    1) What racquet(s) do you use and why this racquet(s)?
    2 x AT500, NS6k, MP25.
    Mostly use the AT500s as it is medium stiff, good all-rounder and good price. NS6K sometimes for doubles because it feels light.
    MP25 as its cheap, only used when I play with beginners / improvers because I don't want a clash and break my good rackets

    AT500 & NS6K On-line shop in Belgium
    MP25 local sports shop (way over-piced but on the way home)

    Best price in my area (on-line shop), and I don't trust high street "sports shops" which just sell fashion clothing and low-end rackets.

    4) Where do you usually play and how many times a week?
    My local club and tournaments, 3 times per week

    5) How long have you play Badminton for?
    20 years (on and off)

    1) What racquet(s) do you use and why this racquet(s)?
    - AT700s -> testing out what is all the hype about
    - SOTX D600 -> same reason as above

    2) Where did you get it from?
    - AT700: 1 is trade for E-1000 and the other is bought used, both from BF classified
    - D600: bought used from BF classified

    3) Why did you get it there?
    because I don't like to over pay. used racquet from BF classified is good, not fake, and price is significantly reduced. the only disadvantage is it's not as shiny as new, and may have paint chip or micro crack from clashes.

    4) Where do you usually play and how many times a week?
    Limestone BC - twice times a week
    YMCA - once a week
    RMC - random
    Queen's U - random

    5) How long have you play Badminton for?
    since I was little, but seriously just in the past 3 years

    6) Can you tell me your age (eg. 20's or 30's) and gender?
    20s M

    7) Where do you live?
