I guess that's why Yonex has a reputation for being a "chick stick". ;) LOL

I'm sure you know but Radek uses Volkl. Maybe subconciously thats why I use Volkl because Radek is so ugly. No one would ever think I'm gay.

That wasn't the case with Yonex and Sanchez-Vicario, Navratilova, and Shultz-McCarthy back in the 90's....I remember a quote by Al Bundy, from a "Married with Children" episode, saying that "hot chicks can sell...just about anything, but ugly chicks sell...softballs and tennis racquets."

Not true. Paradorn hits a one-handed BH.

I'm not gay, but...

only men who are not comfortable with their sexuality (...) would preface their statement such a way...BTW, Stephanie Mattek is not ugly...you may like or dislike her threads (I for one dig 'em...) there are lot of less attractive women on the tour...i saw Sonia Mirza & Mattek last weekend in Stanford, and one look at them and I thought, "now those are the girls I'd like to go out and party with..."

Actually, I think their racquets are super. The fit and finish are the best in the industry. If Wilson showed so much attention to detail, Yonex wouldn't be in business.

The RDS001 is a great stick, too. Give it a try if you get a chance.
