I guess I'm weird, but I'm the type of guy who searches for the holy grail racket for me and my playing style and once I find it, I want several because of a stupid fear that they might stop making it or if something happens.

I do this with my favorite things. I have backup colognes of the same make and shoes and some other things as well.

i have shopped for that "perfect" racquet forever and just keep buying - last winter i bought about 30 racquets but i am keeping mine. i was going to put them on flea bay but decided i would just keep them.
l love them and i am going to keep them. as long as i can hide them from the wife. lol

I dunno why TW has such a problem with them; TW's prices are pretty fantastic on most of their stuff, and they price-match. I'll admit it's the one reason I dislike retailers running forums like this, because they try to block anything resembling competition, and that's a bad thing.

Meanwhile... the racquet I'm waiting on to arrive is actually an O3 Hybrid Tour, not an Ozone Tour. I goofed.

Funny, I know this is old, but I had just a look through that store on the site with the name that we can't mention. Looks like they have some PS 6.0 85 up for sale, new and for 149$ Makes me wonder if they are older stock or the TW re-edition. If so, how come they have them?i thought only TW has them

Beautiful collection!! I must say.

I used to have a decent count (> 60). Now, I only keep the ones that I actually use: Head i.prestige mid, Prince Spectrum Comp 90, and Pro Tour 280 MP.

Thats good news. The woods are also tons of fun just not in hitting matches against the graphites.

Yessir! I find they work best for me. I got a stringer and have ordered some spin polys to try out. Will let you know how it works out!

I just bought my 7th Prince POG Longbody. I really like this stick, and since it's discontinued and becoming semi-rare, I'm stocking up. Especially since, years ago, one of my POG Mids developed a crack near the throat.
And yep, I've stocked up on grommet sets.
If Prince re-issues the Longbody next year, it'll probably play different from its 1st generation. I ain't takin any chances.
