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

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

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

    Review of X2 Blue

    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!

    RSL X2 Gold

    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.

    Love the racket RSL X2 Blue

    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.

    Love the racket RSL X2 Gold

    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.

    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!
