    It's possible that I got the last CAB22 in HK:crying:. A friend went back to HK last month to source for one, he looked pretty hard for it and finally found one for sale at Mr. Keen's(another one he found wasn't for sale). This is just great! I got one and I couldn't even use it for fear of breaking it. Guess I really have to train hard just to be worthy of playing it:(. This one will be staying at home unstrung until I am ready for it.

    according to Mr. Keen, they found their stock of cab22 in some warehouse in Malaysia, so they snatched them up. Yonex isn't manufacturing them anymore so yes this may be the very last cab22 aside from the one-off stock in some tiny badminton shop somewhere. treasure it...

    unless it is a MAJOR clash or againist a metal framed racket, i doubt u would break it under normal use. however, once strung, it is no longer new :p

    There are a few racquet T-Boners at VRC you see. It doesn't matter if you get a steel racquet, they will break it :D !

    Well, if that's the case, then the racquet is certainly new cuz it's unstrung:D.

    where is my blue marker? I'll mark them as "not for sale" :D

    Thought about my history with Cab22 (Cab-20P) today, I think there had been around a dozen of them in my hands before, but they come and go. Right now, I still have 6 of them and I think it's good enough for my life use :)

    I broke a Cab 20 Power SP at the beginning of 2005. Without any crashed, but broke naturally at 7 to 8 o'clock position after pro-longed used. May be due to the tension problem, I strung it at 26*28 with bg85 at that moment.

    my statement excludes ...err.. poor stringing.
    I posted before that i had run double strings at 44 lbs (ie, 2x22lbs) for some cross strings and racket holds.
