RDS 002 tour difference

[YonexForrealz]

is there a BIG difference between the rds 002 tour and the RD ti 80?
if so can you share them because i have 2 RD ti 80s and i really like them and for Christmas i might get a new racquet so yea can you help me out with that?
thanks

I'm pretty sure that a couple of RD ti 80 users compared the 002 Tour with that older frame when the RDS first came out. If you haven't tried a search, it may turn something up for you.

Just got done replacing the grip on both of these racquets the other day....

Ti80 - Lighter in static weight, swingweight and more flexier frame
RDS002 Tour - is the reverse heavier on static and swingweights and stiffer frame

If you are used to playing Ti80 - you will need to make some minor adjustment on swing with the RDS 002 tour , otherwise you'll feel the 002 Tour is too powerful; assuming that you used to playing over 12 oz racquests.

Both are great racquet especially for all around player- it boils down to your preference and playing style.

I am enjoy playing stiffer and heavier racquet (002 Tour) but don't mind playing with my Ti 80 every once in awhile.
