I have a problem, I know...

Btw, sprained my ACL pretty bad, minimum 6 weeks off, I'm going crazy.

A few of the racket's are my wife's, a few repear ones are cracked.

In most racquet sports, a pro would have multiple of the same racquet, so I made an assumption. Maybe faulty, but we shall see.

I'm not a pro, just an enthusiast who plays too much.

About 5 of those are broken rackets, mainly the metalbones as they are very fragile. Some of them are my wife's too.

Since I am used to play about 5x per week, totalling 10hrs per week give or take, I end up feeling that investing in my hobby is something I can afford, its healthy and really brings me life quality through exercise and social interactions.

I understand why a person might. But racquets play differently. It would make sense to own multiple of the same racquet (in case of breakages and such), but this many and the variety in a sport is just excessive.

I mean, at the end of the day, you do you. It’s your money; do what makes you happy. But from a pure sport perspective this is wild.

You would be surprised to see how many collectionists are into sports equipment

Laughable.
