    Hi All,

    I am trying to choose between 2 rackets
    1. Iso800
    2. Cab21

    My level of play is intermediate. Prefer a racket that gives more control over power. Please limits to those 2 rackets only.

    a. Which one is more head-heavy?
    b. Which one is more stiff? :confused:

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

    isometric 653

    Hi all, I just picked up a YONEX ISMETRIC 653 at a recent sale, and for an beginner to intermediate player like myself, It does alright in the court, however, looking forward to any other feedback from anyone who has used this racquet.

    Thanks.

    Iso 800


    Hi, not really sure, the pro shop I go to has only the ISO 653 VF, and, ISO 665 LIGHT, besides the other latest models ( NANO etc )

    Maybe you can send a feedback to www.yonex.com, they will give you the e-mail address of the supplier nearest to your location so you can ask them.

    YONEX Ti - 2 TITANIUM MESH

    Hi, this model came out somewhere in 2000 - 2002, but strangely enough, just introduced in Malaysia ( as per the PRO SHOP guy to tells me ) I picked up one for my wife who has some wrist problems, and she says that the racket does not stress her wrist. Would welcome any feedback on this racket, thanks guys.

    It seems like badmintonalley often gives false racket specification, especially racket material used in head and shaft. For Cab21, the material used is High Modulus Graphite for both head and shaft.

    I never used Isometric 800, but I own and use Cab21 regularly. Cab21 is a good racket.
