    Before you criticize me on what I know, I like to point out that the reason I get to try out a lot of racquets is because I have access to players and coaches that are sponsored by various racquet companies, as well as personal contacts to distributors.

    I wanted to hear what people prefer in their racquets. What they have tried...stuff like that.

    As well, when I get my hands on a digital camera, I want to post some pictures of racquets that nobody here probably has seen before. In line includes a fake SOTX Woven 16 racquet, a Prince racquet that's actually playable, as well as the difference between a sponsored player's racquet and the ones you buy off the shelf.

    A lot of the post I've seen online have been pretty Yonex dominate. I personally not a big fan of them, and that after trying many racquets they make throughout the years.

    Types of rackets

    Hi Glacier5000,
    Wow, u have tried quite alots of rackets. That's great. I had tried only the following rackets since I was young:
    (1) Dunlop(Wooden type)
    (2) Carbonex 8 (Yonex)
    (3) Carlton Aluminium frame type.
    (4) Carlton Airblade Tour.
    (5) Carlton Rammusen
    (6) Kennex (4gotten the model)
    (7) Yonex ISO Swing Power ss
    (8) Yonex Ti 10
    (9) ProAce Sweetspot 800
    (10) ProAce ABS1000
    (11) Yonex MP100
    (12) Yonex Armortec 800 OFF
    (13) Yonex Armortec 800 DEF
    (14) Gosen Grappower 900
    (15) Gosen 5300
    (16) Yonex nanopower 8000
    (17) Yonex MP 99

    I still prefer a stiffer racket although I dont always smash at my opponents. I like to use MP100, Armortec 800(both) and also ProAce ABS1000. They are good in attacking game n smashes. I still prefer 2U G5 type. Well, as for yr types of rackets, I have not try b4,so I cant comment on them. Thanks.
    Lee;)
