    My rackets are mostly ancient stuffs so don't laugh on me:rolleyes: .

    3U MP100 with BG88ti
    TiSP SS with regular aermet
    Aerotus 110 with BG-470
    Aerotus 100 with BG-470
    carbonex 20 WITH GOSEN STRING
    Hart Maestro 9700 with natural gut
    Kawasaki Frontier DX/O with BG85
    Kawasaki Graphite Three

    I think Kawasaki makes good rackets and wonder why Kawasaki is never mentioned in this forum.

    Wow !! Olli and Ricky,

    you guys have enough rackets between you to start a racket showroom of sorts ?? :p

    And I thought Modious, Mongoose and Byron were the fanatics about rackets. Looks like there are even more extreme fellas like you two !!!

    Hey, another Talbot guy!

    Hey Andy,

    I just got a Quadrapower 951Ti and like it quite a bit. Your story with the Arrowspeed 1500Ti's is making me a bit nervous. Hope I don't run into the same problem with my iso headed Talbot. I've never heard of the Autograph Super - what is that one like? Thanks.

    Holy Shuttlecocks, Batman!

    Ricky, are there any racquets still available in HK or did you buy them all? My god, you could feed the entire population of several countries for a day with the amount of money you spent on racquets. I'm definitely going to refer my fiance to your post next time she says I have enough racquets already. :p

    Actually I'm not rich, I bought these racquets over years. I just put more money in buying badminton stuffs, e.g. a 2nd hand Japanese car will be more expensive than the total cost of these racquets (I don't have a car). :)

    In fact, there are people whose spend more in badminton here - I know a family which have 2 kids and the whole family spend average more than HK$10,000 per month on badminton related stuffs (mainly on coaching).
