This racket was introduced in 1987-88 and should be made in Singapore. Balance should be head heavy, and the price point was US$36-38 at that moment, At the same time, Cab 20 was around US$43 and was the most expensive racket in Hong Kong.

I have the 1st generation YB50i, but the racket is too old and no good for hard hitting. YB55 should be the 2nd generation of Yamaha Graphite Racket, if the final price is within US$10, I think it is still worthful to try it. But don't expect it will be as good as nowadays' racket.

i used to have a Yamaha racket..Pretty sukky though(brought in SG)
No much power though(at least i think) and is very heavy.
