    My take on what's good ?

    Carb 20 Tour

    Carb 20 Titanium

    Carb 21 (Not Special)

    Carb 23 MP

    Carb 25


    I've tried all but the Carb 23 MP. But I trust that its good if a good friend of mine can swear by it. My personal take is the Carb 25 though its not available everywhere.

    I've not tried the Carb 9 so I can't put a word on that. As for the Carb 20 classic, I would say its a good racket, but I think the Tour and the Titanium are better versions of the original. I like their feel better.


    And I forgot, the Classic, Original version of the Carbonex 15 which had a carbon frame but an external t-joint. That was some 10-12 years ago I think.

    cab 20 classic for me. I have 3 now.
    Cab20 tour, some people say it is the same as cab22. Quite stiff shaft. I have 4 cab 22. Given a choice of either, I would pick cab 20 classic.

    Re: Carbonex 20 Classic

    You mean the decor silkscreening ... There is another edition which has blue trimmings instead. The Red coloured ones were the second batch. The first was Blue. And the last final batch before all the Carb 20 'versions' cam out looked purplish.

    The racket frame is black.
