Ever since 1946, Yonex has helped to shape and build so many badminton dreams among players. Every racquet Yonex developed made the ‘smash’ faster, ‘dropshot’ sharper, and ‘net shot’ smoother.
I always felt Yonex and their design team as the best weaponsmith for me. Year by year since 1995, continuously developing the best ‘sword’ for me to battle in court.
Still remember back in 1995, I was just a young boy aged 13, masih jambu, masih mentah, masih kiut. I was lucky to qualify for my first MSSPP. My dad bought me a good racquet for that tournament. But I just felt dad's racquet was better. His racquet was Yonex Carbonex9, colour Gold. I curi-curi “pinjam” his racquet to enter the competition, without him knowing.
I was feeling like "White Ranger" playing with dad’s Gold Yonex, until the string broke. That night when I got home, I diam-diam slit the racket back into his bag.
The next day I heard a thunderous shout 'Ah Wei!What have you done?' I became so kancheong that I nearly wet my pants. I slowly walked into his room, with my head down. He was boiling. Imagine an angry skinny incredible Hulk, swinging a racquet with broken string. Before the Hulk smashed my head, I lifted the tournament medal I won with my tiny hands. His anger turned into a smile. That evening, he restring the racquet and slid the racquet quietly into my bag.
That's my first sword. My Gold Yonex Carbonex9.

一支球拍的故事
13岁那年，在获得了MSSPP入选资格后，父亲大悦，给我买了一支羽毛球拍参赛，虽然手握新球拍，但是我却心系父亲常用的那支旧球拍，觉得那才是我的幸运🏸。
不知道哪里来的勇气，我竟然就偷偷的＂借用＂了父亲的球拍上场，幸运球拍给了我无限的可能，杀球、小球一切就是那顺利过网，关键分我在奋力厮杀，结果，线～断～了。
回到家后，我颤抖的把球拍放回原位，鸵鸟心态希望不被发现，结果第二天早晨我被父亲的咆哮声惊醒了，唉，只好硬着头皮往他面前走去，准备把责任推给老鼠之前，我先把奖牌递上去，结果父亲就不再生气了，呼，好险！
当天下午，父亲出门去了，回来之后他就把绑好线的球拍偷偷的塞进了我的包，就这样，我拥有梦寐以求的幸运的金色Yonex Carbonex9羽毛球拍，这也是我的第一支Yonex羽毛球拍。
这是的故事，你的呢？
