    1. LN N50II (singles, mixed)
    2. LN N50 (doubles)
    3. LN N70 (singles, sometimes doubles/mixed)
    4. PP Precision (singles, doubles with weak partners=>defensive)
    5. YY Ti-10 (doubles)/LN N90 (singles)

    As I've trained a lot with lighter rackets recently, I feel the N90 is a bit sluggish when I leave the back court, and lacks a bit of touch around the net. Perhaps I still need to build up more forearm strength :D Anyway, the N50II is now my singles reference, and the N50 my first choice in doubles. If I need more control in singles, I switch to the N70 or PPP (very controlled, but not suited for smashing from far back), if I need more power in doubles (i.e. when I'm playing with a good front player who doesn't have a good smash), I switch to N50II/N70. Sometimes I prefer the lighter Ti-10 when there's a lot of flat fast exchanges.

    This week:

    1. Arc10 - So predictable! Got me another two now. My go to racket for serious play.

    2. Cab 30ms - Has it all. Allways in my bag.

    3. Arc Z-slash - Finaly i've figured it out. When timing is right, no other racket delivers like this one.

    4. Ti10 - For MD.

    5. Nanospeed 7000 - for MD as well

    just outside list

    - AT700 - The BIG gun
    - cab 35 - Why oh why did they make it short!!!
    - nanospeed 6000 - nah, I'm to strong now

    1. LN N50II (singles, doubles, mixed) [VS850@25/LN AP62@26]
    2. LN N70 (singles, doubles, mixed) [LN AP101N@25]
    3. LN N50 (doubles) [BG80@26/27]
    4. YY Ti-10 (doubles) [BG80@24]
    5. LN N90II (doubles) [BG80@25]

    Surprisingly, no big changes there - the N70 has been my favorite lately, but the N50II still performs better. The precision with this racket is awesome, and its a bit faster which comes in handy in defense and drives. Smashing is fun and powerful, although I think they're a bit better with the N70. N90 feels slow at the net, but incredibly powerful when smashing. Need to build up forearm strength :/

    Man, I can't believe I haven't played this game yet! Now, keep in min that technically I've been playing for 23 years, with a slight 18 year break in between to 'recuperate'! In no particular order.....

    1. Victor Bravesword 10 (A classic)
    2. Victor Bravesword 12 (a big call seeing I've only had it for a month!)
    3. Victor Superwaves 35 (One day I'll be good enough for this racket)
    4. Carlton Vapour Trail Tour (more people would use it if it was actually widely available. The Z-Slash done properly)
    5. Yonex Arcsaber Z-Slash (just because it's so dumb and obnoxious, it's uber cool. It's easier to lose when you look this good!)

    Shouldn't it not be:

    1. SiW35
    2. SiW35
    3. SiW35
    4. SiW35
    5. SiW35

    Isn't this not a better line up for everyone ?:p
