I love checking out this thread, it makes me feel more normal with the fact I have so many racquets, shoes, bags, and now strings :) I will pull out my Wilson Kobra Tours tomorrow. Seeing yours just reminded me I haven't hit with them for awhile! I also need to update pics. Great collection, it's nice to see others love for the sport!

Thanks both. I'm now eyeing up the 2015 Tec ATP endurance bag as it looks like it has slightly more interesting organisational features...it's an illness :).

it has been a while and my collection got significantly bigger :shock:


^^ I find that once my racquet collection reaches "critical mass" (about this size) i start to feel guilty feeding my kids 2 minute noodles all the time just so i can buy more racquets and start purging them on ****. Which of course gives me more money to buy more racquets with :)

Here are mine - it's quite fun to try and get everything into one pic.

Latest addi(c?)tion... The 310 g version. I installed a Dunlop leather grip, base weight is 323 g now. Strung, and with overgrip, it's 348 g. Rather headlight, dare I say, too.
Will be fun to see how it hits. I knew some day I had to try out a Yonex with that isometric head shape ;)

Very nice Instinct XLs. I have two of the regular also.
A high school teammate of mine used the standard LM Instinct for several years before switching to Yonex, so I had a lot of opportunities to try it out. This was back when the LM Instincts were brand new. I really enjoyed the standard version, especially the fairly dense (18x19) pattern in a tweener frame. My only complaint was that it was too light.

Some years later I tried the XLs and really enjoyed the plow through coming from the extra weight and leverage. Recently I found a nice deal on The Bay for brand new Instinct Tour Xls, so I took the plunge.

Lol, it would be interesting to put blue and red side grommets and a white bumper guard. But that might look a little too over the top :) Go USA!

I haven't hit with them for a long time but remember them being pretty good. I can have arm issues so the flex was a positive given the power and spin. Not a ton of feel though.

I pretty much only play with the Ai98s now, it's such a good frame that I'm going to get rid of most of the others.

The prestige S rackets are good in theory but they are not that great to play with.

The Graphene Prestige S racquet is one of the most honest frames out there. You get out exactly what you put in. It's light (305 g) and flexy, so not a lot of power. It doesn't do any extra favors in terms of power or spin. One of my favorite frames, though.

Not sure where you are based but they are on UK **** at the moment with a sensible starting price (along with a load of my other excess tennis stuff). They are the only ones there but I have the same username so should be findable...
