    I just wonder what will you do with your old racket. Since every time when I get a new racket, I will just use my old one as my backup. And over the years I end up with so many backup rackets in my bag and some of them were in my closet. Will u actually use these rackets again??? So what will u do. Are u going to sell it or give it to someone else? Or, can u trade it for a new racket?

    1) sell them
    2) continue to use them
    3) give out as a gift
    4) retire them
    Done all of them.
    Don't trade them, dealer either give you next to nothing or will not take them.
    Any other suggestion?

    convert them, e.g. lead tape to make em head/handle heavy,and playing with funny tensions , sandpapering and wierd stringing patterns and anything else you ever had a fleeting curiosity about.

    you gotta tell them that since you've invested so much in badminton equipment, you'll never forgive them if they don't pick it up. :D

    personally, i'd find it difficult to part with many of my old racquets ...
