Currently having these rackets in my racket bag: Carb 20, Carb 20 Power, 2 x Gosen Roots 1500 Ti. Spare rackets: Isometric 200 Power, Proace DMS 99, Hart Maestro Slim Lent out: Prince Whiplite 700, Carb 8 Cracked rackets: Isometric Tour 800, Carb 25, Carb 20
RE: breadth or depth. Cheung, ok. "extremely" is a bit strong... but "quite" head light. you do agree with "quite", right? i remember you had to tape up the top of the racket coz you think it was too light...
RE: breadth or depth. Isn't the Cab 22 a relatively light and head light racquet in Yonex family ? I got this feeling when I compare it with all the other Yonex racquets I've (all of them are 3U). As far as I remember, Cab 22 is your favorite, but I found that it doesn't suit me very well (I always prefer racquets with Isometric head shape).
I am on my THIRD Ti-10 the other two cracked and i got them replaced. I have a Isometric Ti Swing Power SX.....you must try this racket before you buy it. Isometric 900 SX Carbonex- 22-cracked Carbonex- 23 Isometric-750 Muscle Iso. 600- cracked Aerotus-77 Ti-7 another one of those rackets you should try before you buy. I tend to use my Ti-10 and Carbonex-23 on a regular base. The others one i just use whenever i feel like it.
MP-100 x 2 ISO TI Swing Power SR x 1 CAB 20 Tour x 1 ISO 800 x broken Trying hard to make the transition from CAB 20 to MP-100.

Wow, How many racquets, that is a hard question to answer. I will go in chronological order I guess. Black Knight Lance - storage Carlton 950 - warped head Yonex Cab 21 - broke Yonex Widebody 30 - sold for $90 and subsequently broke on first day after sale Yonex Cab 20 + $50 - traded for YY bag, Cab 15, Pro Kennex 808 Yonex Cab 15 - lent out, never got it back Pro Kennex 808 + YY bag - sold for $75 Yonex Cab 21 - gave away, retired for one year Yonex Cab 21 - sold for $50 Yonex Cab 8 original - sold for $30 Yonex Iso 500 original - lent out, never got it back Pro Kennex Isodynamic 28 (2) - 1 broke, other sold but not paid yet Yonex Iso 100 - sold for $95 and subsequently bit the dust after selling Sider 100 (2) - sold both for $50 each, 1 yet to be paid for HiQua Slim 10 (4) - currently using, 2 strung up for play, 1 broke due to anger and 1 unstrung Yonex Cab 8TI - new and have yet to try it out really Brett wrote: > > It seems like quite a number of people in this forum have > more than just one or two racquets.

How about the HiQua Slim 10? Obviously you liked since you use it, but would you recommend it? Are they durable?
i was given a Pro-Kennex 787 quite a while ago now. It seems very similar to the old Yonex Carbonex 21.
Of course I recommend the racquet. Durable, well it is as durable as any racquet, if you hit the floor or clash with another racquet in the right spot, no matter what, it will break. HiQua racquets are very good and I have only broken one, I snapped it in half in the shaft by flexing it when I lost. Oh well, I still have 3 left. I haven't broken one on a shank/hack/shot during play yet. Mag wrote: > > How about the HiQua Slim 10? Obviously you liked since > you use it, but would you recommend it? Are they > durable?
I had my Car-22 at about 23 TENNIS lbs. The stringer i bring it to string up my badimton rackets use his tennis machine to string it up and at 23 lbs which he really would never do on anyone's else racket. I showed one other stringer my Ti-Swing Power which i got it done at 21 lbs., he thought it was about 28 lbs. But since i had my cab.22 done at 23 lbs. it was SUPER TIGHT, and one bad shot with the birdie and it was GONE.
I have the following, more than some, way less than some of you who should start museums! ;-) Winex T-20 Winex Ti-12 (current favourite) Winex Kevlar 999 Yonex SP900sr Yonex ISO 800 tour (my previous favourite - best Yonex ever made!) Pro Kennex VarioFlex 26 Browning Interceptor (was my first racket) I notice that not many of you are Winex owners. Where are you all? Mark
Here is the list: -3 yonex isometric tour 800 sp -1 yonex boron 200 -1carbonex 10 -1 hart legend 5500 My fav is the iso 800, it is such a cool racket. Never used the others. String each one with bg 65 ti.
CAB 10? Is this the original 2 piece one? Like the original cab 8 with the aluminum head/graphite shaft but the 10 was a graphite head/graphite shaft.

Q-Man, I am considering purchasing a number of the racquets that you own - could you provide me with some advice and details on them? I am looking for a stiff, powerful, head heavy racquet that excels at smashing, yet has some touch and quickness on defense. I am an intermediate player who mostly plays with nylon birds, and I am used to oval, rather than iso, racquet heads. I am used to a 2U racquet with even more weight on the head (I put some tape on the head to make it more head-heavy), so I probably could play with almost any recent model racquet without finding it too heavy. My upper price range is about US$120, so the Ti-10 or MP-100 are out of my league. What is the difference between the Ti-7 and Iso 750? They appear on paper to be basically the same head-heavy, offensive oriented, Muscle Power, titanium reinforced racquet - do you prefer one over the other, and why? I like the idea of the Cab 23 - a traditional shaped racquet with a lot more power than my Cab 8300, which I presume would not require me to spend too much time to become acclimated. The rather sparse comments on the Cab 23 seem to state that it is a good racquet, similar to the Cab 22 but more head heavy and powerful, but weaker for smashing compared to the offense-oriented Iso models. How do you like it and how do you feel it compares to the Iso models you own or have tried? I am also considering the Iso 600, which I can obtain fairly cheaply (about US$90 out the door including shipping and restringing with BG-70) - how does it compare to the above racquets? It seems that Kwun and several others swear by theirs. I really hope that you can respond to these questions, with as much detail as possible. It seems from the various comments and reviews in the BC website that you are about the only person who has tried the Iso 750 thus far, so your comments are appreciated. Thanks Brett
