I have reduced my racquets to just three : 1 x AT 700 2 x MP 99 Just last week I traded two of my MP100 for a new AT700 and sold an Iso 800 Tour. About 3 months ago, I had a free give-away of about 20 of my old racquets to four of my friends. These included a Carbonex 9, Carbonex 15, a Carbonex 21 SP, various Taiwanese and Japanese racquets.
