The slightly thicker beam width and lighter weight of this RDS model lends itself well to intermediate level play. Advanced players looking for a very maneuverable racquet offering a controlled level of power will also find lots of playability from this one. The lightweight and open string pattern makes spin easy to generate and players needn't be strong to develop plenty of racquet head speed. We found some good pop on flat serves as well as good slice and topspin when needed. Easy to get around at net, the RDS 002 is a solid choice for doubles players looking for a maneuverable racquet that packs enough pop to deal with those tough volleys from the mid-court. Well suited to players who like to hit with spin and generate fast racquet head speeds. Best suited to 3.5 to 5.0 NTRP level players.
