http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonex It cover the approximately 2 decades of past yonex rackets. I have added Isometric 200 AND Isometric Swing Power 500 to that list from my first glance at it.
lol Thanks for the link Cooler. When I get some more time, I'll write a bit of what I know about the Boron 200 & Aerotus, and post some pics, if they allow uploads. I think we can always request or add categories to the wiki, yes/no?
Great efforts! Nonetheless it does miss out quite a number of "Made in Taiwan/China" Yonex models that are available in Asia. Problem is these rackets do not appear in any official/proper Yonex catalog. Has anyone (especially members who have dealing with Sunrise) seen a Sunrise distribution catalog, if such thing exist?
yeah, nice list, though it'd be presentationally nicer to have all the caps and stuff like that the same. i've always wondered, why has there never been a titanium 4 or 9, anyone know?
Great list cooler! Got some great stuff to read about now even though I don't really use Yonex rackets.
I have found some rackets missed... they are: Cab 12 Cab 12S (only available in JP) Cab 14S (only available in JP) Cab 6 (same as Cab 8dx and only available in JP) AR 66 AR 65 Iso 700 (only available in JP) Iso 750MS Iso 500 (blue colour, same shape with Iso 300) Iso 450 Iso 300 Tour (same shape with Iso 800) Iso slim 10 Super ISO 7 (only available in JP) Super ISO 9 (only available in JP) Super ISO 10 (only available in JP) Super ISO 11 (only available in JP) BX801 (Should be in Cab series) BX802 (Should be in Cab series) BX906 (Should be in Cab series)
i haven't even hear of some of these racquet, though i do have the iso 300 tour lying around somewhere collecting dust.
I just have a quick watch and I think some rackets are still missed. On the other hand, I think B-8100 (Blacken), B-8200 (Blacken II) should be added since they are classics!!!
One more mistake... the first Widebody racket of Yonex should be Widebody30 and it should be appeared around 1990 (But the first Widebody badminton racket should be introduced by Pro-Kennex, model is Keron 1500). Iso 500 should be the first Iso racket.
We need to organize the Wiki properly... It is not in encyclopedic format at all. I can write up a short description for each series, and its significance. However, I think that the insignificant models should be removed since there is nothing special distinguishing it from brand B & C's racquets.
well, if you're going to have an encyclopedia of racquets on wikipedia, then you have to include as many of the models as possible.
its not an encyclopedia of racquets. the point of the wiki is to educate people. What does listing 1000000009409389048390823 racquets on a page have to do with educating, and no descriptions? If racquet ABC is the same as racquet BCA from X & Y manufacturer, and there is no significance to either, why include them when we can go to the local hardware store to pick up a $2 jobby? If we're going to use Wiki's services, we might as well post along according to their guidelines of educating people. What does this tell of the sport if we can't even get our info straight on equipment?
stay tuned guys. i am setting up BC's own wiki based knowledge base in which we have more freedom on what content can be included.
Oh, now that is awesome! Thanks for the news Kwan!!! edit: Wow sorry Dreamzz I just reread what I wrote, I'm moody today... neck pains kept me up all night, and its showing in my postings... I'll refrain from posting until I get some more rest, or a deep tissue massage or something lol Sorry mates.
haha, no worries mate, everyone's entitled to their opinion, i'm not one to take things personally ...
