How many extras is enough?

[Midget_Boy]

On average, if you really liked a certain model of racquet, its performance, and wanted to buy a few more, how many would be ideal for the average badminton player? In case of breakage, just for back-up and so on. Especially those racquets that are becoming rare due to them being discontinued, or simply not being sold in your area anymore, so it would be a good idea to stock up for a while. I'm thinking about going to HK next summer again and maybe stocking up on a few more MP-100s and TI-10s. As airfare is increasing in price I want to buy enough to last me for some time, 3-8 years would seem ideal.

P.S. I haven't head a broken racquet yet, but I seem to clash a lot and my racquets are starting to show a sign of weakness :P

LOL... man, that's alot of money there.. but yeah! Ti-10 rules!!! haha.... i have 2 ti-10s already, ... but i'm thinking of getting another one or two more just incase :D

Yep, I figure that airfare is already enough, might as well get as much bang outta your buck, and stock up on high end racquets while in Asia :D . Hoping to use em all, if not, I know a few friends that would buy some at a price that seems very cheap Canadian, yet a little pricey if they lived in HK, heh, make a small profit, or use them yourself, no risk anyhow.
