.:My Arsenals of War!!!:.

As you all may know, my passion for badminton is an undying one.Till the extend I don't mind playing the game on a everyday basis. Currently I spend 14 hours a week just on badminton.Many would think that badminton is a backyard game which you play at picnics.If you do think so then you are very wrong.Badminton is an internationally recognised sport.It is even played at the Olympics games.

Being a badminton player you need equipment to play the game.Equipment such as a badminton racket, shuttles and shoes.Here I am going to show you what I normally bring to my badminton session.

Here is my Yang Yang badminton bag.It is a 3 compartment bag that is able to fit 12 racket.Its a big bag that allows me to stuff a lot of stuff inside.Plus, it is has a double strap backpack that give me mobility unlike the usual sling back which can be a pain in the neck.




The first compartment stores my rackets. The second , middle ones stores my medical kits which houses for quick remedies for sport injuries , shuttlecocks, grips, strings and my thermal jacket.The last compartment is to store my shoes, new change of clothes and dirty ones too.


I have a total of 8 rackets.Some people think its crazy to have such a huge amount of rackets.Trust me I have seen someone who have more than 50 over rackets. Its like playing each point with a different racket.Having said that I do wish to acquire more rackets but I don't have any money at the moment. Here a run through of the name and the make of each racket.Start with the racket on the left.

1. Prince Whip Lite 700
2.Yang Yang Nano Sensation 100
3.Yang Yang Nano Sensation 80 (Unstrung)
4.Yang Yang Nano Sensation 80
5.Yonex Ti 10 Titanium Mesh Long SP
6.Yonex Blacken B-8100 SP
7.Pro Badminton Academy 2005 ( Frame Snapped)
8.Apacs Nano 9000 Speed

My favourite rackets would be the Yonex Ti 10 Titanium Mesh Long SP and Yang Yang Nano Sensation 80.The Yonex Ti 10 Titanium Mesh Long SP is the exact same racket that is used by newly crowned Malaysian doubles men champions, Koo Kien Kiat and Tan Boon Heong. Here are some close ups of the racket.It is an amazing racket with tons of control and superb power.It is also my most expensive racket that I ever bought. RM 530.



My second favourite racket would be of the lightest racket that I have ever used the Yang Yang Nano Sensation 80.Its a racket that feels like you are wielding a racket that's made of feathers.It is very light compared to the others that I have.It lacks power,but for control and placing play its a marvellous racket.Here are the close ups of the racket.



The Prince Whip Lite 700. Needless to say a racket that have been with me for aeons.I got this racket when I was 9 years old!! Its have been with me for the competitions when I was in primary , secondary school and college. Its a solid racket that can never seems to break. I am still very amazed that it last for 12 years.



Shoes are very important to any sports players.It can elevate a sportsman game play to an unimaginable level.So here we go.My Asics Gel Indoor shoes. This is also the exact same shoe used by Nicole David , the Malaysian Squash Queen. Just that she has the one in red and mine is blue. An awesome shoes. It can really take all the stress that I pound on it. Great traction on the courts which does not make me slide all over the court.


Lastly, my medical kit..

So that's all for today.If you want to know more about badminton and how beautiful the game is or you just want to know more about the stars in the sport please do visit:
