RDS001 Mid to a RQIS Tour 1?

[indianpryd45]

Hey all
ive been playing with an RDS 001 for the past 5-6 months, and I'm liking it. I tried out the midplus and mid version, decided i liked the mid better. I felt i had good pop, the right amount of power and it just felt good in terms of pace. I am considering switching to the RQIS Tour 1. I have a play style similar to Hewitt(counterpuncher), but its NOWHERE near as good, haha. My goal is to kind of play how he plays, in terms of style.

How does the RQIS Tour 1 play? Ive looked for reviews, but havent really found any. What type of racquet is it, and is it worth it to switch from the Mid?

let me know if you have any experiences with the RDS 001 mid or the RQIS Tour 1

thank you

the RQiS 1 Tour plays similar to the rds001 mid.. I currently play with the RDS001 Mid. I have alot more power on the RQiS1 Tour and it is alot easier to come around for my two handed backhand. Other testers said that they liked their backhands (one handed and two handed) on the racquet. You would probably have to string it a little bit tighter than the RDS001. I played on a demo racquet that was strung with ALU Power at 64LBS. It is a little more powerful, but I still had the control that I have with the RDS001 Mid. I'm getting three of the RQiS1 Tour's as soon as they come in. =)

I do not think the RQIS plays similar to the RDS mid. It is much more powerful and flexy than the RDS. I was fortunate enough to test the RQIS and thought it was a good all around racket but not as much precise control as the RDS. I stayed with the RDS.

I played a few sets with this racquet.. really powerful on the serves, but takes a little re-learning. I am still learning how to serve with the RQiS.

I was playing with the 001 MP and always felt like it was too light. I have the RQiS 1 now and it is way more solid. The specs on weight and balance are pretty close but the swingweight is higher with the RQiS 1 and this makes it feel way more solid on all strokes.

I've switched from RDS001Mp yo RDS002Tour gr 3. Great. Perfect. No customizing required.
My friend has tried the RQiS 1 Tour to switch from RDS00 mid and has declined.
He says RQiS feels heavier than 001 and difficult for his/our one handed backhand. He is going to switch to 001 Mp indeed.
