    The VTZF Ltd Edn is a little too sexy for my taste.

    Carbonex 50 is the fairest of them all.:D

    Haven't seen Cab 21 original, seriously, with a touch of pink?

    Yes, I have both the silver/pink and blue/gold versions and I prefer the pink. ;)

    I used to have the gold one in UK code but the head snapped. Here are some photos mine.

    Nice collection there. I had the blue (21 SP) as well but not the pink (21).

    Btw, is it a recent acquisition? I mean the CAB 21 SP and CAB 20 (the 2 racquets in the middle)?

    Thanks a lot, now at least I've seen a picture of it! Cool.

    I noticed that the pink one is actually a CAB 21 while the blue one is a CAB 21 SP. Guess, CAB 21 SP came after the CAB 21, therefore CAB 21 is the true original and the SP was released as a special?

    Yes, as I said above, I used to have an original UK Cab 21 (blue-gold version) but the head snapped so this is all I have now. The Cab 21SP is the old logo too. In terms of how they play, from my experience of playing with the Cab21, all the "old yonex" logo ones feel the same, SP or not.

    I also have several Cab 20's amongst other classics - I'm a collector of old yonex racquets! ;)

    Cab21 SP back then is still what it is today: SP distribution code (done a lot more elegantly than the SP on the shaft today ;)), not to be confused with Cab 21 Special

    Very nice collection yes, unfortunately not mine :D but just to be able to point out the differences between the gold and silver version (lacking a pic of said silver, or "pink", version)

    Thanks so much for sharing. Now, I'm interested about the blue-gold version.:)

    Thank you for clarifying that out. I naively confused the ''SP'' distribution coding as ''Special'' since it isn't supposed to be where it is. I mean, certainly I wouldn't expect a Carbonex 21 UK or Carbonex 21 GR inscription just like that, you know the distribution code are supposed to be at the cone, right? Well, apparently I was wrong.

    The CAB 21 SP you got there on the pix looks like the one I have unloaded (last year for both racquets) and to a lesser extent the CAB 20.:);) I actually kept a list of all the shaft and cone codes of my racquets (sold or otherwise) but I can't see thru the pix. It is pointless of course since I've sold it but felt nice to see it out there (if indeed they were the ones).;)

    imo, like Arcsaber Z-slash TH version and VT70 the most, maybe because i like black colour....
    but i find Arcsaber 5dx and VT9 also beautiful, very nice gloss colour...:)
