Why do you need a new racquet?

Old rackets bring back memories! That's why!

Thank god I don't have much money to spend otherwise I'm sure I would spend a fortune just to try new rackets

Does anyone know what the the prestrung manufacturers tension is set at? 4. Finally is the racquet a fake? it says made in Taiwan, I had a black knight feather XL a couple of years ago and it said made in Canada.

thanks in advance for the insight.

Well, this isn't in the good thread, and maybe the mods will move you post and my answer.

It is ashaway strings, something like powergut 66 or 65. On the made in Canada part, I am very surprised since BK is a Canadian company but they usually do not make their rackets in Canada, so maybe you had something more like Babolat (that has : Engineered in France).

My first racket was Carlton Fireblade Iso S-Lite until I whacked the racket on the ground due to frustration of making silly mistakes (which I regret still, since I can't find the same racket anywhere). Now I'm using Carlton Vapour Trail Storm (which I'm taking more care of). I'm looking for a back-up racket just incase the strings snap on my current racket which are still the original from when I purchased it. Although I would like to add to your collection of racquets and curious to try a racquet everyone was talking about but I voted for a little of everything mentioned.

my first racket was Kojak brand (not sure if u familiar with the brand, but it's famous in Malaysia in the 80's... cheap2 brand :P) then i move up to carbonex 8... now using 11 rackets mostly yonex & victor... dun think to add any racket in near future ... btw,gave my mp66 to my wife and my carbonex 8 & fleet racket to my sons..
