Yonex RQis1 Tour (Demo)

Rating:★★
Category:Other
I had a chance to demo RQis1 Tour for a short period of time today. RQis1 Tour comes with new nano-scaled material technology, and aerodynamic design. On the court, this racquet is very different from other Yonex player racquets I have ever played day and night. It feels so hollow, and has EXTREMELY LOW POWER. Even though it's comfortable and has a lively stringbed, it lacks of good mass to generate ball momentum on groundstroke. You need to have a long swing and complete follow-thru to get the ball cross the net. On hard hitting, the racquet pushed around a little bit, not very stable as RDS001. On a positive side, RQis1 Tour has a good spin potential because of open string pattern and head light balance. In summary, it's not good enough to be classified as a player racquet. Yonex must miss something from the design room. If you already own RDX500/RDS001 and expect to get RQis1 Tour for a replacement, stick with what you already have. They are by far better.
