I was between Ti 80 lite and RDiS 200 lite and Xi 98 for my next racquets, I might have to wait until then. Now I'm helpless.

I just bought yesterday an Ezone Xi Team Plus, man, I'm pi... now, I can't be buying these racquets every month.

They look really nice

Very long throat as well.

Corners, what are they trying to do with a very long throat opposed to a smaller throat from the Xi series??

Do you have an answer for this man?

oh wow, interesting. guess that would make sense with the 'tour' label.

I guess they really mean it.

330g plus string and over grip that will be around 350g at least.

Mid size is not my type, I like 98 to 102, in this case I'll look at the 97, lol for once.

台湾製 = Made in Taiwan

So they are not made in Japan anymore? Or Are they referring to some accessories only?
Just saying as I don't really care.

the case and grommets are made in taiwan.

How do we know this has a thinner beam than the 95?

Oh! And they mention "high elasticity" in the material section... :) I want my noodle racquet back (like the RDX 500s)!

From Yonex description of the 97. I want to hit Gyro drives so bad! And then this:

"The world's first micro core with high-density core material."​

I would be inclined to think they were going Xene on us, but that wouldn't actually be the world's first.

I find the Donnay throats to be distractingly and uncomfortably thin. 18.5mm is a good throat size, ala the RQiS 1 Tours.

On that translator it says:

X-micro carbon fullerene core high elasticity, not xenecore or whatever it is.

After reading some threads, people were saying Donnay racquets come with lead, they are pretty much deceiving people, I don't want none of that, I take it as raw as it comes, so no Donnay for me, I will stick with these Yonex, since I bought a ezone xi team plus yesterday for some extra spin.

I also believe Yonex has much better quality and design than Donnay.

Maybe it was designed to ward off....... Godzilla!!!!!!????!!!

Racquets look good.... Gyro drives sound like digitized contraception. Easy.

Yes, the present Ti80 but soon to be phase-out. Its on sales now at $99, and if you are interested, better act fast on it. :)

Oh... yeah. I'm over it. I went from the Ti80 Lite back to the RQiS 1 Tour. Now I'm on the EZONE Xi98 until the VCORE 97T comes out.

What's makes you go back to the RQiS 1 Tour if I may ask?
I am moving from RDX500 mid to RDiS100 then to RDS001, and now Ti80 Lite. Needed something in range of 315-310gm unstrung stock frame. But somehow Ti80 lite is proving to be a hard frame to tame especially playing against a higher level opponent. Like you, I may be just looking at VCore 97T as the solution.

Information Live on Yonex Website

New technology is the Micro Core technology, which is a type of foam injected into the frame to provide stability and power, per Yonex. Width for both 89 and 97 in2. is 19 mm. shaft, 20 mm. head like the Ti-80. Stan Wawrinka is supposed to use this frame or a paintjob at the Madrid Masters.

They look like a dream! Now I'd like to know how they perform compared to Prestige IG Mid and MP, can't wait to read a review...

I wonder if this is supposed to be a d (drive) or an s (spin) racquet. The marketing says spin and the 16 x 20 says its a drive..... Wonder what kind of grommets it's got....

So...which racquet is Wawrinka REALLY playing with?

Even Yonex.com is stating conflicting info. It mentions the 97Tour and 98D for Wawa.

Meanwhile, he was spotted earlier in the year with a 95D (pre-paint job).

Well, I moved back to the RQiS 1 Tour because I missed it's feel. But I moved AWAY from it because of it's headsize combined with my inability to volley. I'm with the EZONE Xi98 right now and pretty happy, especially now that I've discovered PolyTour Spin in it at 45 lbs. And I added some lead tape to 3 and 9. Stock form was too instable for me, again, I hit a lot of off-centered volleys.

I'll try out the 97T G (310g) and HG (330g) versions with the intention of switching purely because it's a new racquet. hehe.
