Racquet Summary

New 2008 model in matt finish.

The RDS Series continues to use the ISOMETRIC square head shape to give it a 10% larger sweet spot than conventional round head shape racquets. Another feature in the "RDS" racquets is the soft grommets located at the four courners of the frame. These grommets are designed to reduce the shock from any off-centre hits, widening the sweet spot still further.

This racquet also uses Elastic Ti which is the worlds first nano-scale alloy that combines extremely low elasticity and extremely high strength. It was previously thought to be impossible to achieve this with an alloy. "Elastic Ti" has 44% lower elasticity and 8% higher strength compared to the previous best Titanium alloy. Racquets featuring Elastic Ti will snap-back quicker than conventional racquets to give higher repulsion power with accurate resiliency for improved face stability.

Used by Lleyton Hewitt (Mid), David Nalbandian (Midplus) & Elena Dementieva (Midplus).
