    Doesn't matter to me
    2U, 3U, 4U
    G4-G2
    22-26lbs

    Balance; anywhere between 280 and 330 is fine for me.

    I'm not a really picky person when it comes to racquets and stuff.

    I have no clue how that could possibly help you...

    I'd say 35% of the market has a 3U, 35% a 4U, and 20% a 2U and 10% a 5U or U.
    about 50% has a G4, 30% a G5 and 20% a G3.
    and tension will get you in the 18-35lbs range...
    asking everybody what they'll have will get you nowhere;)

    Yep, that's what happens when you alternate between using a 3U AT700 and a 4U AT900T :D:D.

    I'm not sure about cab or iso, cause I've never really tried a carbonex, so I can't comment on that.

    hmmm, that must be hard to get used to.
    such different racquets to rotate between.

    3U weight but a head heavy 2U is good too - namely the black Yonex Ti 10, G5 grip with synthetic grip so it stays a G5, 26-28 for my tension works good for executing weak shots/shuttle placing.
