Not confirmed. Notice Tenniswarehouse took Verdasco off the list of players using Yonex. Don't expect to hear anything until Miami.

He's probably trying the new custom tounge on his Geniuses. Logo or no logo, you can still tell he's wearing Genius II's.

money is one thing - but can't imagine a top player like verdasco would give up performance for a couple of extra 100k dollars? i think yonex rackets play nicely, but wouldn't use one.

No doubt, he'll play worse then.

What "performance" did he give up exactly? He won a title beating Roddick straight after switching to Yonex and it was first top 10 opponent he beat in a long time. So tell me what kind of performance did he give up?
You wouldn't use one? Really? Wow Verdasco out to be really concerned then...

Hey XFactorer,
Do girls match their outfits to their rackets? I got one for you--I heard Kirilenko uses wilson strings which she painted to match her Adidas outfit. If it's true why not ???
It's a business.

The way I heard it from the US Regional Tecnifibre rep was that Yonex offered Verdasco 500K/year for 3 years to use the RDiS200. Verdasco has a new agent who felt that Verdasco was not getting enough money from Tecnifibre. Yonex doubled Tecs offer and Verdasco took it.
Ron Rocchi from Wilson told me that Wilson spends more money than most companies in Tennis, but Yonex spends 10 times what Wilson spends. Yonex owns over 50% of the badminton business globally, along with the strong tennis market share in Asia which gives them plenty of money to spread around on tennis. This is also one of the reasons that the QC and paint jobs on Yonex racquets is the best on the market.
Cheers, TennezSport
And Yonex also made some of the very best golf clubs on the market 6 years ago!
Don't know about now, as I'm still using the same golf clubs, they are that good

Verdasco was hitting with his Technifibre frame today at Indian Wells.

Pics or it didn't happen!
Anyway, the RDS002 was SUPER stiff. If you to go Yonex.co.jp, you can find a graph of where the racquet lie on a chart with power/control on one axis and hard/soft on another. RDiS is close to the middle with the RDiS 100s towards the control/hard part of the plane.

I didn't get any pictures of him, only of the WTA mostly.
>Though I did get a picture with Taylor Dent (who let me hold/swing his kBlade pj.) At first he actually said he couldn't because, "it's a magical stick." But I started talking about how I read that he prefers to use high SW frames with very low flex. That's when he said, "take a swing." He also said it's "whatever Wilson gives me" but also added that it wasn't quite as soft as his previous sticks.

According to http://www.yonex.com/tennis/topics/rdis200/index.html it is made in Japan. Scroll down to the bottom of the page on the right hand corner.

Guess European yonex distributor decided to import only 295g version.
TW Europe can do nothing about it.

Controlled power. That's the key.

Many people have complained that the RQiS 1 Tour didn't have power... but it really is controlled power. Yonex has solid feeling racquets unlike the hollow feeling ones from others.
In Japan, its 300g for the H model and 320g for the HG model.
I don't understand why Yonex changes the specs on certain products when they distribute to other countries.
From what I've seen, the RQiS 1 Tour and RQiS 2 Tour sold in the US have different specs from what they sell in Japan.
The RDS001, 001MP, 003, RDiS100, 100MP, 300, RQiS 95 XL, XL Lite are the same.
Not sure about the other models I left out, RDS002, 002 Tour, etc... but I can always check
