I see many guys (and gals) here in the forum having like 5, 10, 20 racquets... but just curious, how many racquets do you guys actually USE on a regular basis? By regular, I mean use at least once each session you play. I use 2. 1) AT 700 (singles) 2) MP 99 (doubles)
yup, i rarely use more than 2 different racquets for a particular session. but then i do then to use use different racquets for different sessions depending on how i feel on the day and the types of shuttles being used.
Ti-10 125g & Ti-10 120g for feathers. Ashaway Ti-130 for plastics. The Ashaway's timing is a tiny bit off from the Ti-10's, though not off enough to affect play in any significant way. Will be buying another Ti-130 for mods to bring it in line with the Ti-10's, and boosting power at the same time. I am not modding the exiting Ti-130 in the mean time because it is already very good. I will mod it once I work out the optimum configuration using the new racket.
you mean, ~1 year...just long enough for yonex to release a new toy? I'm just jealous, you know that ;0
Well as far as my ability concern.. I can only use one racket one at a time. U people up there must be darn good. hehehhe...
I normally carry 3-4 cab30ms with me to the gym. Usually stick with 1 racket for the session, unless the string snaps or become way too loose. Very few time, snaps 2 strings in 1 session, which make myself look like genius to have another 1-2 more available to be used. Yeah, all my cab30ms are 3UG4, BG80@ 23lb. The weight difference between each one is very small, as I hand on selected them when I purchase.
Three nearly identical Woven 7is, two the same tension, one a little looser; and three nearly identical Woven 7s two the same tension, one a bit looser.
I use 3 AT500's all strung to the same tension. I use the same one all the time, until it breaks or starts to lose tension and then I get it re-strung, and then I use one of the other too, etc, etc. That means that even if I have a racket being re-strung I still have a good one and a spare all the time. Works for me!
i carry four carlton airblade superlites, and they're all strung and gripped the same. i randomly take one before a match.
Three racquets, all used throughout the evening. I need to be used to all three. Same strings and tension in each.
That's the same answer for me too. I carry usually 3-4 Cab 30MS (All 3UG4 - 2 using Wilson Xtra Tak and 2 using Wilson Pro Over Grip) Right now i'm playing around with strings and the over grips to find the right combination: 1 - NBG-95 @ 23 lbs 1 - BG-80 @ 23 lbs 1 - BG-70 Pro @ 23lbs 1 - Ashaway MP @ 23 lbs Currently the BG-70Pro is in my next rotation of rackets to play around with for a session or two. I've determined that the other 3 string have played extremely well at the tension and the style of my play. I usually rotate my rackets for each session of play..I play 3 times a week so i use a different cab 30MS for each time. Sometimes for Singles or training i switch to my MP99 cause i find the racket too stiff (and a little heavy) for me and i find it "rewarding" when i get punished for bad timing -> mishits and not generating the same sort of "effortless" power (just poking some fun at someone ) that i get from my cab 30ms. And the MP 99s (3UG5 - Wilson Pro Overgrip) strung with BG-85 @ 23 lbs
My list 1. Carlton Aerospeed 29 2. RSL Laser 6800 3. RSL M5 Energy Ti 5180 4. Prince Pro XP Ti 86 5. Pro ace TB 3 6. Apacs Nano 555 Speed I m play doubles. During the play session i usually use not more than 2 racket to keep maintain my performance. My favorite are Carlton AS 29 & Apacs Nano 555 Speed string with BG 66 at 25lbs.
