    In all fairness, if the T2 had the same raw finish frame, it would perform better...
    ...so Kwun, you'll have to compare the UPro vs. Trinity Pro...
    ...sooner than later? :D

    according to Dink, the manufacturer has been very good with the spec. there isn't much deviation from around 93-94g and BP298-ish

    and with that spec, it just happens to fall into my preferred range as i am a ARC10 user. the ARC10 is slightly heavier on spec but since the UP for strange reason feels heavier than it really is, they end up around the similar feel in terms of swing weight. but the UP is quite a bit stiffer.

    Do you mean 83-84g?

    93-94g is almost in the U range!

    I think the 93-94g means with grip and strings. Most of my pp rackets only weigh 8-10g more with zm62 + overgrip.

    I'd go for that! Cosmetics are so over-rated...:p
    But seriously, play characteristic is much more important than looks.

    So we can get the TPro with the Revelation at the same time?

    So how does this UPro play compared to a Ti10 or MP90/99?
    It sounds tempting to me since it has a stiffer shaft but I don't want to sacrifice swing speed too much since I play 98% doubles.

    have to give the Precision one thumb up here. broke the strings on my ARC10 tonight on game 6 out of total 9 games of mixed doubles. took out the on-spec Precision felt right at home. there is a slightly different rebound with the softer shaft but besides that, the repulsion and swing weight and the feel with all the control shots in mixed are excellent. swing speed was fast and fast drive was very stable.

    still ended up losing with the 9th game decider ended 25-27, but that's really doesn't matter. the games were very good and the Precision felt good.

    I am just wondering since you have UP and Precision. I've read your first review on UP. How does it feel since then comparing precision?:)
