    The following usually work:

    1. The letter "X" (capital)
    2. A vicious animal name
    3. Some Latin phrase
    4. The suffiices "turbo", "ultra", "limited", "X" (if not already used); a four or five digit multiple of 10000

    This is how manufacturer's try and make their products "stand out" and, except for the fact that they ALL do it, it would work!

    So, something like

    TEP Interfectus Viper 12000X Ultra

    for my money...

    Well you can name the racket TEP BLACK MAMBA

    Black Mamba is one of the fastest snake on the planet. It is easier to handle a King Cobra than a Black Mamba.Their bites is one of the deadliest not only that, they are the most aggresive snake in the world, worst than the King Cobra.

    Therefore the name Black Mamba should suit the racket specification in terms of Speed , Power and Aggresiveness.. I'm sure the name is outstanding compare to the conventional names like PowerNano,NanoTec, Speed tech something ... etc..

    Most people would glorify their surnames rather than their initials. Why not call the racket:

    Tan Dynasty OnSpec 9000
    On the shaft: Super Repulsive OnSpec Composite
    On frame: 21st Century OnSpec Power

    With this name, people on BC will have no doubt where the racket is coming from. OnSpec being a new word would make it far easier to trade mark than other proper words.

    It'd be cool to make different versions of the same racquet like Yonex has DE/OF, X/S, Power/Technique. You should do an "a" "b" "y".

    one question... why TEP? Are they your initials?

    TEPEE (TEEPEE) sounds more memorable ;)
    I cant think of anything to go along with TEP, that wont sound even remotely like cheesey translated into English marketing phrases.

    edit: oops hit the wrong key first... anyhow, regardless of what you decide, best of luck to you.

    The prototype racquet will be ready soon and the plant is breathing down my neck for a name. I am inclined to call it "Pathfinder TEP1000S" and "Pathfinder TEP1000P", for an all round speed racquet and a power racquet, respectively. Alongside the name will show the words "Synthesis One of new space-age materials and concepts".
    I am looking at another very high tech material and may call it "Pioneer TEP888AR". Alongside will show "Synthesis Two of new space-age materials and concepts".
    I feel more inclined to have more meaningful names to reflect a 'first step beyond' endeavour, using newly discovered high tech materials that no others have ventured so far. Any comments and some fine-tuning will be appreciated.

    seems to wordy for me. OK for marketing blurb, but I wouldn't particularly want it on my racquet. Too Cheesy.

    And why 1000?
    It's easy to justify big numbers if you're Yonex, they've used a lot of smaller ones.

    how about
    Pathfinder TEP-1 Speed
    Pathfinder TEP-1 Power

    for your Synthesis 2
    Pioneer TEP-2 AR (or some expansion of what AR stands for)
