    No that isn't fun indeed...it's obviously green:p

    as for this thread, for me it's mostly availability, my racket/shirts/shorts are Sotx...because I sell them.
    My shoes are yonex, because they fit (sotx shoes aren't available in my size, EU46-47)
    strings are ashaway, because I can get them at a good price...

    I think it's not the most helpful thread in the world, but without fanboys it's okay;)

    Rackets

    Sotx because of its durability and the feel.

    Strings

    Yonex BG80. I was previously using BG65Ti but after reading DinkAlot's ratings, i tried the 80 and wow!!

    Grip

    I use prince grips. The tennis grips seem more durable.

    Clothing

    Any shorts and t-shirt will do... no preference...

    Socks

    Nike!

    Shoes

    Mizuno Wave

    Bag

    Yonex... haven't really tried other brands...

    Not a brand-conscious person but I prefer Yonex professional level racquets and New Balance shoes..

    Shuttles... I prefer either Yonex or this 'tournament' brand shuttles because they fly better.
