    Thanks for the comparision. The precision is an awesome racket, good power and super fast. I think the T2 is better tho. If I were to just pick one racket for a day of playing I would pick up the T2 over the precision. I like stiffer rackets tho so I'm really looking foward to the Ultra PRO. Actually looking forward to try the revelation too just because it has the woven stuff :)

    What can I do to restore the painting of my Precision if it got peeled and the silver color of the frame was exposed?

    UK/EU Ultra Pro orders

    I'll be bringing in three or four Ultra Pro in within the next three weeks - should be before Xmas - so place your orders NOW if you want one. Since there are so few, it'll be deposits this time around (not to worry - £10 or 15 Euro is plenty). Choose a weight and balance and I'll try and get within 1 mm and 1 g either side.

    Why so few? I need money for Revs in Feb, that's why:p.

    Leave it alone, do not "paint" it. If you must, use a color matching permanent marker to fill in.

    Would clear nail polish work OK?

    If the bag had 1 compartment instead of 3 you can probably sleep in it. However since it's divided into 3 compartments. One isn't wide enough to sleep comfortably. :rolleyes:

    Pfffft! Kung-Foooo Panda has nothing on NiceGentlePanda. NGP will use his Ultra Pro and dink KFP into submission! :D

    Speaking of which, here's Panda praying, Express International Mail cannot get here fast enough. The rackets should be in Panda's paws around Tuesday.

    They should have used the "China" white balance preset, to eliminate the green cast :D

    The racquet looks ... stealthy. I like it a lot.

    Panda should get his little helpers ready to get them weighed/measured and shipped asap when they get to him. :D

    Also maybe panda should update the website to say "Wide Profile Cone" Under ultra pro instead of standard cone. :rolleyes:

    Maybe we should wait. Not certain if they did or did not.

    The manufacturer stated they could NOT do the wide cone/cap on the Ultra because of the tapered shaft.
    Cannot tell for sure what they did from the images. Looks like it's inbetween. :p
