    Is the Carbonex 9 a good racket?
    It cost about RM130 in Malaysia and about $70 in Singapore (if you can find it!).
    Is it worth buying?
    Anyone used this racket before?
    Thanks for any info.

    I was referring to the old Carbonex 9 with the gold T-joint and cone.
    How does it compare with the old Carbonex 8?

    I've tried the Carbonex 9 Tour and it was pretty good. The head was heavier but overall the racquet was light.

    Carbonex 9, the orginal 2 piece racquet was a really nice doubles racquet, great feel and touch with it, pretty much old-school now, but still a nice racquet for doubles.

    The new cab 9 tour, is not as good, too flexible, but good enough for a intermediate player...

    Not worth buying. 2 piece and aluminium and 70 is pricey
