    Yep, 2 packages of red Mizuno string among other things.

    Little secret ....... I sent Panda real Canadian Back Bacon and Maple syrup [the good stuff] and he sends me treats to try. Makes him happy as he likes to kicks up his Bamboo sprouts once in a while.:D

    as long as Derrick confirmed your order, you do not need to worry, you will get it for sure.
    it may be still on the way to Singapore, just be patience.:)

    Yesterday I ordered a Precision from Yen in Australia. Yeah, I made the leap. I asked Yen to string it with Yonex BG80 @ 28 lbs. According to Yen his first shipment of Precisions is currently under way. I can't wait to try it out! Waiting is TERRIBLE........

    For those in Canada, the Precision will be in stock tomorrow (Thurs Oct 28th) at MJ Strigns, and I will be filling all pre-orders shortly. If you're interested or have any questions, please email or PM. Thanks !

    As I promised earlier, a pic of my unique logo. Unfortunately, it's impossible to make a one-piece stencil for that - but it looks nice imo :D

    T2 with painted YY NBG95 (Worst stringjob ever - 23x25 requested, got 19x21)

    T2 with red Mizuno string - looks awesome :)

    Panda Power Ultra Pro - pre-orders open now!

    I have the distinct pleasure of announcing that the Ultra Pro will be on its way to Dink from the factory next week, and that I'm open for pre-orders now - PM or email.

    The UP is Panda's answer to the AT900P. It'll feature the same shaft as the cult-classic U1, but will be both lighter (80-86 g target) and more head heavy, making said shaft easier to to bend and generate power. The target balance is 295-305 mm, so it will be 5-10 mm less head heavy than the 900P on average, making it easier to move. In short, a cheaper, stronger and more powerful 900P.

    Price will be the same as the U1, viz. $150.

    Based on the shipping date they should be here tomorrow Saturday, or at the start of next week.

    Thanks for reminding me, D_E: I need packing materials:D.

    T2 = Toray M40GC (40T equivalent)
    Precision = Home Brew 30T + CNT for added stiffness and strength

    Yeah, a matte black AT900P sounds deadly.

    Please note the Ultra Pro is not an AT900P. The UP is similar in feel and power but stiffer and a bit less head heavy for better mobility.
    The AT900P is the closest thing Panda can think of and many people requested it, that's why Panda made it. :)

    Well I haven't used an AT900P so I wouldn't be able to say otherwise anyway! But I know what you mean.

    It sounds like an interesting racquet and I love the design.

    The Ultra Pro is ideal for an attacking player who wants a solid, durable, powerful racket...assuming he can flex the shaft.
    It's also ideal for the wristy, counter attacking player who strings at high tension and plays a precision game by "punching" the shuttle.
