    Just wonder because I also have a bad experience regarding Panda Power paint job durability what is the reason that this section did not improve from t2 on?

    Why other manufacturers which I owned can ensure that paint job is not falling of when racket is normally played - no doubles or clashes.

    I guess that really is not some scientific thing to do it excellent + :))

    Andrej, you have not even received your Precision yet. So how can you make a statement like this?

    i am the odd one. having used both the on-spec and off-spec Precision. i actually find myself liking the super heavy off-spec. the extra head heaviness and weight helps on the offense tremendously and the natural speed of the beast isn't slow on defense either. strung with ZM62@26 give a very noticable BOOM on every smash. very nice.

    True but i am reading comments regarding this. I have experience with t2 where color was peeling off with no good reason.

    I never mention that p paint durability on MY racket is bad i just wonder why is this so hard to do it good.

    the T2 is quite interesting.

    there is a silver-ish base layer paint that is very durable. a bad clash tends to flake off the top layer and leave the base silver layer intact.

    paint chip is a fact of life though, it will happen sooner or later. no point grieving over it.

    Well, one of my T2s lost some paint pretty fast and without any clashes, that was a bit weird, but its not like I couldve avoided paint chips. Of all my rackets, only 2 have no paintchips - one is my Ti-10 which always gets its own case and is pretty new, and the other is my 2nd T2 which just has good paint durability. Anyway, all my rackets still feel the same as when they had perfect paint, so I'm not bothered by some chips. As long as the paint doesnt come off on its own in huge amounts....and when will this god damn packet arrive? Its been so long! DHL has once again proven their worthlessness - as if I of all people had needed any more proof! I wanna test that racket, and I wanna test it today! God, this is frustrating.

    This made my day. Dink, do you think that you can start a new thread about it once you start revealing some more information? I know that I would really appreciate it.

    Isn't it best to have everything in one massive thread. ;)

    Dink needs to make a new bag, because all these rackets of his are taking up alot of space.

    16 inchs width atleast. Nice black and white color scheme. Good zippers, nice padded backpack straps. Bigshoe compartment for those who have big feet and maybe a built in sugar cane crusher to get some tasty juice after a longdays work. ;)

    And it should be thermally insulated, water and weather proof. strong zippers and pull tabs. Handles on top, option to use shoulder strap or backpack.

    Lots of little pockets everywhere too for grips, keys, wallet, etc. I would love a Precision based color scheme. Deep deep deep black as the primary color with British Racing green secondary colors and gold accents. Inside should be green too, with yellow gold hems.




    It should have a refrigerated compartment for keeping our water and sport drinks cold. Oh and it should be bomb proof! To withstand Panda's bomb smashes ^_^ (jk on these last 2)

    Haha what a revelation to reveal you're still working on the Revelation. How's that new shaft working out?

    Just had the chance to test out GrandMaster Tedski's Precision tonight. I had the chance to compare it to the 3rd generation Ti-10. Even though the Precision's frame is oval shaped, every hit is solid and stable. Drives, smashes, clears and lifts were so easy and quick. I hate to say this but the Precision is the closest thing to "effortless power". On the other hand, the Ti-10 required a lot more efforts. The frame wasn't as stable due to the very small profile. Mrs. Tedski had a go with the Precision as well. I think she will keep it from now on ;).

    Got a lovely package today. Contained something I had waited for a very long time - and which made me curse DHL for hours yesterday as I couldn't test it in training. Hope I get a chance today or tomorrow...

    is that Revelation or Titan ?
    from the website, Titan would be the next after Ultra Pro, while Ultra Pro most likely would be ready by end of November 2010 (Dink, pls correct the timing for Ultra Pro if it is wrong).

    people in Malaysia and Indonesia who still would like to pre-order Ultra Pro, please do let me know ...

    Hi everyone,

    I'm taking pre-orders for the Ultra Pro and anyone still interested in the Precision. The Precision has sold out very fast, I didn't even get one for myself. So if anyone is still interested in one or would like seconds, please let me know so that I can possibly and hopefully get a second shipment in.

    Email me at
    pandapoweraus@gmail.com

    Cheers

    Did you have a chance to test both Precisions, how is it comparing each other on different strings, the ZM62 to BG80? Oh, my wife actually likes them? :eek: I will be back in town tomorrow night, can wait to try the Precision with the BG80.
