    Thats good to hear. I recently found my Cab 9 when i was shifting my hse. Tried it last week and i strung it at 20lbs. Its still good. Heavy though. But its still good enough to win games.

    I heard it can take 30lbs, which is incredible for a metal frame. High tensions requested by Park Joo Bong. I still got mine:)

    Other than Cab 9 gold, there was also Cab 9 silver. It's production quantity was far less than Cab 9 gold.

    I think I saw a Cab-9 today.
    It was from a beginner of badminton, he told me that his old brother gave him this.

    Maybe if I can give him $20 and buy it over ;) :D

    No problem! It can take 30lbs, I'd tried in my old cab9.

    i'd heard that Ricky even strung it to 32lbs.

    btw, which version of your gold cab9, is it the old word painting(the oldest) or the newer word painting(like the italian in MS word) on the shaft?

    Yes!!

    If you look at the model number on the shaft, the older verison is golden hot stamping and the latest verison is just by white silkscreen printing.
