Do you enjoy the smell of brand new badminton racquets? Whenever I buy a new one, or walk into a small racquet shop, I always like the smell. Maybe it's just me, the smell reminds me of new racquets and models, and makes me content. Whenever I buy one, I try to not let the smell escape, or not use my new racquet too much until necessary, and through careful care, the smell lasts for me, around 8-12 months.

Maybe I'm just weird. :rolleyes:

:) i like the smell as well, but i'm not too bothered about keeping it on my racquets

Maybe Yonex should bottle the fragrance and make tour players use them on their racquet before important matches! :D

The roman athletes did it (to a certain extent)...

i personally like the smell of the strings... :)

i like the smell of leather and books. when I buy a book, after opening the plastic wrapping the first thing I do is smell it.

feshly opened tube of shuttlecocks smell nice too. can't smell a fresh racket since the rackets here in the PI are displayed out of their protective wrapping (if any). they're just hung there.

I thought the smell of a new grip (factory) was disgusting. It reminded me of vinegar... However, I love the smell of newly opened pack of strings and shuttlecocks.

Lol. Sometimes I find the smell on my strings quite annoying..Like the smell is so plastic..

I don't know if new racket have any smell, I guess it's because they display it openly here... but I like string smell...

haha.. I know what you're on about. I also like the smell of brand new shoes... :rolleyes:

i like the smell of new books too. but i also like the smell of new strings:rolleyes:
