    It seems that Sunrise has re-released the blue Carbonex 22 in Singapore. Found a Carbonex 22 at Queensway Shopping Centre, with the gold Sunrise hologram sticker. Good news for Cab lovers.

    PS. I wish Sunrise would consider to reinstate the Ti Swing Power and ISO900 series.

    rejoice!!

    it would be informative to find out the date code to verify that it is indeed a new production instead of new old stock.

    I want one too. After reading through some old threads, I am determine to get one to try out. Always enjoy trying rackets with different feels. ;)

    Was unable to verify the date code as the hologram sticker covered the date code...

    Its definitely not a fake. I found it in a reputable shop in Queensway Shopping Centre, Singapore - Chau Beng Sports. Perhaps those based in Singapore might go down and take a look.

    If I get your question correctly, I found the racket on Friday. The gold hologram sticker would be found in new 2006 batches of Yonex rackets. believe in 2005, the hologram stickers were silver in color.

    Sorry I could not recall the price.

    Terrific! I only hope Yonex hasn't watered it down as they did with the Ti-10...

    What is the S$ price we are looking at for a Cab 22?

    If it is a new production one, i might just pick it up for fun. But yeah, risk that it might be watered down like Ti-10.

    given that they are genuine, if you can find out the shaft serial number, we can infer the date code from there...

    Definitely. Wonder how they do the balance. A bit more head heavy than before would be incredible!! No more space in my cupboard for another one.:(
