Yonex RDS 001 Mid Tennis Racquet

The Yonex RDS 001 Midsize is updated for 2008 with a new matte finish cosmetic and remains a control frame for the advanced player looking for stability and maneuverability in a player-oriented package. The 2008 version of the RDS 001 keeps all specifications intact with the previous generation, still providing control and predictability, with a very traditional feel. The 2008 RDS 001 Midsize plays as though it has a larger sweetspot than its 90 square inch headsize would suggest, feeling solid yet forgiving.

The RDS series from Yonex also features the use of Elastic Ti in the shaft of the racquet. Elastic Ti vercomes the limitations of conventional frame materials. 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. 

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.

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
