Which racket do u think is better for smashing and offense? Cab30 doesnt have the iso and im wondering if that really makes a big difference...but it is cheaper. Armortec 500 is around $150 USD i think and cab30 is around $100. Overalll, what do u think is better?
I ve got both and I would say Cab30MS. If you hit it right with the cab it makes boom which is priceless. Go for the Cab !
I find the Cab30MS more balanced. The head heaviness and g-force Ti of the AT-500 causes a lag in recovery after a swing; especially cross body follow-throughs. If this is going to be your doubles racquet I'd recommend the Cab30.
the bad rebound time is what i HATE about my at-500. Now i'm looking for a head light woven (much cheaper but very good quality).
I own two of Cab30ms and love them. I highly recommend them. However, there is prerequisite for using Cab30ms, it is a strong wrist. It is a fairly demending racquet in terms of skill and less forgiving. I would say give a try before you go and buy it. Good luck!
The AT-500 is more head heavy. I also second what Javalina said. The Cab30 is a very stiff racquet. If you're not used to it, it may cause you to think the racquet is heavy when it's actually your arm getting tired quickly. Compared to the AT-500, the Cab30 may be a little stiffer. Not too sure. To add to what I said before, the lag is noticeable if you're not conditioned to it, like stiffness. After training with heavier racquets, I hardly notice it all in follow throughs, but I do notice it when playing close to the net where I need to switch sides quickly.
I will recommend cab30 muscle. once you get used to the stiffness, you can see the power of this racket
I too also recommend the CAB30MS (I own 4 - all 3UG4). It's a terrific balanced racket which can be used in both singles and doubles. I do not know how the 2U version plays (Only in asia)..hopefully someone can give u their thoughts on that version.
Cab30ms all the way. It's a well balanced (although, many believes a bit more toward head heavy side) racket, and if you can handle the stiffness, it packs a lot of power, as well as smooth net control.
You get more BANG for your buck if you go with Cab30ms. My current main racquet are NS9K-x and Cab30ms. Also Cab30ms is more durable in my opinion.
Looks like here is a party of Cab30MS If you switch from ISO to it, it will take a while to make your game SOUND better . (Initially, there will be some shots off in this case.) The CAB explosive power from the sweetspot is surely sweet.
i would recommend cab30ms instead of at500. if u can afford its heaviness, u can find this racket brings u lots of power and, it is highly controlable as well. Frankly, its agility is not quite satisfied at all, particular in replusion. Thus, may not be suitable for double player... it depends what kinds of player indeed...
