Product Description

Yonex RDS 002 Tour
The RDS 002 Tour slots in between the heavier RDS 001 90 and the RDS 002, offering a nice compromise of the other 2 frames. The RDS 002 Tour still provides control and predictability with a very traditional feel and in a standard length. This control oriented player's racquet offers a solid and precise feel from all areas of the court. Advanced players will appreciate the stable response at contact. Power comes from the player's ability to exploit the heft of the racquet. Although slated as the replacement for the RD Ti-80 in the Yonex line-up, this one is more similar to the old MP Tour-1 Midplus. At net the RDS 002 Tour offers lots of feel and control.

Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 5.0-7.0 NTRP level players.

Aero Box Variframe: Provides a more aerodynamic cross section at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock points on the frame. Yonex claims a 10% improvement in air flow over the frame by reducing aerodynamic drag via this new Aero Box Variframe shape.

Isometric Technology: With more strings of equal length and a larger effective hitting area in the stringbed, the Isometric Square Head Shape provides consistently accurate shots, giving more power, control and more effective off-center hits.

Flew Control Shaft by Elastic Ti Technology: Elastic Ti delivers the performance players have long wanted in a frame - high elasticity and high strength together. Moulded into the shaft, the Elastic Ti shaft overcomes the limitations of conventional frame matericals. With its powerful rebound effect, a split second after impact and deflection, the Elastic Ti frame snaps back to its original shape with high accuracy and with the full energy of the swing.

Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 5.0-7.0 NTRP level players.

Shockless Grommet Technology: The soft grommets are located at the 4 corners of the frame. These grommets are designed to reduce the shock from any off-center hits, widening the sweet spot even further.

Muscle Power Technology: Extra frame durability and reduced string vibration for a solid feel on impact are attained by "rounding-off the corners" with Muscle Power Technology. You will get up to 10% more spin and up to 7% more ball speed

RATING: 5 of 5 Stars! 5 of 5 Stars!

This is my favorite Yonex racquet (after trying rdx500, rds001); I think the key feature is the frame's thin design (which tapers at 3 & 9 o'clock) which seems to make for high swing speeds on serves and (one-handed) BHs. It is also, like most Yonex frames, very spin friendly. The frame is also very comfortable. I would say this frame compares well w/ Babolat Pure Storm, Prince O3 tour mid, and Head Microgel Radical, all great frames w/ their own strengths and weaknesses. However, IMHO the 002 tour offers a complete package.
