    Sup Baddies.

    Lately I've been carrying 5 or 6 racquets in my bag because I feel that on different days depending on how I feel, I require different racquets to play my best.

    On days where I'm full of energy, zipping up and down, left and right, focused with a good nights sleep behind me, I'll use my head heaviest/stiffest racquet.

    On days when I feel lazy, or just OK in energy, I need a slightly less but still head heavy medium-stiff racquet to get a good smack outta it.

    On days where I'm sloth incarnate, I go for a balanced, medium flex racquet.

    Etc etc.

    Anyone else experience this? Is it all in my head? Or am I simply not pro enough to stick with one racquet?

    Just thought I'd share that.

    Game on. :)

    Yep. Me too.
    Also you can adjust your hand gripping point higher or lower by 1-2-3 cm depending on your energy level and whether you're playing attack or defence.

    me too. i blame that on my inconsistency. but it is true, some days, some racket feels awesome, another day, it feels like a thud.

    I switch for what I'm playing either singles, level or mixed but I prefer light medium flex rackets no matter what I'm playing :)

    I rotate so that they all get some attention. But sometimes I do change quicker if I felt like I should not have lost that game....
    But I do agree some days some rackets feel better than other days!

    I play the same racket (i.e. the same model) all day. Singles, Mixed and Doubles.

    Some players refuse to change the model for years, I can't see any advantage changing it on a daily basis...:eek::eek::eek:
