    4. 5 times/week during summer, and 3 times/week the rest of the year

    1) SOTX Woven 8, because it's a perfect balance for me of lightweight construction with a overall even-balance, which lets me transition between defense and offense more conveniently. Also, I love the general feel of the racket for each shot.

    2) Online, at ibuysports.com.

    3) My dad found the site, and I found quite a nice selection, as well as good deals.

    4) Anywhere, at community centers, badminton clubs, outside against my wall. At least once a week, sometimes two or three times a week.

    5) In a more serious manner, for about 3.5 years, but casually, for about 8 years.

    6) Teen male.

    7) Bay Area, California.

    1) What racquet(s) do you use and why this racquet(s)?

    Prospeed Trueno Z6
    - had a good feeling about these rackets
    - they are not clones of pricier, more established rackets
    - low selling price (offer bang-for-the-buck)
    - turns out that I like the 'feel'

    Ashaway Trainer Pro
    - was the only training racket I could get
    - needed a 'U' racket to work on my strokes (I'm very new to the game & need to work on the basics a lot)

    Pro Ace Nano 90 Speed
    - back-up rackets
    - liked the 'feel' after 'sessioning' them a fair bit
    - (really) don't like the idea that they're clones of NS9K, hence decided to move on to "less-of-a-copy" racket (can't discount the fact that I think they play real-swell, at least for me...)

    2) Where did you get it from?

    Prospeed Trueno Z6
    - online badminton store

    Ashaway Trainer Pro
    - local badminton store (LBS)

    - (different) LBS

    3) Why did you get it there?

    Prospeed Trueno Z6
    - couldn't get it anywhere else

    Ashaway Trainer Pro
    - couldn't get it anywhere else

    Pro Ace Nano 90 Speed
    - chanced upon it in a friendly-atmosphere
    - proprietor gave me assurance of replacement in event of breakage (backed-up product)

    4) Where do you usually play and how many times a week?

    Sports Halls & Community Centres
    - 02 x sessions/wk training
    - 02 x sessions/wk social badminton
