    I was looking around for a good badminton raquet for a while now, and have basically narrowed it down to these two. I hear many good things about them, and now that I found a place that has them, I don't know which one to pick. The website I found is http://gutermanintl.com/datalist.php?Product_category=Badminton&Product_type=&Manufacturer=Yonex&Status=&order=0&FormsButton3=List+items
    Their Cab21 is 2U, and the Cab30 MS is 3U. Other then that they are both pretty much the same. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas...

    P.S. I was also wondering if the raquets im looking for on this site are real and not fake...

    based on ebayId i believe this is the same individual. He has the Cab30MS on auction. I didn't find his name on BlueJeff's fake yonex seller list, but the picture of the item in the link doesn't match that of the CAB30MS. I emailed them my concerns about the picture but have not yet received a reply. The price and shipping seems to be a very good deal...but i'm not too sure if it's worth the risk...

    what's better, AT500 or Cab31 MS?

    If money were no problem, (even tho they pretty much the same price), would you rather go with a 4U AT500 or a 3U Cab31 MS. Which one is better overall and most durable?

    If money were no problem, (even tho they pretty much the same price), would you rather go with an apple or an orange. Which one is better overall and most tasty?

    On a more serious note, what Jeff said.

    ok my bad, i meant cab30MS. and onimenokyo its not like an apple and an orange they are both raquets. maybe if i was talking what is better, a badminton raquet or a tennis raquet for hitting squash balls, then maybe you could say apples and oranges, and even then im sure one has a higher tendancy to hit the balls with a higher velocity.
    I am just curious, from a professional standpoint which of the two raquets would people most prefer. they both have their specific characteristics but they are both badminton raquets. i am just wondering, if you could have one, what would it be.

    I would take the cab30 cuz i haven't tried out the at500 yet =P.......... on a more serious note, you should take a look at the equipment reviews on the site and see what people have said about the two rackets.

    If we extend that analogy further, then I would say that they're both fruits (not vegetables), much like they're both badminton racquets (not other racquets). But although they are both fruits, they have different properties. Which one is better? That's highly subjective. You have to try them to see which you like. There is no superior ultimate racquet which will send the bird flying at 35098237 mph. And depending on who you ask, they'll give you a different answer. So that's the long answer to which racquet is "better".

    Which one would I use? Probably Carbonex 30. Just a personal choice. I don't like AT500 :) (again, personal)

    thanks it helps onimenokyo, and thx k3vin too, and to tell i i have been on those two review pages all day, and the reviews make both of the raquets look so appealing. after a lot of research the raquets kind of balance out, and at this point, personal opinions arent bad.
