Default Do you own a "just for fun" racquet?

Just wondering if any of you own a "just for fun" racquet?

By that I mean a racquet that you don't typically use in competition, just a racquet you like hitting with for fun every now and then. For whatever reason.

Cheers,
Ben

I meant to say if you do own a "just for fun" racquet, which racquet is it?

exactly. since i'm not a pro, tennis is "just for fun" and therefore all my rackets are such as well.

Yes, I typcially play with the standard range mid 11oz-12oz range 95-100sq in frame, but also have an old Yonex 90 and a heavy swinging Wilson Profile Oversize whale with a 36mm-ish thick beam.

I just kept a couple of mine from the 70s and 80s. I have that Kramer midsize, and a Wilson Advantage. I had the JK Pro Staff, but can't remember what happened to it.
