    What is the difference between where the racquets are manufactured from?

    Yonex rackets high-end rackets are made in Japan and low-end rackets are made in Taiwan.

    Haven't heard or seen any China-made Yonexes before.

    There are quite a number of Yonex models made in China - the Basic series and some of the lower end of Carbonex, ISO and MP series are made in China. They are priced lower than those Taiwan made models.
