RSL X2 Gold? Blue?

[Hierkommtnils]

Hi,
has anyone tested the new limited RSL rackets X2 Gold or X2 Blue?
Im interested in your opinions...

[skyeast]

X2 BLUE，Medium hardness.In the balance of 290 mm.For a quick-play, and that control placement is a good racket.

[Hierkommtnils]

ok, thanks...

... but I am more interested in "Gold". I think it is more similar to my X2 Pro

290MM = EVEN BALANCE OR LIGHT BALANCE ? SORY TO ASK COZ I M NOT SURE ABOUT THE BALANCE MEASUREMENT. NEED YOUR CLARIFY & I THINK THIS RACKET SUIT FOR DOUBLES RIGHT?

[drifit]

these 2 only will be available starting March/April 2008, 2nd quarter.
aiming the blue one.......:D:D:D looking at the specs

[wakloo69]

Me too....X2 Blue as my next weapon. Hopefully it will suit my need. Any idea/info how much the price?

[Pete LSD]

Is it available in Canada yet?

I found out an unstrung x2 gold is much more heavy feel (overall) compare to a strung x2 Pro.. NO JOKE.

[Pete LSD]

That sounds juicy! How stiff is the shaft? Is it as stiff as the NS-9000 X?

I don't think so. because it is an unstrung racquet.

Dear all brothers,

I have a 2hrs- game by using X2 Blue, my 1st impression of the different in between YY VS RSL is --> The stiffness and the vibration of the central frame, I don't know why, may be YY have the "Built-in T joint" technology, the X2 have a slightly vibration when I have smashing.

The stiffness of X2 is also out of my expectation ---> NOT stiff as what I expected, I just think it's level of stiff is just ONLY similar AT900T :(
The drawback is, reduce smash power.

But don't be upsad, due to it's balance condition and the stiff level, my backhand have a great improvement! And it's flexibility is good for energy saving!!!!
Also it's smashing sound is amasing!! Just like a metal crash~

In Sum, the flexibility and the performance of X2 is really great, only have a little bit vibration and moderate smashing power (I dont' know if it's the common problem in RSL / other rackets cause of no Built-in T joint)

Please put your comment on this Racket!

Hi guys,
I found RSL X2 gold is a pretty head heavy and stiff racket. Weight is in 2U category.Played for a couple of times and found it is good for smashing. A beastly racket, good for attacking but a bit slow in defence. When compared to my Nanospeed 9000X, 3U G4, RSL X2 gold provides a more aggression in attack. NS9000X is slightly easy to maneuvre quicker in defence.;) Weight of NS9000X is in 3U category.:p I have not try a RSL X2 Blue yet, so cant comment on this.

I had it only for 2 weeks and I fell in love with it. Its all around control together with a Yonex 68ti string works well. Sadly the frame shattered on me to controlled Smash. Heard a shattering sound look at at my racket. It shatteres into 3 parts:crying:. Strings are intact. I felt heart broken.I have ordered 2 RSL Blue after that incident. According to RSL its coming 2 months.


Try to find out about Gold its for attack and defense. Which doesn't contour my game.

Wait till you see the new Millenium 9 X3! Beautiful.

[Baddicter]

RSL Gold is a very ruthless piece of attack for a racquet. Smashes are solid and can't be returned. Defense its a maneurable. Apart for a bad shoulder its a intimidating weapon. Once you get used to it. Its like an Armotec 700 Ltd. less of its price.

[sportsaddict]

So true, I tried on court and it delivered very steep and powerful smashes. You have to be very fast and well, good just to answer those sharp hits. The new RSL X3 can deliver much better. Thrice!

[Baddicter]

May X3 na ba sa Pinas?

[bluecraze07]

I just bought the X2 Blue today. Haven't had a chance to string her up and try her out yet. But it looks very nice. Does anyone have more information on the X3's?

[Pete LSD]

Any photos of the X3? and specs?

[jerby]

Tadaaaaa!

Hi guys. I will be buying RSL Millenium 8 Diamond x2 Blue (US$128) tomorrow. I'm supposed to buy a Carlton Powerblade 9902 or Powerblade Tour for a cheap price (US$45 or US$64, respectively), but they ran out of stocks. (It's cheap because they're selling all items before closing down, as there will be no more distributors of Carlton in the Philippines.)

The truth is, after hearing that Carlton's are no longer available, I immediately looked for Yonex rackets. I was eyeing MP-99 (US$189), MP-100 (US$211), Ti-10 (US$189), or Acrsaber 10 (US$226), but these rackets are out of my price range.

This is why I am deciding on buying RSL instead. Do you guys thinks this is worth buying? I love my Powerblade Tour so much that I am willing to buy another one. But like what I said, it's no longer available. Will RSL X2 Blue suffice enough to be a spare racket?

Your thoughts on this would be gladly appreciated. :)

[dannytomato]

after a few play i found out that RSL is very powerful..altought it may no be long lasting as Yonex but C/P of the racket is high.

[heat_9180]

I got the heat 9180 there..its just awesome!and handsome!

lol.... yeah right.

[strada]

baddicter, i just broke my heat7320..and i had been using it for only a couple of weeks (6-7 weeks). the racket is nice but im a bit sceptical about the durability.. do you think i should get another rsl? im considering x2 blue and x3 silver for the stiffer shaft...
