I always played with wilson frames, prostaff original 95, prostaff 7.5, HPS 6.1, ncode 90, ncode 95, k-faktor,

And now I switched to RDS 002 tour, and I don't think I will ever look back. Crips, low power, old school feel, nice flex, yet very nice bite, and tons of control. Weight and SW just perfect, that lighter than k-faktor 95. The K-fakrtor 95 but than a bit better in every aspect, for my game at least.

Would never have expected to switch but why stay with one brand after all if anothe plays better?

Highly recommended for everybody who want a players stick.
 
Yeah I really want to purchase this one, i've been playing with the RDS 003 for a year but I feel it has too much power now. The only thing that concerns me with the tour is how easy it is to get around though people have said its fine.

how is the stablity compare to all the pro staff 6.1 series? is it more arm friendly?
 
Just recently bought an RDS002 tour. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with the demo and bought one the next day. I've always been a player who preferred the heavier players frames. While this doesn't have the higher swingweight of Wilsons (K,N,PS - 90,95) it is still a very stable frame with excellent ball feel. I was previously a dunlop guy (and haven't put down my 200Mfil) but the tiny sweet spot on the 200 series Dunlops have not done me the same justice in doubles as the larger sweetspot on the Yonex.
 
True.
Very stable, and smooth and arm friendly.
As stable as most of the PS's.
 
I live in europe; the Yonex frames are cheaper than Wilson frames overhere (150 euro for a RDS 002 tour compared to 170-180 euro for a wilson K95). A pitty that Yonex is relatively expensive in the states. Still, give it a try if you like players' sticks; haven't had anything better in the last couple of years although it remains a personal issue ofcourse! Crisp, soft, flexy at the same time, gives you a lot of feel and confidence..
 
I have been using this frame for the last month and I think it is probably one of the best players frames available today. Crisp, comfortable, medium to low powered and the spin and control are first rate. I am still messing around with string setups. I have yonex super 850spin on it now and it plays fairly well with it. I am going to try my usual klip kboom in the mains and a multi in the crosses next. I love this frame at the net. You can really stick your volleys with it.
 
It's ironic how no-one bought the RDTi80 yet give it a paintjob and give it the "Tour" name and you have a winner!
 
I would love to try out a Yonex but my main concern is the open pattern (16x19). And I dont know where I got this from, but I get the impression that Yonex's are spin machine best suited for heavy topspinners.
 
I demoed the TI-80 and this is not the same frame. The TI-80 had a very tinny feel, where the 002 tour is very solid. Th 002 tour is a bit heavier as well. If it is the same frame with a paint job, I 'd be surprised, but I honestly wouldn't care because I am enjoying this racquet.
 
The Ti-80 had a following. It is a great frame.

What strings and tensions are you all using in your RDS 002 Tours?
