yep, that's why yonex had re-named it as "blacken" afterwards!
u know, eric clapton's favourite guitar was named 'blackie' too!;)

wow, it says you can smash @ 280 kph with a blacken. that means FHF using the ti-10/ns9k smashing @ 320 kph is not really that big an improvement from 30 years ago!

have the blackenII but not blackie, cab15, cab20. i grow up with yonex! the cab15 ad is a re-released one piece shaft. comes with two colors: purple or turquoise. i have the cab15 purple and the cab 15 original black.

you had to put that first pic up because it was called "red":D

blacken - I had one of those,

cab 8 - world's best selling racquet. I had one of those.

cab20 - masterpiece - used by Zhao jian Hua to win All England 1984 and Han Jian in World Championships 1985. Still used by Xia Xuan Ze to win the World Champsionships in 2005! What a classic masterpiece. I've had 9 of those!!!!! no, over my lifetime I've owned 11. Sold two of them when I was very young (and very stupid):crying: really regret it now.

i think he meant 2003 when XXZ beat WCH for the MS title.

I have a UG3 cab20, 3 blacken, 1 cab8 (sold 2 new ones), sold a B-4500 (blue alum. & steel)

sorry, my bad. hehe

I hadn't even known about some of these rackets before. Good history lesson for me. Thanks. :D

i'm sure he did that in chronological order rather than just because it was red. although i must admit, it would have been tempting!
