Some of these lists really make my jaw drop Personally I've always felt that the choice of equipment, though important, pales in significance to fitness and skill training. But then again, maybe I'm just a cheapskate

For me:

2 * Karakal SL-70

For other people to use:

1 * Pro-Kennex (I also use this for playing with plastics)
1 * Prince Force
1 * Slazenger Pro

With a growing collection like that do you still have time to play? Have started dusting them everyday? What about waxing them?

The collecting bug is something very time consuming. Do you manage to play with all the string ones? Don't you find it very hard to switch between different type of racquets(ie: iso head versus oval head)?

[other]

he sounds like an old player (old in that he's played a lot) and so i'm guessing he's had plenty of practise with both types

[svey001]

Thanks, if Bluejeff is quite old that make me ancient because in 1981 I was starting University.

did u use blacken for hockey? How the heck you broke this one or two?

[haven]

The older ones I broke while in training...
some in clashes with other racquets and some others
due to "hitting too hard" ?? Some of the others were
broken in competitions. . .

Bear in mind that the list has a history of about 20
years... so that'd make it an avrage of a racquet a
year *hahaha*

My parents did complain quite a bit everytime I broke
one... seeing that they were supposed to last longer...

[ayl]

Probably used it for squash training. Or, since he's a Western Australian now, he might have used it to swat pesky local flies or a couple of games of backyward cricket at a Sunday BBQ!

1x Carlton Carbon Classic
1x Carlton Boron Classic
1x Carlton Ceramic Classic
1x Carlton 85g
1x Pro Kennex Legendary Destiny
2x Proace (I can't remember the model no )

Oh, you have owned the Carbon Classic, Boron Classic and Ceramic Classic, why don't you buy the Kelvar Classic and to have a full set Classic??

I had the Boron Classic and Ceramic Classic before. Boron Classic is an excellent racket, but it was broken................. Ceramic Classic just broke when I first time to string it.

[haven]

The Kevlar Classic?
Well I wanted to get it but I ran out of allowance money after
I bought the Ceramic Classic (which was my fav at the time)

The Cab22 is so far the nicest to use...
Was so sad when I broke one... Luckily I had another one...
It's getting pretty hard to find.
