Can someone share their experiences with the yonex RDIS mid in comparison to the pure storm ltd?
I'm a solid 4.5 level player... This is my 4th season getting back into tennis after a 10 year hiatus.
I've been playing the Pure Storm Ltd this season (with lead in the handle and overgrip - 345 grams unstrung) and pretty happy with it. Last year I played with the Dunlop Aerogel 200 (slightly sluggish and muted feeling which I did not like) and also fooled around with several others the year before (APD non cortex, Head Liquidmetal Instinct, Wilson ncode 95). In addition, I have demoed several others over the last 3 years and have concluded that I prefer ~ 95 sq inch racquets that are heavy, headlight and low swingweights.
I've noticed that 18x20 racquets give more control than more open racquets in that they produce a much FLATTER TRAJECTORY and thus am less likely to spray shots long. However, I also find that I tend to clip the tape significantly more with 18 x 20 racquets on serve and on normal forehand/backhad shots (much less net clearance).
Therefore, I would really like to find a racquet that plays VERY SIMILAR to the Pure Storm Ltd but with a 16 x 20 pattern and have narrowed it down to the RDIS 100 mid.
I like the "whippy" feeling of the PSltd with it's low swingweight and I'm hoping the yonex has similar characteristics (No tennis shops around me carry the yonex 93, only the midplus so I'm willing to take a chance and purchase one based on specs and reviews from here)
Thanks to all
