Name your oldest racket and how long you have had it for Mine is My Yonex Ti-3 had it since October 2001 and still use it now and again and my 2nd oldest racket is MY MP 100 got that back in August 2003.
my first decent racket was a second handed yonex b-8000 in 1980 something like that. it was broken at it's t join around 1982 after a smash. i guess it's all about a metal fatigue.
The one I still have is a YY Blacken c.1980. I used to have a couple of wooden YY c.197x. I think they conveyed with the house when my parents sold the latter.
A wooden Carbonex 3! Don't even know if such a racket really exist or just a fake one but it's missing now after soooooo many years.
Mine is a wooden Yonex Slim Stainless. Had it since say around 1977 or 1978. Been sitting in a racket press without strings probably for 20 years (in perfect condition.) I've ordered a stringing machine, so will string it just for fun and see how it goes. ( Anyone know what tension old wooden rackets should use?)
My 1st 2 rackets where bought in earlier 1980s. Wooden head frame with steel shaft. Can't remember the brand, though.
In my memory, it's Bronco 100 or something like that It was bought around 1988, one of the very first racket that I bought when I was little.
Until recently I had my father's old all wood raquet that he played with when growing up ( he's now 62, so I'm guessing the raquet is 40+ years old)It came in a press and the grip was as big as most new tennis raquets. Wood is was so old and dry that a stringer wouldn't even re-string it.
old racket Hi, My old junkie was an old wooden Dunlop racket in 1960s. I used it to play with adults in my primary school after school time. After the games, I used the wood cramp frame to tighten it,so it wouldn't warp in d warm and humid weather. Now, I had misplaced it away after migrated to another country.:crying: Now, my oldest is a Balcken Yonex B-8100. Still alive kicking. My Yonex Carbonex 20 is also going to be antic soon.D first batch ones. Lee
My oldest racquets are the Yonex Ti-7 and the Yonex Carbonex 15. Had it since I started learning badminton. I know for sure the Ti-7 Mesh I have now is the first generations of Ti-7, but I'm not sure about the Carbonex 15
