    Share with me which racket you use, and if you can, explain why you chose the Racket ;D

    Mine is The Carlton Vapour Trail Elite (89g). I use it because of the power my friend had with his ;O
    Also it's shiny c: Main reason though, is because Carlton is an English company, and I overflow with English pride (I hate tea AND crumpets >:C)

    Now you ;3

    Hello,

    I also don't like bitter or tasteless tea because it defeats many purposes of having a tongue(including Crumpets). And in fact there are many other healthier and far better tasteful drinks/snacks. But, in terms of Badminton - I use Karakal M-tec 70 at 28 lbs string BG 68 Ti (as of now). Although I prefer BG 85 because it is better all around. Once my 68 Ti snaps I'll try Nano 98. I striped all the grip until it reached just wood and then griped it with the thinnest I could find which would be GAMMA (black) overgrip only. I like my karakal racket due to its super light weight(70g) which is something I can max out my wrist snap & strength due to my 120 lbs of weight. Since I am 5'6'', the grip I use matches the proportion of my hand. The quality of the racket so far is really good, I always jump smash drive drop cross court play backhand and do circus shots that do make it over the net (some are awful but gets the job done) I have only chiped the racket so far and it still looks good. Of course any expensive racket that collides another will break. And it took a month til my BG 85 string to snap @ 28 lbs.
    Hope thats helpful,
    Merry Christmas :)
