    I've been wondering which yonex series is the most durable and can survive the most clashes and mishits or any other way of it possibly breaking. (Nanospeed, Armortec, or Musclespower). place them in order from 1 to 3
    1.....
    2....
    3......
    I just bought a nanospeed 7000 and im a bit worried about breaking it when im playing. Where do rackets most break???

    My rank is as followed:

    1: MP
    2: NS
    3: AT

    For doubles games I highly recommend the Cab30ms. I have two of them and both of them have survived many clashes.

    None of the above. The current Cab 21 is a brickhouse.

    For graphite, 2U Cabs are the toughest Yonex series imho. Had my Cab20 Power 2U for 10+ years; it's full of chips and craters but still holding up. It has outlasted all of my other rackets. New styles/frame types will come and go, but I think it is safe to say Yonex will always have a Cab line. It is a time tested and proven design.

    I have one "special" SOTX Woven 7 that has survived 30 clashes. In those 30 clashes, I have broken 12 of my partners' rackets. :p

    It's all chipped up and doesn't even look much like a Woven 7 anymore.

    Though this Woven 7 is so strong and so lucky, I still think my new Cab 21 is stronger. That thing is crazy. :D

    haha Mr Dink, your Woven7 must be a racket killer. Teammate killing rate: 12-0. Well done

    Strung a friend's new CAB 21 to 27 lbs X 29.7 lbs. The shaft is stiff. The feel is pretty nice.

    1. You already bought the racket, just try to take good care of it.

    2. Things such as clash, mishit and bad string job are NOT accurate measurement of how durable a racket is.

    Wondering whether should I partner with you, or against you. Either my cab30ms won't survive, or my head won't last... :D
