How many rackets does everyone have in total then? From your very first till now (Btw broken ones count). Is it normal for you to buy a racket each month or do you just stick to one ?

Currently, I have about 10 or so. Total ever purchased, over 300. I have slowed down since. I just stick with my Woven 7s and am waiting on my Woven 7is.

I can't count. I only estimate. Ask PeteLSD, he can really count.

It's perfectly normal for the fanatics to collect (or, eagerly to try out) different rackets. If there are ppl collecting stamps, coins, cars, etc, why can't ppl collect rackets, if they can afford it.

However, if you participate in very high level of games or tournaments very often, I don't think switch to a different racket every 2 days is a good idea. If for collect hobby, it's perfectly fine.

New Model?? :D

Wow, Master Panda goes through more racquets, than some of the smaller retailers sell racquets in a year!!! :eek::D:eek::p

w7i is the new model for 2007. stiffer and slightly lighter...

I have 3 rackets, all the same. 2 should suffice I think...

I have four rackets: Yonex Ti-10 (0ld version),SOTX Woven 8, Wilson V4, Victor Storm 2229.

I only have one racquet, just started out 4 months ago. I have a Carbonex 8400. I guess it's okay for someone like me but I think it lacks power. I might buy an Armortec 500 in a couple of months. I mainly play offensive but I want something a bit more balanced.

Where do they sell Woven 7is?

I currently own two rackets, new color Ti-10 and a Nanospeed 9000S. I'm still thinking if i should buy a 2nd Ti-10 or 9000S

Isn't this a Racket Stock Check (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65)?

I think the question is how many rackets have you owned all together?

I think buying a racket every month would qualify as an addiction :D
Currently use: 2 identical rackets
Also own: 5 rackets, of which 2 are old budget rackets and one is a "garden spare"
Broken: 1 racket (my then partner's fault. No, really)
Discarded: 1 racket, not worth the cost of restringing
Not counting: "garden badminton" racket setsTotal: 9 rackets, of which 4 were my early budget rackets.

Since I started to buy "serious" rackets, I've used three different rackets in about 7 years: Yonex Mp88, Karakal SL-70, and Yonex At800-DE (in that order). For the Karakal and At800, I bought a pair (so I would have a backup).

So my racket changes, over about 9 years, have been:
Buy first (cheapo) racket
Upgrade from cheapo racket to budget racket
Upgrade from budget racket to "serious" racket (Mp88)
Broke Mp88 and switched to Karakal
Changed to At-800 just because I liked it better
