Some impressive collection here! Mine is much more humble with my very first racket pair: Yonex Duora 55 LCW limited edition strung with Nanogy 99 at 22 lbs and gripped with a Supergrap.
Just wanted to avoid unwanted scratches when picking up the shuttle. Sometimes, we play on wooden surfaces.
Nothing wrong with it. If you like the racket and got an identical spare one, that's all you need to be happy.
just got the astrox 77 3u and 88s 3u - just been delivered. however i dont think ill be playing for a few weeks, my right foot pinky toe has a really big deep cut - its inflamed and i cannot move it at all - on antibiotics
the silver old racket is amazing, till use it, i find it the best on the backhand than my usual duora 10
Yes I know right... : ) good observation though. I actually bought two in case the strings would break as I had no backup rackets before purchasing those and to string a racket where I live is just not possible. I have to send them to a shop who does stringing and it takes a good week. Yet it's true I never had to use the second yet.
Guilty! Actually got a good deal on those (50 pounds each) and when I started badminton I had no clue about what to do to be honest, so I just bought the two same racket hehe. Not a bad choice on the end, I love those, especially after trying others' racket at my club : )
Play the last home game of the season. Be in the 2nd set of the MD. You and your partner have the tendency to win the game at 15:12 or going into the 3rd set. During the rally your string pops and you don't have anymore an identical racket in your bag. I had it last season and I was close to an heartattack. 3 identical is my must to sleep well and don't care about any choices and other equipment stuff.
I played a whole tournament with just one (!) racket strung with AS. I brought another racket but it was not the same model and the string job was very old. Brave or stupid? Rather the first because I knew I very rarely break strings. But still bought a second spare racket just in case a week later.
I also break strings rarely and never managed to break them during a tournament or league game, only training. I can also go with one racket through a tournament, but this time I was very unlucky. It will never happen again.
