    Hmm can't seem to find Ti88/Ti99 from the rsl racquet comparison table. Whats the stiffness rating and head balance like for both racquets? (Btw i've never seen these racquets in AJ before)

    How about Ti100, has anyone tried them out yet? Its rated as extra stiff and weigh 93-95g, i don't think i can handle such racquets yet :eek:

    RSL Fire Power Ti-99

    Length = 675mm
    Maximum string tension = 28lbs
    Lightweight (slightly heavier than Ti-88), head heavy
    Good for power strokes from its head heaviness

    Drifit, just fall in love with Ti 88. I believe it will suit my play style due to its lightweight/even balance. It just like my Carlton Powerflo 807 Wide 85g/even balance. Can you inform me what is exactly Ti88 weight? I like to buy one if still available on market.

    Hi all,

    After reading all good stuff about RSL, I am thinking of getting a RSL instead of YY. Went to see racquets yesterday, was recommended RSL 7180 and 7200 (personally prefer 7180). Has anyone tried this before? How is this compared to 6800?

    Oh yeah, I am looking for something suitable for a female double player with not much strength, more defensive playing with some smashes along the way :)

    Thank you very much for any insight.

    Thank you very much drowsysmurf.

    I did mention diamond x2 series to the shop owner, he said they were stiff racquets and wouldn't suit me. I was thinking about x2 SP (4u). Some features like Taper Shaft will help to generate some power? 7180 doesn't have that.

    Hi,

    You need to decide whether you need stiff or flexible racket:

    The more explosive swing player will benefit more of a stiffer shaft in terms of control and power. The more slower swing player will benefit more from a flexible shaft.

    Personally i think RSL not bad since i have a AP racket. SP would be suitable for you.

    Thank you chome.
    I think I need a flexible racquet, not enough strength to handle a stiff racquet.

    Sorry that I'm too lazy to go through the whole thread. Can I have an idea on the difference between X2 Pro, X2 Sp and X2 AP? Thanks :)

    Technically, the differences are their flex and weight:
    X2 Pro = Extra Stiff, 89-91g
    X2 AP = Stiff, 84-86g
    X2 FP = Medium, 79-80g
    X2 SP = Flex, 82-84g
