    Be careful though - it's a lot stiffer. Even the stiffer N90 can't compare, so perhaps a head-heavy Revelation would suit you better if you don't like a much stiffer shaft.

    im ok with a stiff shaft, but head heavy would be nice as well :), sth ard as stiff as the 900 power or technique would be nice, also, bp around 290-300 would be nice :)

    I know you only have 5 or 6 racquet models, but could panda possibly make a graphic similar to the "yonex selection chart" so new customers can guess and what Panda Power racquet would most suit the type of racquet we are used to? Seeing as most badminton players play with yonex, matching the yonex infographic would be very useful for us new customers.

    Did this one a little while back. The Revelation stiffness has been changed, it's inbetween the T1 and T2.

    Hmmmm, looking at the chart, Panda is not happy with it. Panda will redo tonight or tomorrow.

    Well, a graph is not a good representation of Panda Rackets because of the diverse range of specs. So, Panda needs to quantify.

    Very true. An 82g, 280mm bp Precision isn't really an offensive racket.

    Well, it can be for a person who does not or cannot wield stiff, heavy, head heavy rackets.

    Also the graph is misleading because the Ultra 1, though not as head heavy, is overall heavier and more demanding than the Ultra Pro.

    The typical Ultra 1 is 87.0g, BP292
    The typical Ultra Pro is 84.0g, BP295

    Dan, sadly you are right. Overlapping ovals in one quadrant of a 2-D graph lacks, shall we say, elegance.
    Hmmm. you need a 3-D graph with the z-axis being weight... or something like that. Surely the brilliant marketing minds of the PP World Consortium can help you.:)

    Naw, graphs don't work. They can be so misleading. It will be raw data.

    I remember Sketchy had posted a graph with the swing moment, ie. wt x bp.
    Maybe if that can be incorporated with the z-axis being stiffness?

    Here found it:

    The y axis being stiffness.

    Have you decided which shaft to use? Woven or CNT? Stiffness rating?

    In your old graph, is stiffness equivalent to repulsion/hold on the yonex graph?

    No, it's exactly what it says, the stiffness of the shaft and the balance. Does not have anything to do with repulsion or hold.
