POST A PICTURE OF YOUR FIRST EVER PROPER RACKET HERE! Just a place to put up pictures of your first proper racket, you know, the one that really got you started into badminton... there is always a special place for that first racket!
Don't have it to hand as i gave it to my uncle as he plays less than me. I loved it though, really got me going and helped my game so much. When i was younger and poorer it was my baby
My first proper racket was this (now very battered) "Browning CarboTech" - circa 1997. Before that, I did have a couple of "Jaguar" steel rackets though.
My first racket was a Carlton Airblade Smash, I don't know if I still have it, all I remember is that it was rather heavy, at least 110g. With a external T-joint.
