Useful takeaways from this story.

Buyer is searching specifically for the first-generation Yonex Ti-10 (Ti10 Titanium Mesh) and will consider NOS or used in mint condition.

Required condition for used rackets: rated 10/10, no clashes, no cracks, no paint chips.

Related marketplace activity shows other Ti-10 generations and detailed seller listings (condition, shaft/cone codes) appear in the same forum.

A member of the BadmintonCentral buy-and-sell forum posted a clear, targeted request: they want a first-generation Yonex Ti-10 (Ti10 Titanium Mesh) for their personal collection. The post asks for either new old stock (NOS) or a used racket in mint condition.

The request appears in the Buy & Sell section where many members list collectible and current-production rackets. Related threads include selling posts for other Ti-10 generations and similar collectible rackets. Those related listings sometimes include technical details such as shaft and cone codes and seller condition grades, which buyers and collectors use to confirm authenticity and provenance.

  • Confirm generation and markings: first-generation Ti-10 is the requested model. If you list the racket, include any visible model labels, shaft codes, cone codes, or serials.
  • Provide detailed photos: show full frame, throat, shaft, handle, and close-ups of any cosmetic issues. The buyer requires no paint chips, no clashes, and no cracks, so photos must clearly show those areas.
  • State exact condition and history: whether the racket is NOS, lightly used, or has any prior repairs. If you tightened strings recently or replaced grips, disclose that.
  • Share shipping options and costs: the buyer said they can arrange international shipping, but clarify who pays, preferred carriers, tracking, and insurance.
  • Use private message for negotiation: the original request asks sellers to message the buyer directly on BadmintonCentral.

Similar threads in the same forum include collectible Ti-10 third-generation listings and other vintage/high-end rackets for sale. Those posts often present a price, condition grade, and technical identifiers. If you're selling, aligning your listing format to include condition grade, photos, and codes will help your listing be taken seriously by collectors.

Collectors typically prioritize authenticity and condition. The buyer's demands for mint condition and absence of physical damage reflect common collector standards. Sellers who can document provenance and provide high-resolution photos stand the best chance of completing a sale.

Message the buyer through the BadmintonCentral private messaging system with clear photos, condition details, and shipping terms. The buyer's post is intentionally concise and focused on acquisition, so respond with the concrete details requested.

Victor NCS (Pro/Max) Synthetic Shuttles

First of the major brands entered the competition for next gen. synthetic shuttles: So curious to see if they managed to come up with a significant improvement from the 1st gen. Carbonsonics. Update: Will be ordering two tubes from Racket-Company asap. Seems like they are having some sort of exclusive deal for Germany.
