Default Hingis out; Vaidisova in. Nicole switches to RQis-2 Tour

I think I know why Hingis has always had a penchant for 'powder white' racquets during her career...

no PJ here. Notice the pronounced rounded edges of Nicole's RQis-2:

I noticed some pronounced rounded surfaces, but I wasn't looking at the racquet.

Of course she is using tour-2. this is one of the best rackets ever made. she should improve at least 10 ranking spots with this new racket.

No but you may just move up 0.5 level.

I'm a big yonex fan and think that they do produce the best racquets; however, statements like the one above are plain silly and will just generate a backlash against the brand/racquet! If that was said as a joke then I apologize if I seem heavy handed.

But isn't that what all racket Mfg claim when they come out with new Tech game improvement racket ?? they always claim that it will improve your play and levels and so on and so on.

Yep. So if one buys enough racquets, one can literally become a pro and even possibly surpass Federer.

Thanks,
