My Racquet Ratings

My name is Bruce , and I'm a racquetaholic

I can't even remember how I got this habit of accumulating racquets, but I have 20+ now, and it's getting out of control. I know some people have hundreds, so it's nice to know I'm not alone.

I thought I might as well start a blog about them, because I myself am always pleased to read other's opinions about a racquet's characteristics.

Yonex Glaflex

Yonex Glaflex
I used to love my black Yonex Carbonex 8 back in my beginner days, so when I saw this from the same era, I couldn't resist it. The Glaflex was normally also black, so I was a tad surprised when I found this red version. Its actually fibreglass over aluminium, and the result weighs in at over 14oz. It's head heavy and swings like a blacksmith's hammer.

On the Classic Racquet's forum they talked about a "muted thoonk" sound this thing makes - In my case,that was the sound of the ball hitting the back fence at the far end (and leaving a dent). The swing was so clubby I could hardly hit the ball in the first place, but when i did .... Oh well, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I'm more than happy to hear your own opinions, even if for some stupid pathetic reason they disagree with mine. :-)
