any of you that had been using cab 9 that have moved on to other racquect? which the best replacement (similar product) since cab9 is long out of production?
I last bot mine (i had used a total of 7 inlcuding this) in 2002. Maybe still some in the market. They only broken in the handle at the end of day. never seen any broken at frame or shaft. quite a good racquet.
cab 9 is a great smashing racket. if u ask a true hard core smasher who have used both old and new generation rackets, the feel of slamming a shuttlecock with cab 9/cab8/blacken stands out over using a all carbon fiber racket. I have sold 2 like new cab 8 (original) to a person who know this for big $$. He wanted more but i don't have anymore. I also know another cab8 player who has ~4-6 brand new cab8 and refuse to sell. He's using regular all carbon fiber racket now because he doesn't even want to degrade his used cab 8 lol
cooler, i have just bought at700 (its the head heaviest in yy chart) to replace the cab9 but i still feel cab9 is better in certain way. will arcsaber stand in better instead? or its the nanospeed?
bought at700 to replace it as it claimed to be the head heaviest in yy family now but still feel cab9 is better in certain way. will arcsaber or nanospeed stand in better instead?
I bought one in Ipoh 6 years ago. It was for the classic value. I don't think any modern racquet can feel similar.
Thanks for the advise. Well if tats the case, its high time to demand for a return the piece i have given to my brother sometime ago. Just in case the current one go out of service. LOL.
it's not easy, old molds prolly destroyed. Need a whole new marketing program from racket manufacturers to convince current generation consumers that 'old' design could be better for them. I think yonex is too big to change course. I think a smaller business person (panda) can try making one at smaller quantity to test the market.
