I think the best cab is Cab30ms for me. Cab20ms come in 2nd. I thought you can still get several other cab model in many online store in US and they are US coded.
I've owned three carbonex , Carbonex 21 Special , Carbonex 21Sp , and now recently Carbonex 30MS , of all i've tried , Carbonex 30MS no doubt is the best . It has got a longer frame , but effective , not disturbing . How to describe the power ? It's like if used 100% power for smashing with 21Sp , u used only 70% on 30MS to get the same power down . And also baseline wise , u used lesser power hitting into the baseline than 21Sp . Hope this tips helps . Good luck .
Cab 9 of course! OK, I haven't tried the Cab 22... ...that's why there are so many rackets, I tried the Cab 30 three times, even bought one. It's way to flexy, numb and lacking in power for me. Everyone's different.
there's a reason why the cab 20 is still being sold despite the number of years since its release. there's a reason why it's a legendary racquet. there is however, no justifiable reason why i still haven't owned one!
I believe cab30ms and cab21 are the only two "officially distributed" in US market. There are models like cab20ms being labled as "dis-continued", but still can be found in some store's old stock.
I've also owned a Carbonex 8 , my 1st carbonex , and used almost 20 years ! Awesome until i can afford a better Carbonex . Never thought of buying other Carbonex until i play badminton frequently . Also Carbonex 9 ( Gold ) , good racket , just that someone offered me a price i can't resist to sell . Now i am using Carbonex 30 MS , never looked back since . Now i know why Carbonex can be rate The Best Carbonex .
To me the Cab30 is definitely a bit too flexy. "Soft" is more the word I would use. Nice racket, great looks and nice swing. It's near perfect until I make contact with the shuttle. Then a lot is left to be desired.
