    The last racquet I bought was 4 years ago. It was the short one for children!

    What fields do you want in your poll?

    maybe the poll should be how many racquets you buy a year or something.
    with 1/2 for every 2 years, 1/4 for every 4 years and so on if it's not a yearly affair.

    or maybe it could be, "How many rackets do you buy in a year?"

    Bought 3 at once in 1999 then I waited untill this summer when I accidently bought another 11 within a few months (Ok so I had an 8 year lay off so I had a built up shopping need). That makes 1,4 rackets/year. Before 1999 I think I bought 2-3 a year since 1983.

    Funny, I always had a reputation of beeing a spender when it came to rackets. After reading a while here on BC I find my habits quite modest.

    When I played competitive I bought 4 rackets in 3 years, then I didn't play for 6 years, then on and off for 2 years then took another 3 years off (kids) and started playing again this year and bought 5 rackets and a stringing machine.

    Usually get at least 1 racket a year. This year has been a little different got 4 so far. If I find a racket I like I usually get 2 or 3 of them. Handy when you break a string at a tournament and can pull an identical racket out of the bag.
