    Yeah, that's right, i think carlton's are better. Cheaper, produce more power, and are a ton more aerodynamic. carlton is the specialist at speed. Compared to yonex raquets, carlton is superior in my mind. I Have a Sig. Ti , and have used a AB1000 in the past, they are both awesome raquets. I squeeze out a ton more power with my Sig. Ti then my TI SP SR or my MP77. Not only does it cut air like butter, it's produces just more than powerful smashes, it give powerful shots of all types, cept my backahnd whihc im workin on. The only downside is that it has alot less control since i tend to have more control with ISo's, or i'm just not completely use to my raquet you. ok bye

    its purely a subjective thing. Some people prefer different designs more than others.

    I am very surprised to hear that An 81gm racket is more powerful than the yonex range of titanium rackets when it comes to smashes.

    If he had said something like AB 2000 or Rasmusssen or AS1 or Ab 900 i would say subjective.

    But u cant hit powerful smashes with defencive rackets.

    That is why defensive rackets are Way lighter than the Offensive rackets.

    That is why there are 4 different things in Iso 900.The only racket that is decent in smashes and weighs 81Gms but performs like an offensive racket is the Fischer Wepon Ti.

    But then that too is subjective.

    Has anybody else posted their review abt Sig ti

    For myself, it is not big difference on the control, power, and preformance between Carlton and Yonex, expect Carltons don't have the ISO head and extra long shaft (too bad, make them look like my dad's genation racakets.) The price...both are almost same in US.
    If I get the new one, Carlton won't be considered because I like the ISO better.

    I've used many racquets (over 30). One thing I can share is : someone may smash harder with a lighter and more flexible racquet. It is absolutely right that more heavy and head heavy racquet can generate more power, however you must be able to swing it fast enough which means that you must have strong enough wrist and arm.

    This situation definitely happens in my case.

    carlton way better than yonex suckas

    I have to agree with trunkz, not just that hes my breast friend but carltons are way better than yonex raquets. It does cut through the air at lightning quick speeds. I use a ti ps ss rite now cus someone has my ab 900, but with my ab 900 i raped with the smashes, more powerful than my iso ti ps and they are about the same weight, i had a pretty super smash a long time ago, ask trunkz he knows about it, note i put had....sniff sniff, but imagine super smash times 2 on my ab 900, thats scooby du ma crazy!!!

    I have them in my hands now.
    My AB1000 shaft is longer than Ti7's.
    However if handles are counted, Ti7 is longer.

    Hey Zero, how about a bit more tone - your response about the CFS didn't really make sense anyway, given that the CFS III system has to do with shaft flex for purposes of obtaining more power and does not have anything to do with length.
