    I think the Cab9 is the original version (not Super). Original Cab3 is a wooden racket ;) ...

    oops. I thought the SP means super, but it's the area code, right? The racquet i'm using is carbonex 3 super, it's a Chinese-made Yonex

    Yes from SP area code. That one is still Made in Japan line, with below that Made in Taiwan and below that at the bottom Made in China models.

    This should be Carbonex 3 Super right, it says it has a steel shaft but not much more info (also in blue version):

    Yup, that's the one. It's an old old old racquet, from 2004 or 2005 I think. I'm looking for a racquet with the same stiffness, but can't figure out the stiff level of cab 3 super. Guess I have to ask my coach then

    DinkALot did not review any rackets since 2009.
    I simply used his table to figure out which old Apacs is best for me and ordered a couple.
    If anybody has data on new models - send it to me, will definitely add it to the spreadsheet.

    Panda actually has a few rackets reviewed, just haven't put up the results: VT70, Nano Ray 700RP, Fleet Woven 1000 and a few others.

    Planning to do a complete overhaul of the reviews one of these days...soon.

    Ahh, global overhauls, they always take us ages to complete, mostly it's because you never feel prepared enough to start :))

    Thanks for your great contribution to this community, I just bought Apacs 9900 based on your table and it is really awesome. don't regret a single cent I've spent on it.

    paulierand, how is Dinkalot supposed to be a trusted impartial source if he reviews his own rackets? :rolleyes::D

    i don't care about the impartial part. well, i do...
    His rackets are awesome, period. and i think he's got the trust of the ppl to give an unbiased review.
    i just wanna see how it stacks up against the rest. I don't think it would be 10, 10, 10. haha

    My mind is blown on the detail of that chart! I think I could look at that and safely make any kind of major purchase, from any brand.

    How long did this list take to put together????
