Show us your badminton racquets!

[cooler]

what do you mean by drop?? prices??!!!!

maybe I'll consider one if prices are coming down...

The model I'm seriously considering is the DSC-V1 from Sony. I really like the looks of it. Anyone have experience on it. I know it will not be as good as the purely digital slr for pros cameras out there but it should be sufficient for an amatuer right??

thanks for your input guys...


calvin

yes, that is a very very fine compact camera. I would had bot that if it came out 2 years ago. I bot minolta s404 instead. Good enough for point and shoot for now

 

[wood_22_chuck]

but canon is planning to drop their 300D again

If this happens AND flash compensation enabled, I'd get this over the D70 ...

Now, back to rackets ... PLEASE tell me you have more shirts hanging in your closet than rackets on your wall!

[wood_22_chuck]

Shame on you, Dave. Especially when you already own some Canon equipment!



Thanks to you Traum ... now I'm locked into Canon! argh!

It'd be a good first digital SLR, that 300D, if the prices really does come down AND flash comp. enabled.

Another Of Me-the-casual-player Rackets

Another racket that i owned.
It is a carlton airblade 500. Pretty good for smashing in my opinion, but control wise lacks a bit.

 

[SmashingPower]

check my raquets out. nice colours eh??
Left- Pointfore Ti 5500 - 132.5 canadian $
I poped it's factory string in 3 games after I bought it for 6 days.
Right- Yonex Carbonex 6000 - 87$ canadian $...worst value ever. ripped off price.
It's tension is around 15 lb lol...heavy as an anvil. I coloured it's strings. It's fun looking, cuz i loan it to some girls sometimes
there's something wrong with one of the raquets. something odd. see if u can find out. take a goooooood look.
the pic was taken by a Canon PowerShot S400 digital ELPH.

Holy Smoke! Please don't tell me that the other walls are the same. Did you even use every one of those babies?!

I am now having two walls like this. Another wall is full of the Vintage. I think I am a collect rather than a player.

Wow, you have 2 WALL of FRAME

 

[cappy75]

Geez! You got two additional walls filled with racquets?! I could never fathom the hearts and minds of collectors. I remember collecting action movie cards when I was a kid but I grew out of it. So, did the Mrs. say anything about your passion?
