Racket stock check!

[lalanthier]

im a newbie, been playing badminton for only a week, i only have one racket (yet) carlton airblade200.

i want to have a yonex though...

btw, why do u keep so many rackets?

do u really need them?

Well we need 'em because we need backup just in case. But we keep on buying over the years and testing out. So we have a collection
other than that...I think it's just cause we might be fanatics.

[lalanthier]

Racquets to get some time soon:

MP100
Ti-10

POSSIBLY AT700 (if I try it again and like it, last exerpience was bad)

[Qidong]

An RSL lover here.

1 Prince ICE-Ti (stock string) (already gave it to my sister)
1 RSL Titanium Attack 3220 (3U-G4) (with chipped paint, M68@23lbs)
2 RSL Millenium Heat Ti 4900 (3U-G5) (one has a gash on the head at the 2o'clock position, paint is cracked and I don't know how much structural damage was sustained. The mishap happened earlier today, I still smashed with the damage 4900, feels nothing is wrong, no loss of power so I just had it retensioned to RSL-Ti 650@19lbs from BG-66@23lbs. The other one is the backup strung with BG66@21 lbs.

Rackets in bag (In sequence of the most favourite to the least):

1. MP99 (3U) (Accurate, powerful when swing it properly, sensitive)
2. Gosen Roots Gavun Aermet 3600 (3U) (Light, extreme good at drive/clear)
3. Ti 7 Light (3U) (Similar structure as Ti 10, slightly flex than Ti 10, take it as 3U/Regular version of Ti 10)

In term of stiffness: Ti 7 Light > MP99 > Gosen Aermet 3600

Rackets not in use/Wait for restrung -> resurrection
1. ISO Swing Power 900 SR (3U)
2. Aerotus 110

In term of stiffness: Aerotus 110 > ISO Swing Power 900 SR

See, all are 3U rackets.


Rackets for sale/put aside/not suitable to me in this moment:
1. Carbonex 20
2. Carbonex 21
3. Carbonex 20 Muscle (3U)
4. ISO Tour 800 (2U)
5. Ti 10 HK (2U) (Rare version, like it but definitely not for weak-waist player like me.)

7. RSL Millennium Attack Ti 3200 (3U)
8. ProKennex Carbonpro 787 (3U)

More CAB30MS (3U)'s?!! Looks like somebody has gone cabby crazy!

[FEND.]

Wow you guys sure have been playing long. Nice collection of rackets you guys have. As a student, I have little budget for rackets and so have only recently got 2 rackets after I have been using a Carlton Aerogear 18

Current Rackets
Yonex Mp 23 (the recently released one)
Yonex Carbonex 8600 light

Retired Rackets (But Useable)
Carlton Aerogear 18
Yonex Carbonex 8

[Aznsmartguy]

I'm in the same boat as Fend. I'm still a student so I haven't played for very long and don't have much money to spend. Only time I can get rackets is when my parents' friends go to China and buy them for about 20-30 dollars cheaper than here in the U.S.

So far I have:

Yonex B-460(?) - Can't remember what model it was and I don't know where I put it
Yonex Isometric 63 MF - My first "real" racket sorta
Yonex MP 88 - My good old muscle power
Yonex Armortec 700 - Just got this a few weeks ago
