    Dear Forum,
    long time reader first time poster here,

    is anyone able to identify the racket in the image below?
    It seems to have a rather unique grommet design, but I have no idea,
    from what year or brand the racket is.

    It seems to have a silverish head, a red "T" zone and a darker shaft.
    Or could this be a cheap alluminium racket that has only been put in the machine for the photo?

    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks and best wishes to everyone!

    Yonex Carbonex 8DX? Carbonex 8 came in different colours/specifications including red T and cone.

    But the frame/grommets look different.

    Thanks for your reply! It looks similar indeed, but the grommet design do look different.

    It's Prince's patented O-Port holes. Grommetless.

    not 8DX. i have one and it is not different than the cab8 in terms of the frame design.

    also not convinced it is the Prince o-port as there is clearly gommets.
