hi, its only after i bought my carbonex 21 special that i realise got carbonex 21 and carbonex 21 sp i believe carbonex 21 special is not as good as the other 2 in fact i think the carbonex series r probably better
G'day, Look for Yonex Carbonex 21 under Product Section under badmintoncentral. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/badminton-central/newreviews/review.php?brand=yonex&model=carbonex21 Cab21 (the original with black and gold handle butt) is the best one. Cab21 SP means it is distributed from South Pacific region. Cab21 Special, I have been told (could be a rumour though) is a Taiwanese made variant.....It has different paint finish and fine printing to other Cab21s and it is heavier.
Hmm, just wanna clarify something ... although I dunno what is the diff between all the version ... I know that Carbonex 20 Special and Carbonex 21 Special are both made in Japan too!! I have the cab 20 and my friend has the cab 21 and both shows "made in japan" on the shaft. Price of it is S$69.90 and $79.90 respectively. Probably cheaper then the originals because the originals are nowadays harder to find ... sound logical?
