    In US, i believe i can only get hold of cab21 and cab30ms. Between these 2, cab30ms for sure. ;)

    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! :p

    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. :)

    Cab8600Light if you factor in price :).
    I still think the Cab8600LT is the best racquet under $80US

    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! :rolleyes: :confused:

    Of course but I was just clarifying the AT700 is king. Better than any Cab, at least for me. :)

    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. :p
