    dont bring up old threads. you already have a thread you made, and these people don't frequent the forum a lot. this serves no purpose, except for clutter

    either he is telling the truth, or he did a buttcap transplant. however, i don't understand either why someone would paint a racket at all.....

    well the pictures quality very bad, but next time i'll post it again. the serial numbers there. no buttcap transplant (original gold colour old yonex logo). want to make its look better because the scratch too much, so i repaint it.

    The 1st generation cab15? I just don't know. The 1st generation Cab15 has an external T-joint but the frame cross-section is very squarish. Yours look rounded.

    At last my own cab 20...............

    Hiiii to since 2 months i've been in looking for a cab 20....at last i spotted one on near by sports shop...there where actually 2 different versions, a cab 20 (usual blue black)and a cab 20 sp (red black)... though these 2 where marked 85 grams both of them where enteirly different..blue one was very heavy...
    so i settled for red one (sp version , new i think!)...now is sp version is the so called cab 20 special?? because i saw a cab 21 sp and a cab 21 special ....they where having different price tags...

    what is the weight stated on the cone of the cab20s? 2u or 3u?

    the red one is the new color version of cab20sp and is different from cab20 special.

    Hi All, I hope some of the folks here is still around and don't mind if I bring up old thread...
    :D:D

    I just want to share two of my cab20s that I have and will give a tribute to this Cab20 Feast thread! (and I think these two rackets are missing from BlueJeff first/original post thread Cab20s photos collection)

    I've been using Carbonex 20 Tour Special (Red) almost exclusively for the last 9 months, and it's been my all-time favourite for now.
    And recently I was able to obtain a Carbonex 20 Tour (green) and been using it for several matches.
    For quick conclusion between those two rackets: I love both of the racket: the 20 tour is around 5 mm more head-heavy than the tour special and a bit stiffer. Therefore: for power, the 20 tour is more favourable; and for mobility, the 20 tour special is better. Both of the racket gives the same solid feeling for me.

    I've been looking for the 20 tour for quite a while now and very glad that I own one finally :):)
    I've found in the internet that a lot of Indonesian player using the 20 tour in early 2000's: Taufik Hidayat, Halim Haryanto, Trikus Haryanto, and Hariyanto Arbi... And I've read somewhere in BC forum that the 20 tour is the standard racket used for training in Indonesia Training Centre (PBSI Pelatnas) in late 90's to early 2000's.


    Here's quick snapshot picture of the 20 tour vs 20 tour special
    :):)
    (and I may write a full review in a new thread later perhaps)

    Happy Badminton and Stay Healthy as Always!
