Yonex RQiS 2 Tour Tennis Racquet The Yonex RQiS Tour 2 is designed for Martina Hingis and is the latest racquet offering from Yonex for 2007. Remains a power-oriented frame that remains nicely controlled for the intermediate to advanced player looking for stability and manuverability with a little extra pop. The RQiS Tour 2 is a sequel to the popular Yonex RQS-11 and recalls the classic beam design of the Yonex RQ-180 from the early 1990’s. Beam measures a thin 19mm in the throat section to enhance flex and control, with a 28mm beam width in the central hoop area for added stiffness and power.

The “iS” in RQiS stands for Impact Speed-a snap-back action which stores energy on impact, then releases it with tremendous power and speed. Yonex utilizes a new graphite construction known as Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube in its RQiS racquets which helps the frame flex, yet provide quick replusion for power and a solid feel.

The RQiS series sontinues the use of Elastic Ti in the shaft of the racquet.Racquet Specifications

Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racquet The Head Metallix 4 is a new slightly more control-oriented option in Head’s line. Like the Metallix 10 and Metallix 6, the Metallix 4 retains the use of Flexpoint technology and offers several new technologies for 2006.

Head Metallixis incorporated into the shaft section, making the Metallix 4 lighter and stiffer for more power.Metallixis made of a matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy that is 1000 times smaller than typical metals.Head Stabilizereliminates racquet vibration and ensures the ultimate in comfort on every shot.Head LMS (Longer Main String) design lowers the bridge section to create a larger hitting surface without making the racquet any larger. The Metallix 4 is a more control-oriented option to the Metallix 6 and Metallix 10, yet still offers ample power and stability. Surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00.

Prince O3 Speedport PLATINUM Tennis Racquet The Prince O3 Speedport Platinum continues the use of the more aerodynamic square-shaped O-Ports that generates a livelier response across the entire string bed, but now with new technologies such as the Strung-Thru-Stringing System and Speedport Shaft for added power and stability.

The O3 Speedport Platinum features a 70% larger sweetspot than traditionally-strung racquets. With a Prince Power Level of 1700, the O3 Speedport Platinum has the highest level of power ever offered in a Prince racquet. Adjustable dampening feel thanks to a dampener that can be moved up and down the main strings at the throat. Extremely generous sweetspot and very maneuverable (thanks fo the 27.5 inch length) at the net as well. Overall, the O3 Speedport Platinum remains one of the best all-around game improvement racquets for a beginning to intermediate player with a slow to moderate swing speed.

Volkl - Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus Tennis Racket w/ Free Stringing Volkl is proud to embrace the many accolades given over the past years to the legendary C10 Pro - realizing that an improvement was not only possible, but also needed for today’s game. With this in mind, as well as respecting those players who believed that the C10 Pro was their personal “Holy-Grail”, Volkl is proud to introduce the next “Legend” to the tennis world - Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus. The biggest difference between the Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus and the Tour 10 V-Engine Mid Plus can be found in the throat area. The Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus remains traditional looking in this region. By doing so, the “soft” / “flexible” / “feel” remains for those players longing for that special feel of yesterday’s racquets but having today’s technology enhancements for greater performance. Let there be no confusion! The Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus is a serious racquet designed only for the serious player who demands the ultimate in today’s technology combined with the traditional feel of yesterday. Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 5.0-7.0 NTRP level players. Dynamic PCP: Power Control Pattern: The dense string pattern in the racquet’s sweetspot ensures that power is controllable. Balls hit outside the sweetspot maintain optimal power and comfort thanks to the more open string bed. Sensor Tour Handle System: Includes a two part racquet shaft and TechnoGel surrounded by EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). This is visible technology you can actually see through the butt cap of the racquet. Designed to dampen vibration without sacrificing touch. Free Stringing Included: We will string this racquet for you at the manufacturer’s recommended tension using Wilson Stamina 16g synthetic gut at no cost.
