    Curious to see what brands/models/pricing that everyone is using to measure the weight of their rackets/strings/grips. Thinking of getting one that has enough range (0-200grams?) and is not going to break my wallet.

    CD.

    You can get things like this for <$US10 off eBay these days; these are a good example, and they go up to a kilo. 0.1g resolution is dirt cheap:D.

    I just use my digital kitchen scales, pop to your local supermarket and pick up one. Mine cost me £10 :)

    Kindest regards,

    Lol! In this day and age, what's stopping you from getting an eBay, amazon, and paypal acct? (Other than trying to keep track of all the passwords :p)

    Got paranoid with news of identity theft back in the day. Never really saw the need to get one as I never purchased stuff over the internet. I'm a dinosaur. Even my wife purchases stuff over the internet :).

    Lol. Just found out my wife has a paypal account. She's not taking too kindly with my sudden interest with badminton. "Badminton again?". Lol. Ahhh married life.

    Well, for these scales, it's easy. You just tell her, "Honey, I think you should have a digital scale to accurately weigh your jewelry now that gold is at a record high." :D

    Well...sent the link to my wife. Let's see if she'll buy it for me. This will be a good test to see how well she'll take to my badminton obsession. Hopefully it will lead to her buying me more badminton stuff (bag/rackets/shuttles) online. Wishful thinking? :p
