - will let you know how I get on with them when they arrive. I will be using them primarily as a Mens Doubles player. I win most rallies through smashing and aggression, but other guys I play with do too so defense is equally important. Was going to order the Ultra pro but after discussing with Mark he felt the Trinity Pro is a better all round racket i.e. good for attack and defense......only time will tell aye.

    All this reading about powerful head light rackets makes me want one. Mine is even balance (86/288ish), my goodness. But its okay, I have to save my money up for some other goodies Dan has in the works. Like the long-ago-mentioned bag, shirts, etc. Especially after my huge order from RKEP, and my upcoming huge order from Ashaway. And the fact that I just also bought several goodies for notetaking in school (iPad + zaggmate) and for summer tennis training (ball machine)... Speaking of summer..

    Dan, you should be sure to make some SLEEVELESS drift shirts, I need more of those for summer haha.

    the 288 one should be powerful enough - saving up for new stuff is the right decision ;)

    No, not necessarily. Some of the legendary woven racquets sell for around CDN $100-120 today...

    That's it for the current TPro shipment - no more orders, please:D

    Those of you who have ordered, your rackets should be with me by the end of next week assuming all goes smoothly and Dink's end.

    Many thanks,

    M.

    Dan has said before that the Revelation will most likely be in the ballpark of $150-$175. So $100-125 CAD aka T2/U2/P sounds a little unlikely.

    I saw them, is just that they compare to other brands and not Panda's. I did warm up with one for a few minutes but not long enough to tell if it's any good. Just wanted to hear other thoughs that's all.

    Besides, my wife put the clamp down on the racket purchasing fund. She thinks 5 rackets is more than enough (6 if you count my her old Ti-3)

    My wife has the Ti-10
    I have Ti-10, 2 Precisions, 1 T-Pro :)

    I might be able to convince her to let me buy more if I promise not to spend any more on the B5 S4 :)

    Well, at least you can compare a MX80 with a MX80, then?
    Ahem
