Hall of Fame

Nice frames in good condition. I think Wendy Turnbull used to play with the Carbonex in the late 70s or early 80s.  

I have a green Carbonex 8. Not in a good shape though. The weight is just around 385 grams.

I'm watching the green CAB 8! I suspect the several days left in the auction will be long enough for the temptation to build up enough to overcome the shipping price from Oz to the States. Rock: The green dream of my long-lost youth was in the U.S., where I'm from. (I just lived/worked in Thailand for about 6 years in the 00's.) One of the adults who played in my home town had one. I never knew there were black & white ones until a couple of years ago when it occurred to me to look for one on auction. Maybe they were the Euro version? MAXX: This is from a 6-yr-old memory of an afternoon in the Bangkok heat, but here goes... You know where the big multi-floor FBT store is? (It's the only good sports store I know of in BKK, and it's really good.) Walk out from the entrance (which is on a corner), turn left without crossing the street, and take off down the sidewalk. There will be a large sports facility on your left, so large it takes a while to walk past it. Once you finally do, turn immediately into the first little alley-like street on the left, and you'll walk past a bunch of Mom & Pop sports shops on your right. These mostly have soccer stuff, but at least one had a few new-ancient stock racquets that no one is likely to buy when they can go to Central and get something modern. The prices weren't great; I paid 1700 baht for that CAB 7. (I was new to the racquet collection racket and didn't know better, and I was excited to see any Yonex from the 70's. I did know that it would lose value if I strung it up to hit with it, but I was weak and did it anyway.) In retrospect, I should have haggled some. It still had the tag/catalog booklet on it, by the way, with all the Yonex frames of that time and a picture of a young, dark-haired Martina Navratilova with her wood Yonex. Also, amusingly, the cover has the misspelling "Carbnex 7" on both sides. I guess someone must have lost some face over that. Anyway, if you're in BKK and decide to go looking, let me know. I'll fire up Google Earth and check my memory of where I found the place.

Anyone dropping by BKK anytime please let me know in advance. I may be able to drive you around town.

Funny this racquet has come up as a topic of discussion. We just received one from our customer wanting to restring it. It is like a club in comparison to modern racquets!

At times, it happens that when you hit a cock with full force, the strings of the racket get deformed or sometimes they get broken. But with Carbonex 8000 plus, the case is a bit different as it possesses an elastic Ti that resists deformation and keeps the strings tight and perfectly tied.

Apart from the minor shortcomings, Carbonex 8000 plus marks to be the best Yonex badminton racket as it offers a lot of beneficial features at a very affordable price.

• Our History

The One Motor

In 1946, just after the end of World War II, Yonex marked its beginnings as Yoneyama Company, Ltd. founded by Minoru Yoneyama, a producer of wooden floats for fishing nets. Yoneyama’s wood-crafting business thrived until modern advancements - namely plastic floats - forced the company out of the business. Frustrated by being pushed aside by advancing technology, he vowed to never be technologically left behind and committed to constant innovation in future endeavors.

Crafting Wooden Racquets

Relying on strengths in wood crafting, the Yoneyama Company evolved into manufacturing badminton racquets in 1957 as an OEM for the Sanbata racquet brand. Today, Yonex manufactures its own tennis racquets, golf clubs, snowboards, road bikes, tennis and badminton string, and more. Throughout the years, Yonex has learned that “the toughest situations create the greatest chances” - and this spirit carries through in its mission to enrich the world with sports through high quality products.

The First Yoneyama Racquet

With Sanbata’s bankruptcy in 1961 and Yoneyama’s Manufacturing Headquarters burning down in 1963, the 1960s truly tested the spirit of creating chances within tough situations. Despite these set-backs, Yoneyama established Yoneyama Sports Co., Ltd. to manufacture Yoneyama-branded racquets, rebuilt the factory in three days, and expanded its business to the United States and Europe during this pivotal decade. In 1965, the Tokyo Factory opened its doors to manufacture shuttlecocks -- now, Yonex is the official tournament shuttle of all Badminton World Federation (BWF) Major Events, as well as the Olympic Games since 1992 in Barcelona. In 1968, Yonex developed the world’s first “T-Joint,” which led to Japan’s first aluminum badminton racquet. The “T-Joint” was inspired by a gas tap design that connected the frame and shaft. In 1969, Yonex expanded into the tennis industry with the aluminum T-7000 racquet.

Pushing Structural Limits

To improve upon the widely popular T-7000, Yonex developed the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS), which created a stronger, more stable racquet and was implemented in the T-7500. In 1973, the “YY Yoneyama” logo is introduced and eight-time (seven consecutive) All England Open Badminton Champion and badminton icon Rudy Hartono began competing with Yonex. The following year, Yonex began manufacturing wooden tennis racquets and signed Tony Roche, the fourteen-time major champion from Australia. In 1978, the first badminton racquets weighing under 100g launched as B-8500 and CARBONEX 8.

ISOMETRIC™ Racquets to Longest Drives

Yonex’s iconic square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet was first introduced in 1980 with the launch of the R-1, R-2, and R-3. The same year, Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova began competing with Yonex. The company was renamed to Yonex Co., Ltd. Utilizing Yonex’s graphite technology, the company entered the golf business. In 1983, Navratilova won the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open in both singles and doubles with the best-selling R-22 racquet. In 1984, Yonex becomes the title sponsor of the sport’s oldest and most prestigious tournament, the All England Open Badminton Championships. In 1989, Yonex introduced the ADX 200 in the United States, the widebody graphite driver that changed the game of golf. The ADX 200 was recorded in the Guinness World Records with the longest drive at 412 yards.

A Series of World No.1s

In 1990, Navratilova claimed her 9th Wimbledon title with the widebody RQ-180 and in 1991, Monica Seles became the youngest female player to achieve a World No.1 Ranking. Borrowing from Yonex’s own signature square-shaped tennis racquet frame, the first ISOMETRIC™ badminton racquet in history launched in 1992. In 1995, to further push the limits of graphite innovation, Yonex began manufacturing snowboards. In 1996, Martina Hingis gained prominence as the youngest major champion in history at 15 years old and continued on with a legendary career with Yonex gear. In 1998, Yonex revamped its logo to the current YY Yonex logo. In 1999, Yonex begins hosting the YONEX Ladies Open, a LPGA Japan Tour event (Ladies Professional Golfers' Association of Japan) at the Yonex Country Club.

Breaking Records

In the early 2000s, Lleyton Hewitt became the youngest male World No.1 in history and claimed two major singles titles to his name: Wimbledon and US Open. In 2007, Ryo Aono becomes the first Japanese snowboarder to win a gold medal at the Snowboard World Cup in Halfpipe. Throughout his career, he goes on to win 12 World Cup titles and competes in two Olympic Games. In 2009, Yonex became the longest title sponsor of the All England Open Badminton Championships.

Enriching the World Through Sports

Originating in Japan and expanding globally, the Yonex Vamos•J tennis camps begin developing high-performance juniors in 2011. Through unique programs and life experiences, Vamos•J aims to promote tennis and develop young players worldwide. Spearheaded by badminton’s greatest players, The Legends’ Vision initiative launches in 2015 to raise the profile of the sport and to inspire the next generation of badminton players. Led by Taufik Hidayat, Peter Gade, Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, and Lee Yong Dae, these Legends tour the world to increase badminton awareness and participation. Yonex enters two new businesses, sport bikes and wind turbine blades in Japan, further expanding on its carbon graphite technology. At the 2016 Australian Open, Yonex becomes the first Japanese brand to provide stringing services for a major tennis tournament through the Yonex Stringing Team. Today, with the trust of the world’s top athletes - former and current World No.1s - Yonex continues to combine timeless Japanese craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to give players the tools to succeed.

Yonex Carbonex 8DX SP, B-8600

Discussion in ' Badminton Rackets / Equipment ' started by aramistuscany , Nov 30, 2009 .

aramistuscany Regular Member

This racquet is 30 or nearly 30 years old thereabouts. First time I have seen a Cab DX series in the flesh.. or in the graphite so to speak . The usual very old Cab 8s I have seen are the B-8500 so I wasn't even aware of the B-8600. This is in 2UG3. Not mine.. belongs to my cousin and not for sale

weeyeh Regular Member

I'm looking to collect a B-8500 green. I saw it the other day but the owner left before I could approach him (he's a kid though). I knew about the DX and always thought it was a B8500. Thanks for the information and photos. It's a classic!!!  

issarakaya Regular Member

My fav racket when i was in school Always choose it to play even i have Carb 8 SP and Carb 15. Very nice collection @aramis, hope @bengguan not see this thread wkwkwkwkwkwkwwkwk  

maxp74 Regular Member

The original cab 8 came about 30 years ago. The cab 8dx came a little bit later. My guess is around 1988. More like 20 years ago then. But i'm not absolutely sure so I leave that to the experts. I did own two cab 8dx in the early 90:s. One burgundy and one blue. There was also a yellow version and later a grey with purple text on the shaft. Boy do I miss them all.  

what about cab 8000 ??  

winson23 New Member

hi tis how many gram , how long , is tis can tie 25 pounds  

Cheung Moderator

25 is probably the maximum I would try for this racquet. Be careful though. Metal frame racquets bend easier.  

kwun Administrator

i have one too! and i vividly remember the reason why i bought it. within the span of one year, i broke 3x cab21 and 1x cab12. i broke one cab21 each term in school, and then immediately after i got the cab12 as a replacement, that broke on the first week. i got so mad i went and bought the cab8dx vowing to never break a racket again. i still have the cab8dx with me. after 20 long years. wow. it has been 20 years. time flies.  

cheung thanks
