    I hope its okay to post here.

    I noticed on tv that Chan Chong Ming of Malaysia was using a Yonex Carbonex racket during the MD final of the 2005 Denmark Open. Does anyone know which model is this? It looked like a Cab21 to me.

    Are there any other professional players still using the Carbonex series?

    Cheers,

    There are tons of pros use Carbonex rackets and most likely, they grew up with Carbonex rackets. However, once getting into those international games with cameras, they will have to use the newer models that Yonex is advertising.

    According to yonex int'l website, Chan Chong Ming (MAS) uses Cab21, Korean pair of Lee Dong Soo/Yoo Yong Sung both uses Cab21 too. Shon Seung Mo (KOR) uses Cab30ms.

    Lee Jae Jung(???) and Shon Seung Mo of Korea use the Cab30MS. I think Wong Chong Hann might still be using his Cab21.
