Advice for an Oval Racquet Fan

If you are an oval fan, i wouldn't hesitate to go with the Yonex Carbonex 21. Tried and true and i have always liked that better than the cab 20.

Just my choice and opinion,
AF

 

Try Gosen. They are apparently very cheap in Malaysia and some of their better racquets still have an oval head. I use the 5300. Excellent racquet.

Sorry. I am not familiar with the other brands you mentioned.

 

go for cab21. it's a great racket.

 

I have no idea about anything current. This thread has some price info as does this one but neither name a store. PM the people posting the info, maybe? Only one online seller in Malaysia and they don't have it so that doesn't help. If you can still get it for RM299, what a steal!

 

Kikks,

Cab21 is an excellent racquet with high end performance but yet at a very very low price. The only set back is that it is quite heavy for doubles play. I would be willing to pay RM450 for a cab21 3u version. But unfortunately there is none yet.

If you're a male and play singles, then I would recommend this superb racquet

 

If already taking Yonex into consideration, Cab20 and Cab30ms should also take some attention.

 

Well, I've recently bought a 2UG4 Cab 21 SP, and the price is RM 225 I think the price of the Cab 21 is around there

BTW, I'm quite new here, but more of a forum lurker

 

yo bro...if u r in klang...try visit d stationery shop in tmn eng ann
i saw 1 yonex cab 20 tour special selling at RM150 with grip, bg 66 string and a racquet bag/yonex cab 21 special at rm 180 with with grip, bg 66 string and a racquet bag....try bargain with d bosz n u might get cheaper price out of it

 

Hi speedy,

Actually there is 3U Cab21 and if I remember correctly from reading this forum, it is available in some stores in Singapore. 3U Cab21 is very different compared to 2U Cab21. If you have a chance to find it, I strongly suggest you to buy it.

 

Hi LB,
I know you're a big fan of cab 30ms. As a matter of fact one of the reasons I bought the 30ms is partly from your recs. It is a great all rounder racquet. Very easy to manipulate due to its even balance. It has been my main racquet this few months. But I do think that cab21 perfoms better, especially in net plays and drop shots. And I think that it is too stiff for me. That's why I'm now trying the new low end Armortec series, that is Armortec 250. Although its low end, but it does have the "g force ti" and not just "super alloy" of the at300. Will give reviews about it after a week or two. Its taiwan made which accounts for the low price and number.

 

Hi blinan,
The same with you, I also came across somewhere that there's the 3u cab21. But I don't think it is available in Malaysia. The cab20 sp is worse still. There's even none the 2u version. Anyways thanks a lot for your info. I will ask the store to try to place order from Singapore instead of KL. Thanks again.

 

Hmm, if you want power, try a CAB30MS. Very good racket.

 

Everyone has his/her favorite choices for sure. I don't think cab21 was re-introduced in US until recently, and I never got a chance to demo it.

 

@Zero.. do u know name of the shop in klang u mentioned?? thanks..

 

you might wanna consider proace dms 99 or 328. both are widebody oval heads and very powerful 3U racquets, just nice, not too heavy. price around RM169. highly recommended!!! definately worth to check out!!!

 

the shop name...i forgoted...jz 2 use 2 d location....
its actually a stationary shop bside a coffee shop n opposite a cafe named " star pieces"...

other than tat u might try another shop inside 3k sport complex, subang ...they give 30% discount on every yonex racquet without string n grip...
