I believe the M10 series shd be good as well, 800, 900, anyone tried?

hi rawtiger! how much did you bought your X2 blue? is that diamond millennium 7 SP? they are selling it here for RM 199.00 racket only same price with PRO and FP. wondering if its original.

thanks for the info rawtiger. is rm 199.00 a good buy for M7 Diamond X2 SP racket only? maybe thats the reason its cheap because its phased out already? im just worried its fake.

In my experience, X2 Diamond Blue is Good, never tried the X2 SP, as it is a different model, DinkAlot give "Good" rating (check: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...-Racket-Review)

I guess it is fair deal, if genuine.

What would you RSL users say is the 'classic' model to have in your bag? One that is a great all-rounder.

I'm currently thinking the X2 Blue might be a good one to have, what do you think?

Based on my ring of players' feedback, YES! it is very good.
I tried Yonex Arc-10, Ti-10, NS8000, I can say these probably marginally batter only.

**Maklike Tier** · 06-24-2010, 03:36 AM

it's not as good as an Arc10???

**rawtiger** · 06-24-2010, 11:13 PM

For me, Arc 10 is better, yes

**Maklike Tier** · 06-24-2010, 11:20 PM

Well then, little point buying an X2 Blue then huh.

***drifit*** · 06-25-2010, 12:18 AM

X2 Blue is 4U
Arc10 is either 3U or 2U

Arc10 will better for power and control due to stiffer shaft and heavier racket/head.

little point to buy X2 Blue? Acr10 cost 2.5 times more expensive.
there will be little point for me to buy Camry than Porsche then.

**Maklike Tier** · 06-25-2010, 12:29 AM

Well no, here in Australia the X2 is AUD175 and Arc10 is 205.

**rawtiger** · 06-25-2010, 12:49 AM

Looks like X2 is overpriced there in AUS.
Well, the "U" no may also have affected my eval, come to think of it now.. Got to do re-check..
But then again, here in Msia, we don't have many choices of "U" for same models, anyone has a different experience?

**Maklike Tier** · 06-25-2010, 02:01 AM

Okay, well looks like the X2 isn't the 'classic' RSL, so what is?

You guys aren't selling the idea of buying an RSL very well!

**vernonmaxel** · 06-25-2010, 04:02 AM

just bought the Diamond X2 SP. I will try it on sunday

I'm gonna say there are no "classic" racket. Everyone has a different playing style. X2 Blue and X2 Gold are my least used rackets because both are too stiff for me (they are there for my collection purposes tho I'm missing X2 PRO in my collection). My goto racket is a X2 FP (yellow) because I like the light weight. X2 SP (baby blue) is my next racket, then the X2 AP. Love those light flex rackets

I also liked the Nova 6180. 6900 was weird for me because the flex and the head heaviness threw me off. Tried my friend's 6800 and it was pretty nice. Also had an old style think it was a 25th anniversary racket, oval shaped, super flex (i can bend it at least 45 degrees from the middle) was what started me off on RSL rackets (they just don't make flex rackets like the used to). If you want stiff rackets, go Yonex, I have found none of them to be flexible enough, which is why i went RSL. But that's my style and not everyone matches because i know people that love the x2 blue.
