<html>I have been using the longer racket for some time now and is really use to it. But the other day I broke my string and have to use a friend's racket (standard length). I find that i can play better at the net with shorter rackets and better smashes with longer racket. Is that normal??? </html>

The long rackets seem to be slower for reaction shots i.e net kills, defense e.t.c. I used long rackets for the last two seasons but have recently got a cab-21 again and overall its much better than Ti-10 or the 900. The extra length can give a bit more power in the smash but I don't think it's worth it. Also the cab 21's superb balance and slim shaft means it can really kick out a powerful smash. Just think the cab 21 must be 12-13 years old and it still rules ! <br> </html>
