Researching Old Yonex Rackets

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/reviews/showcat.php/cat/4

review section here is pretty good! you'll find most old yonex models.

 

In the new few weeks, I will be obtaining the old 1999 catalogue which contains the Swing Power 900. I currently own (well recently found) in my house once again the year 2000 catalogue which ahs the Ti-10 and Ti Swing power in it as well. I do not know if the 600 was in there or not.

Since I am not at my home in BC, I do not have access to those catalogue at the present time.

 

do scan them in for us when you get home, that'll make a very interesting read indeed ...

 

Alrighty! =) I will do the next time I go back to BC for the weekend.

 

cheers, even if we can't get some of these racquets anymore, it's always nice to remenience.

 

I recieved the Yonex 1999 and 2000 catalogs today. I only scaned a few pages which were the high-ends. If you want some others which are in the catalog, you request it.

can i have the technology overview and the Aerotus feature? (if its still in the catalog..)

thanks!

 

The Aerotus series is not in the catalog unfounratley. Possibly because it is exclusive to Japan only. They possibly are listed in the older Yonex Japan catalog if anyone can find any.

I do know that The Aerotus was like a wide body racket - probably for aerodynamic effect.

 

huhu... coz me dad's racket is (and still is!) is an Aerotus 70, antique... 20++ years... wonder if its true, 20 years?!

 

Well in Japan the Yonex Aerotus is out there. Just current the current models.

 

ice winterboy is selling one currently.http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39676&highlight=isometric+600

 

I think he ment 900 Swiing Power!

 

ummm, it's kinda hard to request something when i'm not too sure what's in the catalouge.
i don't suppose the boron or older carbonex series are still there?

 

their stringing recommendations are a joke.

Main: 16-18lbs
Cross: 18-20lbs

??

there are only a few people i know who play at these tensions ...

 

perhaps a scan of the contents page? hehe... if ya can mate..

 

The page doesn't have contents just like the current ones.

The first picture on the left on 1999 and the right on the 2000 indirectly have table of contents. If you notice the racket comparisons. What is listed is what the catalogue has.

The the recommendeds are quite low for some reason. Well for the the Swing Power 900 recommened tensions had increased for the the 2004 production models as noted on the label of the racket. Not sure if the same happened to the Ti versions.

 

in that case, can i request the pages for the cab 20 long, cab 22, cab 21 from the 1999 catalouge?

and the ti-8, ti-7 and cab 23 from the 2000 catalouge?

 

Sure, I'll have it posted it late afternoon.

 

Here Dramazz,

As you requested.
