    Hello Cab Enthusiasts and Collectors! I need your help identifying a racket. It is a racket i borrowed from a friend a long time ago and I cannot recall it's model.

    However I remember the following attributes:

    It was Light Green. Maybe kiwi green. It felt heavier than my Cab 30, so I'm guessing 2U. It was not 35, 30, 20, or 21. I also think it was the same length as my Cab 30, but I could be mistaken. Oh, and it was really old.

    I'm leaning towards 8000 Light because that rings a bell in my head, but after looking on the Yonex site, they don't have green versions of it, so maybe it's an older generation.

    I hope this helps :/

    Yes it was a T-join. It wasn't ancient but it definitely was one of the older models. The paint color was sort of like this:

    Was it a graphite model or metal? If it is metal/steel, I think it maybe Yoneyama B7100, aluminium model. I used that about 30+ yrs ago

    I found it and yet I don't think it's the right one.

    It's definitely the closest racket that fits my description. but it's 10mm shorter than the cab 30, which I remember being the same length as the mystery racket. Does anybody know if this cab comes in a long version?

    So close :(
