hi guys,

just wanted to ask if anybody has information on balance point of Cab21SP and Cab30ms...and how i can change it to take advantage of the racket's strengths...i did a search but can't seem to find any info (or i didn't search hard enough:p)...i'm rather new to racket "modding" so please any info would be greatly appreciated...thanks a lot!:D

Hmmm...i myself was also quite interested in this issue a few mths ago when i bought my cab30ms, hence did a search n i tink i did also post a topic before on its balancing pt..ok...for Cab30ms, i did a search at bbeshop n bbesports or some other sites... there states 289mm(+/- 2mm) or 292mm (+/- 3mm). Based on my own measurements, with string+original grip only is 300mm-303mm. With string+1 layer of supergrap over original grip is 295mm-296mm. The bigger the number (balancing pt) the more head-heavy a racket is, hence i supposed wat u mean by modding is changing the balancing pt, hence either u decrease or increase weight at the handle....taking off original grip (heavy), using a thinner overgrip, change from using towel grip (heavier) to overgrip (lighter) etc etc. I dun recommend using lead weight strips on the frames to increase head heaviness as i scared it might jeopardise the shaft. Dats all. :D I dun have Cab21...so i dun know their specs. :p

hi slacker,

thanks for your reply! the reason i asked is i've been interchanging between the two rackets and still don't know which one to use...sigh:confused: they have totally different characteristics that i like and distinct shortcomings...will try and remove my grip on the Cab21SP and try something thinner and lighter...my Cab30 seems to be ok for the moment...cheers!:D
