    Yes it is for me :). If you have been using the Cab30MS and like it, the Cab35 would be like a step-up evolution. I could discern the similar characteristics between them.

    However, I have no idea how it compares to the older Cabs like 20, 21 ,22, 23, 25.. as I never played with those racquets before. The only other Cab I ever owned was the very old Cab 10 which I gave to my sis a couple of years back. I have completely forgotten how it plays like.

    I add in the 9900 and Arc Z-Slash comparison just as a reference point for those who have played with those racquets.

    Haven't seen them sold anywhere yet in Singapore except Sports Life at SGD219.00. They have 5 pcs each of 3UG4 and 3UG5 in the store.

    Aramistuscany.. you should have strung your ArcZ with a Bg66 and not a CBG100. CBG IMO so far is the worse Yonex string. Feel very Dead.

    Will switch to BG66 Maxima after this. I will see how it continues to play before I proceed with the purchase of the 2U JP. So far my first 2 sessions was not too bad.

    Cab 35 SP

    Saw the piece in Sunrise, it still has the word 'blance'.

    But the racquet looks promising, with high end technology of NS/AT series; elastic Titanium and Arcsaber's ultra pef, for the price of a mid range racquet.

    Balance was rated med stiff and headlight according to Yonex chart. It should be an excellent doubles racquet. :D

    Yes I brought to the attention of the Sunrise staff about the 'blance' and they were actually not aware of it.

    Last week I checked some shops in Singapore and it seems like this racquet was not distributed yet for some reason or another. For now it is only available in Sports Life.

    Apparently that Cab30MS there was given the wrong exorbitant price tag of SGD292 when I brought the issue up with the staff. It should be SGD199 instead.. more in line with the Cab35 at SGD219.

    You know, I just notice that the Cab35 looks a lot like a Oval head-ed 900P! :D

    I will almost agree except I will put the NBG95 as the worse then CBG100.

    Actually, not really. The Cab35 is shorter and has different frame cross section. They are 2 different animals...

    I noticed today that the Cab35 were missing from the racks in Sports Life.

    I was told all the misspelled 'blance' Cab35 racquets were removed from display after an email from Yonex to recall them. This could be the reason why initially it was not distributed islandwide in Singapore.

    The next shipment of Cab35 SP racquets should have the corrected spelling.

    Worse to you but Very Good for me. I like CBG100 more than BG66, except for the price which is almost double. Yonex done a good job in producing strings to suit different type of players.
