    If yours is exactly the same as attachment, that's real. Cab 25 is an all-round racket.

    @All

    You guys make me wanna buy Cab 30MS or Cab 20... I will add them to my wish list then..
    Anyway, I have 1 Cab 8 SP, it is an old racket, my father bought it when i was still in elementary school, and i played with it during my final year at University. But now all of my current rackets are all ISO..

    I will try Cab 30MS & Cab 20, & perhaps restring my Cab 8 while buying 1 or two Carbonex rackets.

    WHere can I buy a carbonex 8

    Please help. I have been looking to replace my broken carbonex 8 for two years now. Trailing the Internet to try and find one. I currently use a set of nano speed 9900 but really want to go back to my old Sokol rackets even just for the nostalgic pleasure. Anyone know where I can get one or have one for sale

    Just started playing again after few years of hiatus. My cabs are...

    1. Cab 20 SP 3U + Microlegend@27lbs - feels headlight and i like it, fav string at the moment
    2. Cab 20 Ti Power + BG66@26lbs - String feel not nice as the ML.
    3. Cab 8000 Ti 3U - Unstrung. Maybe ML@27lbs

    Looking to add more cabs :D

    Hi All, I hope you don't mind me bringing up this old thread.
    ;)
    because I love vintage and classic racket,,, esp. Yonex Carbonex.
    I guess teenager nowadays are not really keen into trying Carbonex or oval racket hahaha.
    :p

    Last week I was very lucky finding this very classic Yonex Carbonex 20 orange (old logo) in local clearout sale.
    My dream would be finding the blue/lavender one,,, used by a lot of pro players in mid 90's to early 2000's. Hopefully someday I'll find it!
    :D

    Happy badminton! IMG_2502-2.jpg

    I have a CAB 30 Muscle 3UG4, it's the oldest racket I have in my collection.

    But just a couple hours ago, a guy was selling 3 brand new CAB 30 Muscles 3UG4 for only $60 a piece! It's a very reputable site, and the cherry on top was that all 3 were KP coded (Korea national team). Unfortunately, I was a couple hours too late and they were sold, otherwise I could have had one of the most sought-after collections on BC. Sigh...

    Wasn't cab 30 basically similar to mp99 back in the day? That's an even balance, 3u, very stiff racket. Yonex doesn't have much of those in the current lineup, but I guess something like duora 10, duora z strike, astrox 100zz may come close according to pure specs? I may need correction on this

    me, me, me, and me
    :D

    if you can find a good variant of Carbonex 20 in 90's era (esp. the old logo), I would definitely recommend you! But there are lots of Carbonex variant that you can try,,, but I think the most user friendly (and popular perhaps?) is the Cab 20: it's a well-balanced and a bit stiff racket,,, so kinda user-friendly... I've found that Carbonex produced in/after 2000's has different feel (not as solid as 1990's but that's my personal experience), and once I bought Cab20, the balance point is off-spec (very very head-heavy,,, could be an off-spec produced racket)

    Now I only use Carbonex 20 Tour Special (old yonex serial format, produced in 1999), and since found/bought and using it from 2021, I sold all my unused/previous rackets... I've also tried several current modern racket, but still can't beat the feel and power of my Cab20Trs.
    :)

    What I like the most is the combination of the feel and power, when you hit it in the sweet spot, it's the best feeling!
    :D

    You must give a try for Cabs absolutely!!! and let us know if you don't like or liking it!

    Wish I could refer to any Cabs of the 90s but only had Cab 8 sp with blue cone and T joint. Currently I own a Cab 20sp (3U), Cab 20 Ti Power and Cab 8000ti.

    I use the cab 20 sparringly with the 8000 Ti and in terms of feel I think the latter is nicer, for me at least. Perhaps your opinion on Cabs that made after 2000's is valid.

    The TI Power now is only for keep sake. It is very difficult to get used to. With my shoulder condition no way I'm going to use it again.

    I also tried other oval rackets like Pro Ace and Yang Yang. The similarity is in the feel, which none of the many iso head rackets I tried could replicate.
