    Yes - this brings back fond memories....

    The first racket I ever owned was back in the late 70s - it was a Yonex alluminium frame racket with a number series, I think it was Yonex 4500 but I can't be 100% sure. But I remembered it's frame was of a lovely sky blue colour.

    Unfortunately after using for about 2 years - I crashed it during a double match on the frame and dented it.:crying: After that although I tried to find a replacement but the market did not carry that model anymore - that's when the cabonex series start to swamp the badminton world!

    B-450, its like a 1u racket freaken heavy, but lots of swing power and hitting hard is probably the only thing it can do

    My first Yonex racquet.... Aerotus 100...given to me by Foo Kok Keong many many many many years ago he was still playing for malaysia then i think.... leaned in against my coffee table....it just dropped to the side and when it hit the floor...the racquet head cracked !! :( i think it could be the high tension....the racquet was so light ....if i remembered correctly, I was quite heart broken because apparently it was really expensive agagaga oh well.... :)
