two strung with bg85 @ 23lbs. one strung with bg66 @ 21lbs - just like the good old days when i was in secondary school.
yeah. when i went back last time 1.5yrs ago, cab22 were still being sold. and no one paid any attention. now they are all out everywhere. looks like all cabs are slowly getting faded out. i wonder after WongCH and XiaXZ retires, will Yonex continue making these gems?
lol truly a cab fanatic I am going to HK in November for a few weeks. I dont know if I should wait to buy a few more cab 20's I cant remember how cab21 played i'd better read some reviews. Did Mr Keen have contact info on this website? It's been so long I cant really remember I hope he has some Cab20 Long available too
i doubt they'll have cab20 long. they do have cab20, i got 4 from them last month, all but one are going into long term storage... waiting for 20yrs later when cab20 will be worth US$2000 each. cab21 is nice. still trying to get used to it. feels a tiny bit more stable than the cab20. but at the same time, the shaft seems softer and sometimes i feel like i am overpowering a bit... Mr. Keen's contact info is in the FAQ.
It is a good news for Mister Keen selling overseas. He is a major distributor in Hong Kong, other than dead stock, he should has all Yonex rackets avaliable in Hong Kong with a very good price. Overseas buyer can also save up time and money. But, he also do not have any Cab 20 power or Cab 22............... I have seem a brand new Cab 20 long in Tuen Mum (very western part in Hong Kong), but the price is unreasonable high. When I visit Tuen Mum again, I would try to find this racket is stall avaliable or not.
yes. Mr. Keen's service including packaging and promptness was quite good. all my transactions are done via email in English. what i don't know is if he can process credit card, i normally ask my parents to send them a HK$ check for payment. if Mr. Keen have credit card or Paypal processing, that will be quite convenient for overseas buyers.
For cab lovers, please note there is no shortage of any of the following cab racquets in Hong Kong : Cab 20 Long HK$450; Cab 20 Power $400; Cab 20 $450; Cab 20S $400; Cab 20 Muscle $700; Cab 20Ti Power $500; Cab 20 Tour $500. Cab 21 $500; Cab 21S $400. Cab 22 $500 Cab 23 $550 Cab 25 $400 Cab 30 Muscle $700 I never knew there were that many cab models and that they so beloved by so many. The only cab models I ever bought were Cab 9, Cab 15, Cab 20, and Cab 21, and I gave them all away last year! I checked the above prices with Inskysport and some shops around Mongkok and Jordan. If you are serious about buying in large quantities as an investment, you could knock down the prices even more, or you could contact Sunrise in Singapore for a batch order.
Sunrise is Yonex's distributor in 8 Asian countries and they do not sell outside these countries. All Yonex racquets with SP marked on the shaft are under the Sunrise franchise. If you want to order a batch order of a substantial quantity it must be delivered to one of these 8 countries. I don't know which countries are included in the 8 countries. But, I do know Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, India, Indonesia are within Sunrise's juridiction. If still interested, you can email chia2@risesun.com.sg or call Chia at 65-62583377, but only if you are contacting him for business within his jurisdiction. If you are in Canada and want to place a large order, you should contact Yonex Canada and not Sunrise.
Hello Taneetak, May I know where you can still find the Cab 20 Power at only HK$400 ? Please state the shop name and address here, if possible. Many thanks.
I wouldn't have given them away if I knew they were so sought after. BTW the fellow who got the free Cab 21 from me was very pleased with how good the racquet was, but the idiot then went to break it in a clash in a subsequent match.
The shop's name is Inskysport and they are located at 1104, Ho King Comm. Ctr., 2-16 Fa Yuen Street, Mongkok. It is better to call the owner, Tom or 'Ah Tung' at 81010506, before going to the shop. You will find all sorts of people there, mainly players and coaches, including a frequent business visitor Mr Ng of Luxis there. The good thing about this shop is that he will match and even lower your best prices you can get anywhere in Hong Kong. He also sells his own brand of racquets and shuttlecocks. It is best to stick to Yonex racquets. Also they don't sell fakes, which is reassuring.
Thank you all so very much for your updates, it is very much appreciated. It is good for a cab lover like myself, to know that the older models are still available, as there is not much selection in North America any longer But once again, also thank you to Mr Keen for being such an excellent provider of equipment to the badminton community not only in Hong Kong but in North America as well.
