As expected, it was 28 inches long...

However, it wasn't that heavy...

In fact, my Liquidmetal Radical Tour with 20g of leadtape feels heavier...

color is okay, but the new PJ design doesn't look too nice.

Thanks for the pics! I would love a pic of the racquet in full, just to appreciate the 28".

BTW, look at the grommets located in the throat area: they are short instead of the longer ones like the ones in the RDS 001 model. Nalbandian never used the longer grommets. I wonder why.

Maybe for more feel? Like the Prince 03 Tour you have the normal rubber throat grommet piece (long) and the hard throat piece without the rubber (short). Davydenko used the short throat piece on his 03 Tour.

I wonder what the stiffness is of Nalbandian's racquet?

So this means it's really his second Yonex after the RDX500? What did he use prior to that? POG longbody? and before that?

It says carbon nano tube on the stick, also the frame is much more box shaped than the previous RDS line.
