rsl heat ti 4900 vs mp 28

RSL 4900 in all aspects . . . not even close!

 

Concur wholeheartedly. The 4900 is one of the best all-around rackets you can buy and one of my top three for bang-for-the-buck at $125 retail, $100 street price.

 

The new 7490 is supposedly an incarnation of the 4900. Does it play the same?

 

Nope, unless I tested the wrong racket. The 7490 is much more endloaded.

 

I think I will stop thinking and just get one.

 

I prefer the 4900; tried, true and proven.

 

Hi DinkAlot!

I have been using the 4900 before but I find it difficult for smashing and doing dropshots from the baseline. Now I bought a 7490 and it solved a lot of my problems. One thing I really like about the 4900 is that it's a great defensive racket. Can you share more of your experiences on the 4900?

 

Hi! It is around P3850 at Toby's and badminton hub.

 

Again, it's a great all-around racket. Difficult for smashing, I can see but dropshots? That's not the racket, that's probably your swing. But then again, everyone swings different and the 7490 is (obviously) more suited to your swing.

 

Thanks DinkAlot! I guess you are right that it's in my swing. I sometimes use my old 4900 and I'm still amaze of its defensive attributes since I can swing it faster than my new 7490.

 

I do not recommend the Millennium 5 series since they are not durable. Try the new Millennium 7 instead.

 

For a thin string: BG66

For a medium string: BG80

For a thick string: MP or BG65, BG-70

 

i'm using the new RSL Lt70 strings on my old 4900 at 26 lbs.
