Hey Dink, would it be possible to get rackets direct from you? Been 3+ months since my revelation broke and I'm still not able to order any replacement Panda rackets from the Derrick in Singapore... Think not enough orders to warrant a shipment? Don't mind to pay a little higher for freight but he's not offering any alternative solutions.
I am a semi-intermediate player. Do you think the Panda Power Trinity Pro KEVAR can be a good fit for me? Thanks ahead
Sorry I missed this, you or anyone can contact me directly and we'll work together to try to find the best solution. Thanks!
A lot of factors are involved, I think the best way is it test the racket. If not possible, what is your play style and what is your preferred racket(s)?
Dink! Any news on the prototypes you mentioned? Presumably not or you'd have said, but can't hurt to pester
Was just posting an update when I saw your post. After lots of testing with Panda's Minions...huh, "Associates" (they have been promoted ), the Panda Power TITAN is ready for production. The TITAN is based on the AT700 frame shape but optimized, the flat/rectangular areas are slightly rounded for a more aerodynamic shape. The TITAN hits very hard, one Panda Associate is 100-105lbs. and he hits a ton with TITAN. In fact, he's out hitting just about everyone at the club, even people that are double hit weight! All this while maintaining excellent defense. The TITANs will be 80-86g, BP285-295. The TITAN swings a bit heavier than it actually is so we're going lighter. The relative lack of weight and BP has not reduced the power. In fact, the hardest smashes were with 80-82g, BP292-295 rackets by all the testers... ...this is hard to explain but for those of you that understand it, it will make sense, perfectly, and you will smile: 1) Some rackets that are lighter/less BP, you over swing, and mishit a lot so you need more weight/BP. But when they are heavier, you lose defense and react slower. 2) Some (though very rare) lighter/less BP rackets you can swing as fast as possible but they usually don't give you enough power. 3) Some heavier rackets give you power but they are too slow, you go lighter, you either over swing or you lose that power. 4) The TITAN is that rare combination where it's a relatively lighter weight/BP racket and you can swing about as fast as possible and still control it and it gives you tremendous power. Of course all this is relative to each player but that's what we have found. So we're gonna produce it and see what the masses think.
OK, I just read that reply up above. It made sense at the time I wrote it but now, re-reading it, not so much... ...Dink needs sleep. Will recheck it in a few hours...zzzzzz...
Ha, the news I was waiting for! As an AT700 user, I am very interested in this racket. How about the feeling? Is it similar to what it was with the 700? (and that was lost with the Voltrics). What about the materials used? And when can I order 2 of these (in Canada)? Tks Mr Dink
Hmm think 80-82g, BP292-295 Titans will be at a premium then. Reserving first seat on the request bandwagon then.
Sorry Dink has been away. Papa Panda had a stroke and Dink's been focused on that. Back to badminton: 1) The TITAN has an AT700 solid, impact feel. 2) Materials: a variant of the Toray M40J graphite like the other Panda Power rackets. 3) The rackets will be available, hopefully in 1.5 months. 4) The TITAN is an isometric, full frame.
Any way for a Malaysian to buy a Titan? Or is there any update on ansarpro's status that I have missed?
Hi guys! I am back after a long time and i wonder which rackets from panda do you recommend? i actually had panda racket in past but i lost my track on current models or designs. As far as I remember i preferred this spec: bp 285-287 / 85 - 86 g Thanks!
