I use them for knock-ups/drills. If they're too bad, you just have to throw them away though.

I do the same as Danstevens use them for knock-ups or drills the next time , shuttlecocks are already expensive enough!

Rackets I normally bin them , but I have always kept my favourite ever racket - My broken Muscle Power 88 , which I broke during the attempt of a trick shot.

I think it reminds me of the amazing racket

and ...

The stupidity of trick shots

Let me guess.................did you try and chase a lift over your head down, run all the way behind it and try and hit it between your legs whist facing away from the net? Just a guess because a friend of mine broke a Carlton by doing that - smashed it on his leg by accident and the head just sort of disconnected from the shaft. He collapsed in pain and his partner, my partner and I collapsed to the floor laughing at him. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen happen on a badminton court. Words just cannot describe the hilarity of it.

Anyway, I just get rid of broken rackets unless there's a warranty claim to be made (in which case I obviously keep it and wait for instruction as to what to do from the manufacturer).
