Wow amazing collection sir..
I am wondering.. Do you have all three generation of the b8100? and the b8200 New prince? I have never seen that racket in person before, so would be cool to see.
And perhaps any of the Yonex Widebody series (Predecessor to Aerotus)

You should open a racket museum.

Thx, These are all the blacken and blacken 2 rackets I have. They are different, note white endcap and old logo 1978-1998 and logo pre 1978 Also different T-joints and text on shaft. There is only one widebody (WID30) I have the cover but not the racket. Both the new prince white and the black edition not in my posession yet. if you want to see all rackets they are in my album Yonex on FB. (Pascal van der Sman)

Isometric 800 Tour - My main racket as a teenager.
Astroex 100zz - Best feeling racket I've tried so far.

I also had a few Carbonx rackets and a silver Pro Kennex but gave them away to friends.

Here is my Carbonex 10 in burgundy. The best part is the head being coated in a sort of glassy/carbon fibre whereas the Carbonex 8 and 9 were plain metal heads

IMHO believe that the head frame is actually made entirely of carbon fibre rather just coated. I have one myself and it sounds very different when you tap on it when compared to a metal frame. It would take more take more then just a coating to make it sound so different. Nevertheless thanks for showing us those pictures. It’s a fairly rare racket…I’ve only come across maybe a couple of others besides the one I have in over five decades of playing badminton.

Hello Zion,

Maybe you can try to contact QLT-SPORTS. They are the authorized JNICE dealer in the Netherlands.

fantastic collection Pascal! I wonder, among all of your racket collection, especially the oval racket (carbonex), what is your most favorite? because i'm a big fan of carbonex series (and still using it until today!)
 
Here are the rackets that I have collected over the years,

rackets.jpg

From bottom to top,
1. Maxbolt Woven Black
2. Yonex Astrox 100zz kurenai
3. Yonex Astrox 100zz blue
4. Yonex Astrox 77pro
5. Yonex Astrox 77pro
6. Victor Thruster F enhanced
7. Victor Auraspeed 98k
8. Babolat x-feel essential
9. Babolat satelite lite ( not in pic, at stringer's)
10. Lining Windlite 700 II
11. Lining Windstorm nano 73

All the rackets are 4u g5. Although the width of the handles on the Babolat are more like a g6. When I measure the thickness of each handle after wrapping with an over grip, its in between 26.5 mm and 27.5 mm.

I guess the wooden cab3 and the cab10 burgundy. (because of black endcap, my blue cab10 has a green one) I guesss its because the black one is imported out f asia but not sure.
