The last racquet I bought was 4 years ago. It was the short one for children! What fields do you want in your poll?
every 3 months every 6 months every 12 months once the current racket breaks once new model launch others - please specify.....
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.
I beat Cheung. The last racket I bought was 6 years ago . I beat Cheung. The last racket I bought was 6 years ago. .
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.
I buy one when I get fed up with the one I have or when I have a lot of money to spend usually about every 8 monthes or so
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.
just bought one last month, but since i'm coming off a long hiatus, i wanna experiment with different rackets to find the right fit
