    The Armortec series are the most head heavy Yonex racquets, but most are well over $100. You should be able to buy an Armortec 150 for less than $100 and the Armortec 250 for around $100. The 250 is a stiffer racquet and the 150 is considered medium stiff.

    many brands have head heavy stiff rackets. look up some Apacs or yang yang or fleet, and find the head heavy rackets.
    for yang yang, it should be the sensations.
    if you cant buy local, think about shipping.

    You can consider Ti-10.
    Is not really head heavy tho, but it under your budget.

    what about sotx woven 7.

    I think APACS is your best bet for under 100, head heavy, stiff.

    2nd gen here is around that price $100
    3rd gen is a bit more expensive

    another wise option.
    you can go with amp 90 or 95 for under $100
    Solid feel with head heavy feel.

    Not too many rackets that are stiffer than the CAB22.

    You may want to try the CAB20 Ti Power :D

    actually the problem is those rackets r hard to find in India i guess !!. Most of the shops here have Cab 21 sp at around 50$(made in JAPAN):eek:...n other thing is that those rackets r old models isn't?....

    if you have explosive shorts, and an explosive swing, don't get a racket,buy new shorts, for every pair that explodes.
    on another note, if you have an fast powerful swing, the extra stiff will probably give you the most advantage. if you it is a bit slower, the 6000 and 5000 will suffice.
