No extra end/butt/cap, just an overwrap/overgrip over the existing grip.

Holy Smoke! My only question is... where do you put the kitchen sink in the bag

2 x ProAce Lightning 828 @ 28 lbs
1 x yellow yonex water bottle
1 x pair of yonex badminton shoes
1 x pair of ankle socks
1 x towel
1 x shirt
1 x shorts

That's all folks!

Good eye Dreamzz, the Triple Threat is a friend's racket. I haven't really played with that racket because the main string breaks really fast. But I will say the racket is very solid and stable.

Yes, extremely stiff and endloaded. Very powerful but harder to defend. The racket is very well made. If you want an all out attack racket at the expense of defense, it's your racket. Both of those are for sale or trade, BTW.

The Sotx D900? how come I missed that?!?

ohh, wait..you had hidden it behind a triumph

do you really use all those? where do you find the time? when I'm on court it's 6/8 times a train-a-rama, 1 night of playing and 1 midday of competition...do you play games a lot? (GameAlot

)

I normally use one racket, currently the Woven 7. I will test other rackets in practice, and if I'm really comfortable with it, use it in match play.

Yes, I play many games, all of which are for fun.

On a Super Saturday, I play between 8-12 matches.

**jerby** · 10-10-2006, 10:49 AM

sounds like good fun!
btw, don't you take anythign else with you to the gym except rackets and strings?

80% of my bag is full with clothing/towels etc...15 rackets would never fit...

Duh!

15 rackets is only one compartment, I have two other compartments.

then it's a multi-purpose bag!
1) carrying your stuff to the gym
2) weightlifting
3) emergency tent for those SGVBC latenighters

just noticed, I think it's really kickass to call a racket Bad-R-us, sheer brilliance
