Yonex longer lifecycle?

[andreyhuang]

Is Yonex racquet usually have a longer lifecycle?

Wilson has introduced their K series, Babolat has a new Cortex, Dunlop has moved to Aerogel technology, and Prince has a new update for their O3, SpeedPort, and Head has got Microgel.

However Yonex still has the same technology as last year, and RDS001 has been around for a while. Although they have a new range of RDS002 and yet still used the same technology as RDS001.

Racquet companies are moving too slowly. There should be a new line to accompany each slam!

That is so true, it wonder if Wilson's new line will be out for Wimbledon.

Reverence for age, not easily discarding the old for the new, is a Japanese cultural trait.

I love the fact that technology advances fast. It makes the "older" racquets cheaper.

Fixed for you.
Nothing wrong with old rackets at all imo, unless you gotta have the "latest and greatest".

Hi Andrey,
I have already mentioned in these forums before, when yonex designed their RDS racquets, they got it right the first time. I play with both the RDS 001 and the K90 Tour. The only difference is I use the Yonex if I am playing after a long day's work and need something a little more forgiving. The so called technology used in the RDS001 is suited for that racquet and its design dimensions.....This however is no indication of a racquet's lifecycle. The wear on the frame will be contingent on the player, environment and if he has a McEnroe complex:wink: , his moodswings. Its a good thing Kyle Turley never plays tennis.
Hope this bolsters what you were trying to say.

Tom.

No doubt Yonex RDS001 mid especially is one of the best racquet that I ever try, and usually Yonex has a really fine precise quality mold, better than other brands. RDS001 mid suits me better than K90 as well

I am just waiting Yonex to release a new version of RDS001 because they have a glow yellow color. I know some people like it and others don't

Hopefully they will come with more subtle classic color.

They need to just bring the RDX-500 back. The RDS doesn't seem like an improvement over the RDX except maybe in the serving department. The RDX-500 Mid was the best overall racquet Yonex has come out with in the past several years.
