GregP Jan 2020 11:31am, 15 Jan 2020 117,477 posts	0 GregP Two. Which is usual in a 'six racket' bag. I may have ranted about this before. A 'nine racket' back takes three, a 'twelve racket bag' takes four. You *can fit, in my case, six in a six bag, but the specific racket compartment takes two. The big space where the other four would have to go is clearly better suited to kit, towels and stuff. Don't misunderstand - my bag is a fine thing if you carry a pair of rackets plus assorted sweathsirts, towels and whatnot. It's just a bit useless for six rackets. Also - I see no reason why anyone at modest club level would ever need to carry more than, say, three rackets anyway.

GregP Jan 2020 12:02pm, 15 Jan 2020 117,485 posts	0 GregP At the risk of sounding a bit Tarquin, balls just happen. They just are. You just wander into the clubhouse and get some balls (new for matches, one-use-only for club nights, couple of uses ones for coaching). Old balls presumably are given to the local poor for food and bedding. [Glenn and Dougal really need to take me aside and knock this out of me - I feel dirty just typing it].
TRO Saracen Jan 2020 12:13pm, 15 Jan 2020 20,340 posts	0 TRO Saracen So basically balls are communal, and you can just grab a couple whenever you need them. I'd imagine Posh Pam considers her annual subs a bit of a bargain...
Nicholls595 Jan 2020 12:15pm, 15 Jan 2020 18,674 posts	0 Nicholls595 ... and these free balls are all yellow?
