I was thinking of getting a Cab30MS as a backup for my NS8k (as recommended by you BC-ers), but after reading a bit here and there, I became worried that the oval-head of the Cab30MS may be a thing of the past. I haven't tried ovals before, so I'm not too sure if I will adjust easily to them. Anyways, I was hoping that you guys and gals could recommend me a racket that's ISO that is built and performs similarly to the Cab30MS (in case I decide to get an ISO instead of an oval-head). Thanks again.
Isn't giving me option to edit post ><" Anyways, wanted to add that I'm hoping you can recommend something that is less than $100 USD. Thanks!
Hey, are either the AT700 or AT800OF or AT800DE a good choice for me? Someone trustworthy can get me a good deal for about $80 USD for any of them. I need to know soon though!
NS8k is pretty head light, therefore, cab30ms might not be the best choice, as it's fairly stiff and a bit head heavier. Team up with a smaller sweetspot due to oval head shape, changing between ns8k and cab30ms might not be easy. AT700 and At800OF are very much head heavy, therefore, I don't think you should even think about it. AT800DE is less head heavy, but still not the choice if I am facing this issue. Out of Yonex line, I will recommed SOTX 8/8A, or Pro-Kennex D800.
pm you some more information on CAB30ms still would recomend cab30ms for training .. it's surely not a thing of the pass
If any stranger offers you a brand new At700 or AT800OF for US$80, mostly it's a fake. If the purchase is legit (2nd hand, super sale from reliable source), it still won't worth it. If you don't like the racket, instead of say saving $50, you are wasting $80.
Well, it's someone a relative of mine knows personally, and it's from Hong Kong, where rackets are a lot cheaper. And I'm getting a big discount on them - that's why it's only $80 USD.
get the code before you buy it ... post it to make sure it's real ... to much fake stuff on the market.
Trust me, it is a fake. And you will feel worse when you find out it is a fake, you pay $80 for a fake and have to get another one later. I can not even get one that cheap with my 5 finger discount.
Okay, I'll try to clarify and get my relatives to check the racquet before they purchase it. And in the event that I don't get the AT700/800, what performs like a Cab30MS but is ISO and regular length?
http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57298 LX858 personaly i never try this racket before.. but According to SIR DINK it's very good it's an ISO head http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56021 it's not a yonex but ... dink say's good it's worth a try ... Cheaper than any yonex racket you can get in the market.
You could try MP100 since the material and stiffness is the same but the frame design is the only difference between the MP100 and CAB30MS
No way a brand new AT700 or AT800 can be USD80, period, regardless where. Be very careful. You might very well spent USD80 for something only worth USD$5.
Aiyah that's not the point right now ><" Right now I'm trying to find something similar to the Cab30MS.
so you don't think the LX858 is a good racket? or maybe find MP99 or MP100 like recomended by Phandrew
I am rather confused. If you are looking for the Cab30, you should just get it or at least demo it. This may be a somewhat older racket but it sure does play really well and is sufficiently modern (being 3U and long). Sir Dink is selling quite a few of them so you can get them used. You can always flip at very little loss if you decided that you do not like them. Otherwise, what exactly in the Cab30(MS) are you looking for? The main feature in the Cab30 for me is that it is oval. Ovals have smaller sweetspot that tends to be extremely explosive. There is also an emotional longing for the feel of striking the shuttle in an oval's sweetspot. Notwithstanding technique/style problems, none of the ISOs I have tried gave me the same feel and explosion. Other listed features of the Cab30 are long grip (not shaft), medium stiff (it's actually not that stiff), muscle power frame, Ti Mesh in both frame and shaft. ISO rackets with similar features are MP99 and MP100. I demo'ed the MP99. It's quite a beast but sure wasn't the same feel than the Cab30.
