    Mine was an isometric slim-10.
    Hit a clear from the baseline, didn't sound right so looked at my racket. Had about a 15cm crack going through where the grommets are at the base of the head on the inside of the frame centred around the t-joint.

    my first YY racket was a Cab20 Tour SP (2U-G5), then got a chance to buy 2 pristine Cab21s (both 2U-G4) last year. I still need to get a couple of Cab20s or Cab30MSs.

    First yonex racket

    Hi,
    Mine was a wooden Dunlop racket. After that I bought a Yonex B-8100 blackened steel racket and an Aluminium Carlton racket. These were bought when I was in Primary school's time. U dont see wooden racket nowaday. It is history now. U just have to put a frame cramp after u have finished yr game, or yr racket frame might warped!!! I still have the Yonex B-8100 and the Aluminium Carlton rackets around. Keep them as museum pieces now.

    My first Yonex was a wooden frame racket "Yoniyama 8000 or 9000" and I'm in 40+ group.

    If I am not wrong the first steel frame is by Carlton and then Blacken came in a bit later.

    Isometric Slim-10
    Strung with Ashaway MicroLegend at about 20 pounds

    Hit a baseline clear and the inside of the frame cracked through the bottom grommets. Frame wasn't warped but the crack was from about 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock.
