    Ask around for a tennis bag. It usually can carry 2 badminton racquets without any prob.

    if you have a pair of shoes too
    then you should try the yonex BT-3 bag
    you can put a pair of shoes some accesories
    and two rackets

    If you have a racquet like the Carbonex8 ( with the T-joint ) together with one which doesnt, then the paint starts chipping off on both racquets by the joints, in a single racquet case. It would be better to carry the racquets in a bigger bag/case, so that there will be less friction between the racquets.

    No, by all means don't..each racket should be packed in a 9-racket bag with nothing else in it except stuffing, cotton balls or pillows. any extra layers of dampening fabric is optional.
    Under no circumstances should rackets ever be able to touch each other while they're in a bag (hence you need two bags).
    because if they smack against each other the might be 'damaged'! ;)

    Come on people, if I'm demoing stuff I sometimes have 8-12 rackets in one compartment of my bag, nothing happens (but then, I don't have steel rackets).
    As long as you don't drop it down some stairs you should be fine..:p

    depends, are you throwing it down a flight of stairs then setting it on fire? No? ok then it's not gonna break. In fact i think putting 2 rackets in a normal case i recommended, because since the bag is designed for one, the 2 rackets will be so snuggly fit together it wont even budge.

    that way aren't you putting too much pressure on to the racket??
    even tho if it doesn't break or effect ur racket greatly
    i'd just use a bigger bag just to be on the safe side:)

    Well, I guess there shouldn't be any problem at all. I always stuffed my carrying case with two or even three rackets when I was a student. I still do if I just bring 2 or 3 rackets to play causually. Why should they break anyway if you are not sitting or stepping on them? If the rackets can stand so many impacts/stress when hitting against the shuttles, they should be extremely druable.

    It might break even without doing it.:)

    I even put three in a normal case (it was the cab22 cases). No problem about the racquet breaking. i.e. none of them broke.
