i have been reading in this forum... but i have no clue what
the information on the sticker on my yonex racket means...

2u
g4
16~20lbs
7~9 kg

2u= the weight of racket which is for ur case 90-94g
g4=size of grip which is small for urs
16-20Lb 7-9kgs = recomended tension...

thanks for ur quick reply...

do u or anyone have any idea any other ranges or
meaning for other code?

eg. 3U (i've read about it somewhere) what's its weight range

or if G4 means small grip, any other code and its corresponding meaning?

are these information(s) international standards or
just a practice by yonex?

i actually have 3 rackets (but yet to string 1)

-cab8000
-cab880 tour sp
-cab20 tour sp (unstrung)

all bought from discounts/promotions

(hey i'm not $$$)

=>i'm not pro enough to feel the effects of using 2 diff
rackets in playing... (is it really unhealthy?)
unless u're talking abt isometric head and round head...
i also have iso25 and iso50... ends up hitting the shuttlecock
with the frame 1/2 the time... (not used to iso head

)

=>i thought that "tour sp" supposed to mean better, but
my friends, father and i all thought that cab8000 is
lighter and stronger...

(unless there r other criterions in deciding a good racket)...

i'm also trying to find out more abt stringing, which of course,
will b in another post...
