Sick shot. I've got 6 myself (3 customized and in play, 3 currently unstrung and uncustomized) and a ton of grommets!!!
This picture is from earlier this summer when I only had 5, but I'm an "even numbers" kinda guy.

What happened to your dad?
Just inherited all this from my dad. More than what I know what to do with. Stringer not pictured. And I just reduced my racquets 2 years ago.

He passed away, so all his tennis gear came to me, the other tennis addict in the family. I had reduced my gear down to 3 Ai98 and 2 PT280 but now...

managed to botch this match, and i cant blame racquet, beer, or stress. i was up in the 1st set, only needed 2 more games to win. in complete control of the match, he was on his heels hitting defensive shots. then i ran outta steam after chasing balls down on a long point. got all tingly and nauseated ... im not in bad shape either, just pushed too hard, too fast. match was over at that point, i was doin my best just to stand up through the rest of it. bummer.

its sad that all these frames and i hit maybe once a weeki have enough in this pic to last me a year with a different frame each hit!
it sure is hard to narrow down to one though. with the power frames i always wonder if im missing out on some control. control frames i wonder if im missing some power. the stiff frames eventually cause discomfort, sometimes bad.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I guess it was sudden, he had many recent racquets..

Just got my strikes back from being weighted and matched up. Will post better pictures when I get them in the stringing machine.

Thanks man. I found them to be the best mix any rackets I've used so far. Babolats quality control however is not good, the weight balance and sw in all of them was so far off the mark.

Just received the two Cortex sticks in the mail. I am looking to get three GT's by the end of the year as well. Then it's on to the 2013 model to complete my collection.
The orig APD still one of the sharpest looking pj's babolats ever done

dude the black paint changes the swingweight by 18 and definitely adds at least 1.1197 grams from the black dye in the paint vs the red. whats wrong with you all. they are not even close to being the same frame. like a juice 105 vs a pro kennex q tour 330g

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm glad you two had tennis, and probably a lot more, to share together.

I thought I was a horrible racket hoarder (and I am) until viewing this thread a bit. I do see a lot of rackets of ownership's past, though.

When you throw in the cost of stringing all those frames, tennis balls, shoes, over wrap, dampeners, socks, sun block, club memberships, tape, sweatbands,
tennis resorts, tournament fees, medical treatments, etc. I probably exceeded the budget for a small country or two. And it's still not over.

New Project: customizing 2 IG Prestige Mids with black grommets, lead, and leather. Going to match existing string-ready frame which is(with string) 360g, and 372 SW with a HL Balance probably near 6pts.
Very at home and pleased with my TXT 95's and I'm more than comfortable with the Black Beasts Blade being my match stick this spring. But amongst the other frames that lay stringless in my closet: The Blood Whip(As I shall henceforth refer to my custom IG Mid(s)) has been on my to-do list for almost the entire year.
I said I'd post the revamped TXT 95's a while back, so voilà!, and also the 1st of 3 Blood Whips.

Just some mish mash. Nothing too sexy.
I need a reason to string up my Wilson 90's. Having 2 strung frames amongst a dozen and a half is like having enough chocolate sauce for just two bowls of Ice Cream.

If for nothing else, it's great to have around just to casually hit with. Absolute butter hitting. Alas, I don't use it in my matchplay right now for a few reasons, but it's still my favorite racquet.

"short, weak 2.5 version of Pete Sampras, except with slow serve and inconsistent baseline chopping game
IPA is my PED"
A graphene wielding mini-sampras drunk on IPA @n8dawg6 - for every new version of your sig I'm getting more curious about seeing your playing style haha
