Um,thanks for all of the help!It seems outdated,but it'll be good for training for.So I guess I'll use my mom's racket for high school!

Oops,forgot to mention.Should I use my mom's old racket from high school or buy a new one for me when I start high school????My mom's Yonex Carbonex 8 full carbon shaft or the Yonex Isometric 75 MF Light 2007???What's better more power,but less sweet spot?Or big sweet spot and overall goodness.*not sure goodness is a word,but w/e ^_^*

anyway, get a graphite racket. it helps to develop your strokes.

Usually stroke developed after you have plague in your blood vessel. Try to avoid that one.

I have one, which I bought for S$40 at Sports Link Woodlands in Singapore.
I use it sometimes when I'm feeling angry.. because it's a whip. It even sounds like a whip because of the frame..

i have had stroke before, albeit a mild one. no long term effects. so in order to prevent the medical stroke from coming, I'm doing badminton strokes to keep myself healthy

not so sure but i think wood racket is ended in beginning '80 era. Do you still have an equipment to adjust the frame shape with press method ? it's really antique

back in the late 80s i bought a used cab 8 ( green color and stamp HK on the handle cap , possible was made in 1984-85? ) off my friend older brother from hong kong and was it super mint shape . i love this racket , i still has it till this day but i dont use it any more . i had blacken , cab 15 , 20 and 21 and i sold them all back then and i only kept the cab 8 !

i am looking for a yellow one , anybody has one ?
