Close your eyes, spin around, reach down and grab one for the day? Hope you are doing well, my friend!

I can’t either. I have about 30 different rackets and I still want more lol

I just counted, I have 36 more on the "wall." I gave 8 away in the last week and half.

When I switch to a frame I think I need to keep myself away from this website for a few months

is this bragging in disguise?

I don't think there's any disguise to it...

But seriously, the only issue I'd have w/ changing like that is the grip shape. Going from Wilson -> (old) Head -> Prince -> Volkl -> Babolat would drive me crazy.

Also, I see a few brands missing...like Yonex. I have an old RDS 001 98 that would fit right in w/ the Volkls and Heads...

@hurworld , it is not bragging but just an issue I have with tennis rackets. At my age and skill set I enjoy the feel of different rackets from day to day. Couple that with how different strings at different tensions play better against certain types of hitting partners keeps my interest. Hitting against a 30 yr old baseline basher who grew up on poly in Pure Aero-like sticks is different than hitting with a 71 yr old wood racket era player or feeding balls to a 50yr old 5'3" 3.0 lady. I did convert all my Head TK82 pallets to TK82S. Couple all that and the fun I get out of having players try out various rackets rather than stay "married" to the same old stick means I have to have a few. Or like the other day when a fella said he would like his lady friend to demo some rackets I told him come over and lets see what might fit or interest her. I gave them 5 I think, she was pretty cute

Nice collection! I'm moving along to keeping one of every frame that I really like and getting rid of the rest. For now, I have way too many!

There’s no perfect frame, and to make things wilder, different frames can suit one better on different days.
For me buying and trying has evolved to be part of the fun called tennis.
