I guess Panda likes the 550VS I traded you, at least it found a good home... Unless it's already in the racket burial ground....
I think it's because it's a European(Denmark) brand and most North American or even Asian stores won't carry them... I got Forza rackets because one of the local badminton centers used to carry them, but they switched to Wilson...
I only just heard of them because some poor dane got smashed by LD and he had FZ all over him. Before that I had no idea. Still don't really.
I thought forza liked to use a lot of Kevlar. That's all I knew about them. That and there's a racing videogame with the same name.
Hey Dinkie Panda! Now that you have the T2's out, many of us are wondering how you would "rate" them relative to the T1's, which you had previously "rated" here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1238485&postcount=599 Do the Trinities finally get "Excellent+" ?
Nope, here's what it would "be": Note: a change in the weight and BP could alter the ratings significantly. Panda Power Trinity 2, Swing Weight: 86.5g, BP288 Overall: Excellent Ideal For: Doubles Play Style: All-Around Stiffness: Stiff Balance: Moderate+ Frame Feel: Excellent- Frame Stability: Excellent- Racket Power: Excellent- Racket Defense: Excellent Frame Durability: Good+ Paint Durability: Good Shaft Durability: Excellent- Comments: relatively durable, paint finish a bit better, good balance, good all-around. Very easy to generate power. Panda Power Ultra 2, 86.5g, BP290 Overall: Excellent- Ideal For: Doubles/Singles Play Style: Attacking Stiffness: Very Stiff- Balance: Moderate+ Frame Feel: Excellent- Frame Stability: Excellent- Racket Power: Excellent- or Average+ Racket Defense: Good Frame Durability: Excellent Paint Durability: Good Shaft Durability: Excellent+ Comments: less demanding than the U1 but still relatively demanding. Again, only powerful if you can flex the shaft otherwise it's just average performing. Extremely strong but thick frame and shaft. Paint is better but still not great. A work horse that's about 25% easier to use.
Why is frame durability only Good + and not excellent ? and how did you test that ? (I am interested , because I am thinking of getting one from Mark )
sometimes the paint come off due to mis-hit or in some of my rackets (cant mention the brand) the paint would just start to peel off like foil , but it doesnt bother me cause I only care about the performance on the court
Not sure about the Lethal 50, but if it's anything like the 60, and you're even vaguely an attacking player, you'll love it!
Only if you are a good boy. Maybe, redoing the ratings to a 1 to 10 scale but because of this, need to very clearly explain things...even more so than now. That takes time.
So Dan, whatever happened to that tutorial you were going to make on how you do your stringing knots?
