rds001 mid and rqis 1 tour and dnx10 mid swingweight

[Maris]

Guys, I would like to ask you about the balance and swingweight of these racquets? Yonex writes rds001 mid weight 325g and balance 310 mm, so it should be 7 or 8 pts headlight strung, swingweight probably around 325. But TW lists 10 pts headlight strung. So I don´t know what is right. rqis 1 tour weight 320 g, balance 305, so 9 pts headlight strung should be right. But I think that the swingweight has to be much lower than on rds001 mid, but it is not. So I don´t know. One more question. Does rds001 mid swing much lighter than dnx10 mid? Thanks

310mm = about 12 inches = 10pnts headlight

swingweight is determined also by weight distribution, that is, where the weight is concentrated in the racquet.

i thought the dnx swung heavier but it could be me

Thanks. Yonex lists 10pts headlight strung or unstrung?

strung but this can vary depending on the what string u use

My one RDS 001 mid (340g weight strung) measures 8 pts HL strung with nat gut/poly hybrid. My other one (343g weight) measures 6 pts HL with full syn gut.

Also have rubber band dampeners on both racquets.

I can feel the difference between the two when swinging. Not a big difference, but enough to notice. Adding 3g of lead to the lighter racquet at 3 and 9 correct the weight and balance perfectly.

Thanks I have to try rds001 mid, midplus had too low swingweight, so the ball landed short. I´m looking forward to BB11 mid as well, I hope it will be more resilient and have better sweetspot than dnx10 mid

According to the TW review, some felt that the Mid had more power of the two but by no means is it powerful. I demoed the RDS 001 Mid and it is a very nice racket but you have to supply your own power for sure.

How do you define "more resilient" and even more importantly "better sweet spot" ??
