This is a Beautiful , Yonex RDX 500 used racket, with no cover, not played very much, I playtested it about 20 times but decided to stick to my midplus. Structurally intact , but paint has chipped in many places. (I counted about 20 different places, with paint defects, not deep cracks or bashes from playing, my 5 year old son has been knocking about with a tennis ball.) .Has brand new Luxillon supersense 16 strings, strung at 27 Kg.Also has lead tape on the head to extend the sweetspot..So despite the poor cosmetics I thoroughly recommend this racket, take a chance, it will not let you down.If you have not played a YONEX before it will be a whole different experience!!! (Carefull with the new models!They are very stiff!)If you are used to a stiff racquet (as I am) the soft flexy feel of this one might be quite a change. Personally my arm and elbow didn't mind the change. If you hit high on the stringbed, as I do, you might really enjoy the RDX headshape. The ball seems to dwell a little longer at the tip of the racquet providing a little more control and ability to curl the ball and find short angles. Also, despite being a midsize this racquet seems to have a sweetspot more like a 98 or 100 inch racquet. The only thing I would change is adding a little weight to the head and stringing tighter, as this generated a little more power than needed occasionally on my forehand. Overall a great racquet.LEIGHTON HEWIT won the OPEN and WIMBLEDON with this racket !!!!Yonex RDX 500 Mid | Head Size: | 90 sq. in. / 581 sq. cm. |
