Yonex RQiS 1 Tour Tennis Racquet The Yonex RQiS Tour 1 is used by Lleyton Hewitt and is the latest player’s racquet offering from Yonex. Remains a control frame for the advanced player looking for stability and manuverability in a player-oriented package. A sequel to the popular Yonex RDS 001 and RDX 500, the RQiS Tour 1 still provides control and predictability, with a very traditional feel. 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. Elastic Ti overcomes the limitations of conventional frame materials. With its powerful rebound effect, a split second after impact and deflection, the Elastic Ti frame snaps back to its original shape with high accuracy and with the full energy of the swing.

Prince Ozone Tour Tennis Racquet The Prince Ozone Tour is the latest update to the Prince O3 Tour and is the first true players offering in the Prince Ozone racquet line (being used in 2008 by Davydenko.) Thanks to the use of O-Ports around the perimeter of the frame, the Ozone Tour has a livelier response than typical players racquets across the entire string bed. Prince enhances the sweetspot with Carbon Wave Matrix Construction, in which Prince layers the graphite fibers in a wave pattern. This wave pattern complements the angular orientation of the other graphite layers, offering superior power versus traditional graphite construction techniques.

With a 100 square inch head size, 11.5 oz. strung weight and a more spin-friendly 16×18 string pattern, the Ozone Tour is one of the most versatile options in the Prince line series. A solid choice for the intermediate to advanced player with a moderate to fast swing speed.

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.

Wilson [K] Tour Tennis Racquet What’s the difference between winning and losing? Wilson boils it down to one word: [k]ontrol.

Customer Review: Best of the best….
The new Wilson Tour 90 is one of the finest rackets made today, best control and precision on the market. You need to manufacture your own power and the sweet spot is small. However, the ball absolutely goes where it is aimed. I have used the Kevlar 85 for 15 years because there was no better racket on the market, until now.

Wilson Nano Carbon Tour Tennis Racket The Wilson Nano Carbon Tour tennis racquet features a revolutionary molecular matrix of high modulus graphite fibers and Nano-sized Silicon Dioxide crystals. This exclusive matrix is strategically positioned at key torsional stress points along the frame for maximum strength and stabiity.
Customer Review: Great for beginners and recreational players
I recently began to play tennis regularly and needed a suitable racquet. I initially chose this racquet because of the oversized head. When I first picked it up I noticed how light it was. I have practiced for over four hours at a time and have never had any fatigue from using this racquet.
