Alright, here is my story. It's somewhat complex, so I will try to keep it as short as possible.
THE LONG VERSION:
I work at a tennis store, so I have access to demos of pretty much racquet out there, as well as being able to string them whenever and however I want (this probably contributes to my indecisiveness).
A couple weeks ago, I played with the Yonex RDS 001 MP (2007 model, the glossy yellow one). I really liked it - particularly the flex in the narrow throat. A coworker bought it a couple days later and I borrowed a RDiS 100 MP from a local pro. I've been hitting with it a few days and I feel that it's a little more stiff but I've warmed up to it.
Now, I know that I want a smaller head size (90 or 93) and more weight, so I went hunting for an RDS 001 Mid and found someone who is selling three. He is on vacation and in the meantime I demo'd a K90 (half for kicks and half to test out a 90sq head). I loved it. In fact, I loved it so much I broke the frame during my hitting session today on a particularly big forehand. So I switched back to the RDiS and found myself wanting the k90 again (probably because of the larger head size and lower weight).
Now I have to make a decision.
a) Yonex RDS 001 Mid
or
b) Wilson 6.1 Tour 90
The thing is, I've never played with the RDS 001 Mid so I can't be sure about what to expect. I am hoping that someone here has played with both of these racquets and can tell me how they stack up to each other in as much detail as possible.
THE SHORT VERSION:
1) Wanted to buy RDS001 Mid based on demo'ing RDS001 MP and RDiS100MP.
2) Tried K90, loved it.
3) Have to decide between K90 (which I tried and loved) and RDS001 90 (which I hear nothing but good things about).
4) Want info about how these racquets compare from someone who has played both.
