    I like the way BRL and Neil take their photos, there's a sense of artistry in their shots to make the otherwise common looking racquets stylish. Now it looks as good as a Toyota or Bioware advert.

    Why don't we dedicate this thread to the appreciation to these artsy photos? Puts our 'weapons' on a different light...

    Now I'm gonna snap one! You just wait... :D

    Is it me or the first Carlton racquet from the left of Neil seem to be a bit deformed. My Ti-10 has the same problem but a bit harder to see. Do you guys think it's normal? Should I cut the string? Will it take it old form?

    It is, but not much, I don't think it will affect the performance though :)

    Don't worry, nothing is 100% even (according to physics) and nothing ever weights the same. As long as it's not extremely deformed, I would say you are fine.

    The one on the left is strung with blue BG-70 Pro at 30lb which could be why
    The one in the middle has CBG100 at 24lb (recently strung, not used yet)
    The bottom right Carlton has BG65-Ti originally at 26, but a lot slacker now

    Super, dude! What about doing the photo so that it looked as if it's on a sweeping motion, but changing colours?

    You know, the Scrubs intro?

    I only have a few rackets, so, "LB" takes 90% of collection. But, hey, u have tons of stuff, I am sure we will see "BLUEJEFF" soon...

    Just one thing, u might need to clean up ur back yard, and shot the pic from ur 3rd floor window or something. :D

    from the left are

    3 cab 21's, 2 iso 500's, cab 8 tour, hiqua800, estca kevlar master and the classic no-name generic 20year old yonex racquet

    sorry about the green, its all carpet!

    Well, some of the orange ones are just been put on, still fairly new. Lucky I ran out of yellow ones, and replaced those with blue, otherwise, u will see more "bright" spots. ;)
