    Destricto Ense,

    It was used by the no.1 seeded indonesian lady, Susi Susanti. During that time, she was dominating every tournaments held. 2nd seeded was Huang Hua of China i believe.

    It has a nice colour and bag too i think ...I'll get post pics once im done with my final exams hehehe

    Now when it comes to pricing and rating, thats subjective.

    Becareful about fake/clones : D
    But if you haven't tried yet...try an Armortec, i moved from ISO to AT500 and fell in love

    Oh yeah!! All black with gold writings although my failing memory didn't turn up what they say except something about power and control!! I suspect it's unbreakable.

    Thanks man, I really appreciate that.

(This is bought at about 2004, after with My RSL xD)... Used as a training racket for my sister >.<... Which later on feel not into Badminton lol :D

    The gold one as in the gold coloured frame? That should apply to all 2-piece Cab8's.

    IIRC, the earlier productions, the Cab8 comes in 3 colours (cone and T-Joint). They are red, green and blue. These are U rackets. The later productions Cab8s' are 2U and comes in red and blue. I think the latter blue is deeper than the earlier ones. I still have the blue 2U Cab8.

    In recent years, I believe I've seen Cab8's is produced as a 1-piece racket with variations like Ti and stuff. Someone has to fill in this gap.

    I've never seen a Carbx8 with gold T joint, I've seen a yellow one but thats like super rare.

    The only gold carbonex is Carbx9 ...it comes in 2 colours.
    Gold cone and joint. The other is Silver Cone and Joint.

    That's It!... Yea... you may call it Yellow :D:D:D, But, with a closer look, it will look more like a Gold xD... It's still dangerous since it's the last legacy of Cab8 xD... The Right one is looking like mine xD... But yes... if I could prefer maybe I'd love the red than the Gold T_T... That cursed store only have golds... :mad::mad: Too bad... my hand can't stand using this thing more than 10 minutes now :(:(... So It's nothing more but a training racket now :p:D:eek:!

    They were discontinued, but they were supposedly reintroduced by Yonex. I never managed to find one for sale on the net though.. and besides, I don't really like the new colour scheme ;P
