I love my Yonex RDX500!

[henryshli]

I have the following sticks:
3 x K90
1 x PS85
1 x N90
1 x PS88
1 x RDX500

PS85 used to be my favorite but more and more I realise that the RDX500 is the best stick for me.

I wonder if anyone else agrees?

Meh, i've been playing with it, but it just lacks the pop. The weight and flex are perfect though. Well maybe the flex isn't perfect, but still.

I broke the strings today though

I find that it has quite a large sweet spot so I don't have problem with the pop.

RDX500s are not on sale anymore, do you know other sticks I can buy that play just like it?

I agree...almost perfect racquet but lacks pop on the serve. I'd love to find a racquet that was a combination of the RDX-500 Midplus and the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick...in my opinion this would be the perfect racquet.

Well, I'm loving the Dunlop AG100. It is the same weight as the RDX but with the pop.

I'm lovin' that you're lovin' that Yonex!

Having dabbled in a little racquet hell of my own, I've settled in with a couple of frames that I'm always happy to have in the bag. I know that it's sort of cheating, but since I've found a couple of solid performers I just figured, "Why choose?" Really no need to look around anymore, though I might have a go with one or two interesting models like the BB 11 mid if I happen to stumble across one in the future.

A good fit with a racquet is a truly groovy thing... now if I could just perfect my down the line groundstrokes...

Tried it and it was much too heavy feeling in play. I like the 11.7 ounce range with 7 to 8 points headlight (swingweight around 320). The 12.1 oz and 330 swingweight was just too much for me. I think I could really learn to love my Pure Drive Roddick (it's around 11.7 oz) if the swingweight weren't so high. I have problems whipping my forehand crosscourt so decent maneuverability is of pretty high importance.

Thanks for the input though.

RDX500 MID is one of the best Yonex made.. I would rate it with Super RD TI 70, Super RD Tour 90 and RDX500 MID.. I thought it has plenty of pop and powerful racket.. You got to string it loose though.. Since you are able to handle those player above, RDX500 is like a canon I would say.. If you add some lead on it, it's going to be a perfect weapon.. do a 3,9 and above the grip balance... you'll find it's even better racket.

I agree. The great thing about the AG100 is that the SW is 312, only 3 away from the Yonex. I used teh FXP Rad tour, and it felt sluggish (mid 320s SW and 12 oz, plus heatshrink sleeve).
