    I think, it will be very hard to find this racket, the last time i saw one, is one year ago, it was waiting for the owner to be picked up after restringing!

    Sheldon,

    I had this racket and it broke when I tried to string it at 22lbs for the first time.
    If I am not mistaken, it came from the same era of rackets as the Airblade 1000. Maybe that it why it is so fragile.
    I'm an AS1 convert now!

    well, never mind, it is 81g after all.....damn light and probably fragile. Anyways the YHK on eBay.co.uk is actually a 85G in a YHK casing......so i'm not getting that...

    hehe....i am a carlton convert now....selling my cab 20 and planning to buy carlton in the far east during the summer. klc28, if you have the spare time, could you write me a mini review on your carlton racquets, and how high you string them at...thanks
