How many rackets does everyone have in total then? From your very first till now (Btw broken ones count). Is it normal for you to buy a racket each month or do you just stick to one ?
Currently, I have about 10 or so. Total ever purchased, over 300. I have slowed down since. I just stick with my Woven 7s and am waiting on my Woven 7is.
It's perfectly normal for the fanatics to collect (or, eagerly to try out) different rackets. If there are ppl collecting stamps, coins, cars, etc, why can't ppl collect rackets, if they can afford it. However, if you participate in very high level of games or tournaments very often, I don't think switch to a different racket every 2 days is a good idea. If for collect hobby, it's perfectly fine.
New Model?? Wow, Master Panda goes through more racquets, than some of the smaller retailers sell racquets in a year!!!
w7i is the new model for 2007. stiffer and slightly lighter... I have 3 rackets, all the same. 2 should suffice I think...
I only have one racquet, just started out 4 months ago. I have a Carbonex 8400. I guess it's okay for someone like me but I think it lacks power. I might buy an Armortec 500 in a couple of months. I mainly play offensive but I want something a bit more balanced.
I currently own two rackets, new color Ti-10 and a Nanospeed 9000S. I'm still thinking if i should buy a 2nd Ti-10 or 9000S
I currently use 5,but i got 12 in total.That's from the very beginning.. started about 2 years ago. Currently using.. 1.Kason carbon 3.0 2.Kason TSF300A 3.Kason Carvel u-3 4.Oliver fetter smash 105 5.Flexpro prima 828 2nd edition
My List 1. Carlton Aerospeed 29 (my loves one) 2. Prince XP Ti 86 3. RSL Laser 6800 4. RSL M5 Energy Ti 5180 5. Pro Ace TB 3 6. Apacs Nano 555 speed 7. MP 77 (broken) 8. carbonex 10sp tour (broken) 9. carbonex 8 - my first racket.....
I think buying a racket every month would qualify as an addiction Currently use: 2 identical rackets Also own: 5 rackets, of which 2 are old budget rackets and one is a "garden spare" Broken: 1 racket (my then partner's fault. No, really) Discarded: 1 racket, not worth the cost of restringing Not counting: "garden badminton" racket sets Total: 9 rackets, of which 4 were my early budget rackets. Since I started to buy "serious" rackets, I've used three different rackets in about 7 years: Yonex Mp88, Karakal SL-70, and Yonex At800-DE (in that order). For the Karakal and At800, I bought a pair (so I would have a backup). So my racket changes, over about 9 years, have been: Buy first (cheapo) racket Upgrade from cheapo racket to budget racket Upgrade from budget racket to "serious" racket (Mp88) Broke Mp88 and switched to Karakal Changed to At-800 just because I liked it better
