    Post your Yonex serial numbers here!

    if you have a yonex racket with the new serial number scheme, post it here!

    also post the purchase date so we know how to correlate release date and serial number...

    there should be two sets of numbers, one on the shaft and one on the cone with country code like the photo below..

    mine & friend's:

    It looks like the cone numbers begin with a date (DDMM) format.

    hehe, Yonex must be very impressed if they know that there is actually a group of fanatics who is trying to figured out the meaning of the serial number which they might only used to keep track of their record. :D

    let's solve the puzzle!

    I will post mine when I get home. :)

    !!!!

    very nice observation.

    but is it DDMMxx or xxMMDD?

    it looks like DDMMxx as the xx is often repeated. (notice ayl's xxxx22JP and jcb's xxxx22JP)

    intriguing.. i think we still need more data points. help us out guys... Pete? Ricky? you guys have tons of rackets... :)
