Good question, Don. I use the racquets that suit my game, and I am VERY picky about them. Fortunately, with one exception, none is an expensive model. In fact, the very most expensive racquets are also the lightest ones, and they don't supply sufficient power for my style of play.
I don't mean to denigrate anyone's choices regarding the use of M1 but I do reject the notion that it is some sort of panacea that makes it the lubricant of choice for everyone. While it may be superior to regular oil in its chemical and physical characteristics (which can be scientifically proven), for some of us that doesn't matter, based on such criteria as where we live 9climatic conditions), our driving habits, and how devoted we are to our cars. I've also read on the list of issues associated with transitioning an engine over to M1 from conventional oil, such as leaks and operating abnormalities in the adjustment period. This, coupled with the added expense, is why I am not going to switch my 276 K wagon from Pennzoil or Rotella or whatever happens to be on sale (that is MB Approved, of course) to M1. As regards filters, I draw the line and only use Mann, Knecht, or Hengst.
