    I own carb21 2u and it was an excellent racket back in 90s. I believe the price of carb21 is still NOT so cheap if compared to hi-end model of other brands. Aside from that, carb21 can only hold lower tension string (19-21lbs i believe). If it were for collection purposes, then yes... it worths buying. You might wanna consider yonex Ti10, it is old yet still very popular nowadays. Also, price has dropped significantly, and received a lot of good reviews from users.

    Dear Thanks for reply

    I am going to order 3U/5G
    Please see attached for spec

    I showed string tension G4,5(17-22lbs)

    Since Carbonex 21 is Made in Japan, I decided to buy
    Earlier I decided to buy Nanoray 70DX and as per my attached sheet is showing it is made in Taiwan so I changed the idea


    Please more advice

    You mean Carbonex 21 only for collection. what are key factors that we should consider over Carbonex 21. What are the new racquets technologies over Carbonex 21

    Personnaly i am using Cab21sp and find is very whippy and powerful due the slight head heavy.
    Not issue strung at higher tension at 24 or 25 " but this racket suits thin strings rather than thick string. I decided to go for bg66 instead.

    Feedback is gd. Feel is gd.. smashing is gd.. clearing also gd.. durable no question abt it.
    Collection? Thats the old 90s model perhaps

    If i am not wrong, yonex still using Carbonex 20 as the default design for any newer models design as is a standard type of racket.
