Please compare the two rackets. What's the difference in terms of power (clears), power (smashes), control at net, swing speed, flex and weight?
Cab23 has it balance towards the head. Flex is medium stiff. In terms of power, that depends what racquet you were used to using before.
I have used the Cab 20 Original before, but not the Cab 23. I am extremely comfortable with the Cab 20 Original at the moment. But if possible, I would like to look for a little bit more stability on off-centre hits and perhaps a balance more towards the head (as compared to the Cab 20 Original). I wonder if making a move to the Cab 23 would be a good choice. I have tried the Cab 20 Tour and Cab 20 Muscle. Cab 20 Tour is a little too stiff and sluggish while the Cab 20 Muscle has too much repulsion (too powerful).
The original Cab 20 is medium flex and "normal" balance. However, there is too much shock when hitting. Consequently, there is neither the power feel nor the touch feel but something that is bland. It is an all round racket, but can do with better shock reduction. The shock might be reduced with an overgrip, but since I have a G3, I do not like overgrips with G3's (I use overgrips with G4's). I have never played the cab 23. The cab 25 is like the cab 20 with a bit better shock reduction; the cab 25 is also stiffer. Ron
