Yonex RQ-260 mid

[Ross K]

Anyone have any experience or views on this racket?...

If I'm not mistaken, it was used by the pro Aaron Krickstein (think that is his name?) a while back...

Anyhow, would love to hear from someone who has any thoughts/observations on it at all (like how it plays... pros and cons... is it particualarly 'regarded'?... etc)...

Thus far, all i really know is it is very low-powered and very flexy (oh and BTW, the cosmetics are very dark green with glittery fleck... grey bumper... actually has 'widebody' written in frame... actual head-size is apparently 92"...)

Thanks,

R.

Nobody knows anything?....................

I had hit with the RQ-180 once..... The only Yonex that I was aware of Krickstein using was the R-27.

Just thought I'd post this up 1 more time in the hope someone might know something about this seriously solid, mega-flexy feeling mystery frame.

Cheers,

R.

I found one of these for sale dirt cheap in a local marketplace. Thinking of grabbing it.

Anyone else has more experience with it?

Same mold as RQ150/180/190/200/220. Difference is the Material Composition. RQ260 with Graphite, Fiberglas, Kevlar and strung RA66. RQ150/180 are the first ones from 1988 but a bid to harsh. But Yonex developed them. From playability view the latest RQ220/260 are the best. And objektive measured faster and more comfortable. At that time I tested most of them. For me the RQ220 was a little better than the 260 and the best of the smaller ones. The best of the bigger 102sq Inch versions was the RQ380. They all had the special Yonex Widebody feeling at it's best. This RQ series is an underrated alltime great construction, not comparable to any other racket due to the special lateral flex of the racket head.
