<html>I always give advice to my friends for which rackets to buy. Now, its my turn. I narrowed my search down to Carbonex 21, 20 Special (Modus Graphite model), 20 Power(S$30 more expensive than the usual 20 model). But after another trip, i saw those Aerotus 110 (huge power!) and IS0 600 Power really made my doubt whether to continue buying carbonex models? I need a racket with high power and with a light feel for powerful backhands. Any suggestion within these price range of all those rackets suggested. Please help. thanks!

<html>I just bought an Aerotus 110 but I've been reading (in the product review section) that it has tended to fail at the head after a while. I will hopefully get to test my new racket out in a few days but seems like everybody loves it. I bought it because it felt pretty nice and had a discount too. So far, it feels slightly bottom heavy... the court tells all though.

By the way, I could be pretty biased :-) <br>Aerotus 110 is another good choice, though my friend broke his Aerotus pretty quickly..... I'd be wary of that.<br>

<html>Hmm, the Aerotus is bottom heavy? That means the shaft could snap if the downward force is too big. I still think Aerotus 110 is a great one and so are the other aerotus, even the 33! I seen a pro taking masking tape to tape up his racket in the joint part, maybe this helps?

<html>Yes, the news about all those broken aerotus is real, i seen it myself, i should be pretty safe as i only broken 2 before (Pro kennex sux :) ) You are right, i should choose those 21s,(although their paint job's not as cool). There are two, the Carbonex 21 SP with the BG 80 - S$99 (Graphite but looks newer) and the carbonex 21 special with a white stringing ( i think is BG-65 but with H.M. Graphite) that cost $89 (!!?). The problem now is that when i buy the more inferior version (SP) is can save up the string bucks but if i buy the special version, i have to buy up to $120 to cahnge to BG 80 or 85.<br>
