Yonex RDiS 200 Tour - Page 2

nabbydian · 01-19-2010, 07:22 PM

cant see clearly in the picture but now is already 3rd week of Jan and since the racquet is going to be released in Feb we are only a few weeks away from seeing it

i dont have a twitter account either

they tweeted Kleybanova will be playing with the RDIS200 in the match with Dokic, turn on the tv but it was good o RDS002 Tour on the screen again

I'm watching her match against cirstea live now, she's using the rds 002 tour....the whole story behind this racquet is strange....especially as yonex is usually very customer friendly....weird.

nabbydian · 01-19-2010, 08:26 PM

as far as i know there is no story behind this racquet - no news from Yonex at all

XFactorer · 01-19-2010, 10:59 PM

I stand corrected; the Japanese option of the RDS002 is mainly black with a white hoop... so, I hope that's the new racquet that we got pics of... although why can't I find that when I Google "RDiS 200"?

XFactorer · 01-19-2010, 11:03 PM

I did find a Japanese blog post about the RDiS 200... and they were mentioning that the paint job is asymetrical and not like the other ones in the RDiS line... more like the new Wilson racquets...

I'm more inclined to believe that that previously posted pic IS the new racquet...

Yonex has erected a veil of secrecy for this racquet...you are not supposed to find any news on it

XFactorer · 01-19-2010, 11:25 PM

More news! From another Japanese blog:

"The shape of the two types of weight settings are exactly the same. Asymmetrical black in color, gold (orange), and a sprinkling of white, it's pretty cool! " --via Google Translate

Length: 27 in

nabbydian · 01-20-2010, 12:36 AM

XFactorer you are good!

you are even digging into those japanese websites...amazing

the specs looks indentical to the RDS002 Tour, 300g for the lower grip size? that is a bit too light but same as what is on the 002 Tour anyway

XFactorer · 01-20-2010, 12:45 AM

The beam is thicker, too... at least from the sounds of it.

Yonex won't tell me anything, I'll have to dig myself. And Tweeting them won't help; they don't respond.

funny, why is Yonex keeping quiet about a new release - it doesnt make sense.

all this hype over a new racquet can only be good for its sales later on...the worst thing is when no one is taking about it

Seems like we're the only two hyping about it... I don't think anyone else cares...

Although there is a junior at my club who just recently got the RDS002 and I told him the new ones are coming out...

yeah haha, wat to do

yonex doesnt seems to be that popular on this forums. the RDIS series doesnt seems to be as well received as the RDS series

yonex users are very quiet in this forum so far

XFactorer · 01-20-2010, 01:26 AM

I've hit with the RDiS 100 MPs and I want 'em! I had the RDS 001 and liked them. I like the flex and feel of the RQiS 1 Tour and the RQiS 1 Tour XLs. The RDX 500s are my fave by far. I want a new Yonex racquet!

wayne_718 · 01-20-2010, 01:36 AM

hi guys, I'm also keen very keen to find out more about the rdis 200! Looks like the picture posted before is actually it..

mjwtpro1 · 01-20-2010, 12:35 PM

ahem...i have been hyping this too...

i thought thats what the new racquet in the pic was...

XFactorer · 01-20-2010, 01:41 PM

heh, thanks, Mjwtpro1! I hope the US version looks better, 'cause that pic of the racquet isn't too hot. I'm hoping it's just the same scheme of the RDiS 100 in an orange color.

mjwtpro1 · 01-20-2010, 05:09 PM

The picture is so small....give it a shot...I did not like the cosmetics of my rdis100...until it arrived....looks much better in person.

Same, the RDIS100 paintjob is fantastic so it shouldnt look too bad in orange

nabbydian · 01-25-2010, 05:41 AM

Woodersen · 01-25-2010, 08:32 AM

Is it me or does the beam seem thicker than the RDiS 100?
