I already did 4 restring on my 2 P. What I find is the frame is kind of flexible. May be too flexible(IMHO). Especially when I do the final 2 crosses, the top part of the frame actually change shape. Its movement is a lot more then all other racket I re-string so far. I felt scare when I am only restring it at 26lb. Cannot think what would happen if I do 30lb. During play P did give the accuracy that most of the posting so far. The only downturn is the power is a lot less that other racket, and that is 1the trade off from the speed.
strange, I have strung up my PPP up to 29lbs and my frame doesn't warp. I just did ZM62 at 26 and it feels goooooood And I do feel that the power is less on the PPP, but I adjust my playing style just a bit and change the speed of each smash and put more placement on them. Like right at your face for one and the next one is 1/2 power smash at your toes, followed by a full power to your arm pit.
Funny, was not planning on getting involved with the Ultra Pro but noticed in the post it must have quietly made it's way to Panda. Not to go into too much detail but after reading an email on how it tested that magically appeared in my mailbox the other day. 2 Ultra Pro's heading north Sorry Fidget tried to refrain. The word Power came up too much, it broke me down.
Curious what specs are you guys looking to get? I'm looking for 84g and BP305, since I was told that there probably won't be anything close to 80g.
86g/287bp (made possible by grip replacement) and an 84g/295bp I never particularly liked super head heavy rackets like the AT900P, but I've enjoyed the pure power of a super stiff shaft.
No need to apologize to me ormy4. The Panda makes good stuff. However, thanks to the rate that at which you and what07 are buying, Canada has just lost the balance of trade advantage it had built from exporting Alberta oil.
The same thing happen to me. The racket shape was changed - racket was stringed by MArk but when actually hit few times racket head shape become normal. There was strange dents in the head shape at 10 o'clock which disappear when playing with it. I did a restrung and similar thing happen again.
Panda is tired from inspecting and stringing rackets these past few days. Here are some initial images of the Ultra Pro. Will wait for Kwun to receive his UPs and have him take uber pictures so Panda doesn't have to try. Please note the "marbling" on the racket frame. It's supposed to be like that. It's the racket's raw finish. Oh yes, even though they said they could not, the racket manufacturer put the flatter cone on the UPs.
Looking good , better than in the preview pic from China. Didn't expect the lacquer finishing layer on top of the shot peen when I first saw the China pic ... Let's await some Kwun magic . Haha, that sounds familliar. Originally wanted one as an ultimate toy (305 ~85gr) but seems it's actually useable so would have to be at least a pair ... Time to donate some blood again or something .
Super head heavy? Ever played with the N90?^^ Or better yet, a taped N90....although I have to admit, 4 inches of lead tape were overkill, but it's very interesting to play with (BP325, ~92-94g is a bit too slow for drives though ). Good for a bit of power training (especially forearm)
the marbling is like USDA Prime steaks. very yummy looking! charging up my camera and warming the strobes now...
