    Hey, I've been playing for almost 2 years now and I just wanted to have a backup racket for my CAB 21. Anyone here know any BRANDED names like SOTX, GOSEN, YONEX, or PRINCE that's under $110 USD? Please include a link. If you find one off ebay, I'll also have a look at it. Thanks!

    I second that. The 800 Offensive is superb for attacks especially for doubles.

    dunno about you guys. but If i would've bene playign baddy two years I couldn't possibly flex the at800off...not sure I can now....
    I think for a smashers racket andthign very head heavy, and reaosnably heavy coudl do....

    if you coudl try it out: I'd say yonex mp88 (not thát stiff, though head-heavy) or something heavier that isn't extra stiff but still head-heavy...

    Or I've totally misjudged you and you cán flex an at800off...then try out teh sotx woven 7...though I have NO experience wiht it...it seems like a canon from what I hear...

    However, coming from Gosen rackets myself, the switch is mind-blowing almost. I had to change everything in my swing and strokes. Also, with dropping, the racket needs to 'push' the birdy over, rather than it just 'dink' off the strings.

    he's no good for advice...he can smahs with everything:p

    real question is: what's you level/strength/wrist strength....the fact that he needs a head-heavy racket stands for itself, but wich flex is the real question...
