Switching to Yonex Frames

[Soul Lynx]

Hi everyone, here's my story. I've been playing with the POG Mid for the last little while now, its a pretty solid stick and amazing control. My groundstrokes I would say are decent with a bit of power/spin attached to them, serve wise I would say its alright for me. However for some reason, i feel like the ball moves a bit slow whenever I serve.
Then recently over the summer I've bought a Yonex Rd Ti70 Mid (88sq.in ver). I tried it out and really liked it, I feel more power on my forehand, I could really blast down the lines and cross courts. The control wavered a little, every once in a while my shots go long. The serves were a big plus, I felt a big surge of power/control to put aces into the corners. I think its a plus with the isometric design or maybe its just me.
At a racket shop I usually shop at, I saw an RDiS 100 Mid, hewitts frame not nalbandians. I compared the specs with the POG on TW side by side and they seem to match up almost identically. Aside from string pattern, material and frame layout.
With the similar specs from a POG and the power from an isometric head, would this be an ideal racket to try out? Does anyone have both the POG and RDiS and how do they compare side by side? Much appreciated if anyone can help! thnx

A) If you like the Ultimum RD Ti 70, why would you switch?

B) If you're interested in Yonex frames now because of how you play with the Ultimum RD Ti 70, why would you look for one that's similar to a different racquet?

C) Two racquets with similar specs can have markedly different feels, especially between brands. I can't speak to how 'ideal' the new Yonex might be for you, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try it for yourself. Demoing is always a good idea.

D) I owned an Ultimum RD Ti 70 myself, and it is a very unique racquet, even amongst those of yesteryear. No other point here really, just an FYI.

This thread is useless if you don't tell us your string setup & tension.
You could probably get more control with a string that's right for you....

my POG is strung at 60 with a full bed of Agnes Perfect Spin
im not sure about the Ti70, it looks like a hybrid of prince synthetic and some poly strings.
I'll demo the RDiS to see how I play with it
thnx for the replies!
