    Yonex Ti-10 (2)
    Yonex Ti-7
    Yonex Ti-3
    Yonex Titanium Pro 60
    Yonex Isometric Slim-10 (1)
    Yonex Isometric 25
    Carbonex 8
    Carbonex 21 Special
    Carbonex 8000
    Fleet Ti-99
    SBP T-10
    Yang Yang Dragon

    I used all of them as my no. 1 at some point or another put thats all the rackets i have...... out of curiousity, how many do you have?

    I have 4 yonex TI-10 rackets( someone stold my nr1.ti-10 racket =( so I had to get a new one........I had to survive with 3 rackets for three months) I changed my rackets in january 2001 when I broke my three yonex isometric swingpower 900-long rackets in one competition! I can´t understand how it´s possible to break three rackets in one competition without hiting them to the floor... They were good rackets to play with but they got easily broken!

    As of now I have the following:
    2 Ti-10's
    1 Iso Ti SP SX
    1 Aerotus 110 SP

    I sse the Ti-10 for both doubles and singles (mostly doubles though), and the SX only for singles. Aerotus is kind of a backup racket, but do use it sometimes for both doubles and singles as well...dont want it to feel too left out heh, heh, heh

    Plan to add the Iso Ti SP SS to my small little collection sometime soon!

    Wahhh ... Actually if you count ...

    If you count all those that I owned before and broke before, well its a lot!!

    -Yonex Carb 15 (the first version with the external T-joint.) ( Broken)
    -Yonex Aerotus 65 ( Broken)
    -Yonex Boron 2 ( Broken)
    -Robertson-Wilson Cobra elite ( Broken)

    -Yonex ISO 900
    -Yamaha EOS 90
    -Yonex TI-10
    -Yonex Carbonex 25
    -Yonex MP-100

    Sad to say, my most beloved Boron 2 was broken by a friend ... So was my AR 65 and Carb 15 .... Though they were not exactly my favourites. The RW was the only one which I broke. That's about over 12 years of play .. so it ain't actually that bad.


    And of my present rackets, they are in ascending order of preference. Yes, I like my Carb 25 over my Ti-10. Crazy by most people's standards, but thats the truth as it allows me to achieve some shots that I find impossible with the Ti-10.

    I love my 10 year old EOS 90 as well as its a very uniquely balanced racket over my ISO 900. Only problem is that its a little weak with drives and smashes. But it allows me to do some rather unique tricks like cross-court, backhand drops which none of the other rackets seem to allow me to ... STRANGE !

    Isn't the Iso 25 a low-torsion steel racquet? I didn't think people use still them given the low price of some graphite racquets... and the Iso 60MF only cost a little more.

    I have:
    - Black Knight ES-80 Ti-3 (BK795)
    - Carlton Smash (the older version with the graphite shaft and aluminum head, not the newer all-steel model)
    - Cooper Pro
    - unknwon wooden thing

    The BK and carlton were both my main at some time. The other two i never use, but sometimes let others use it.

    i have to look at my spreadsheet, but currently i am only using nanoray800 for singles and nanoray300 for doubles.

    i finally realized that i've never had a clash which breaks a racket because i play singles more often, lol :)

    actually, it'd be more interesting to see what's the ratio of rackets we use regularly compared to rackets owned.

    Humbly & regretfully say, i own not less than 20 rackets. Lining, Victor, Yonex, Kason, Hart, Astec, etc... but only 3 i always brought with me 3U VT80, 3U Victor The Legend I, & 3U LiNing N50 I. The rest are pretty much buried under the bed. Now that i think of it, it was such a waste of money to have bought them!
