RQiS Tour 1 v BABOLATS

[A_Fish]

For all you guys who have been lucky enough to try the RQiS Tour 1 already, can you please tell me how you would compare it to the general feel of a Babolat (eg. that really solid no nonsense feel). I am after something that feels as solid as rock, ideally around the 95-100 sq. in. head size as I would like some grunt. I have sponsorship from Yonex, and have always used Babolat, so I am really keen for something nice and solid. I have been hitting with Yonex RDS001 MP and RDS002 Tour. I prefer the feel of hitting with RDS001, as it doesn't seem to flex as much.

A comparison of the RQiS Tour 1 against the two yonexes I mentioned would be fantastic if possible.

Many thanks.

The specs look like a beefed up pure drive to me.

I too thought it would be similar to the Babs with the thicker frame but now seeing stiffness of 61 worries me a bit. I am really after something nice and solid.

It's nothing like a Bab PD. It's a lower-powered frame, but more solid than ANY version of the PD that I've hit with. The level of feel in this racquet is superb but you better bring your own power.
