The racquet of choice for touring pro Ana Ivanovic, the RQ iS 1 Tour offers tremendous feel and control. At just under 12 ounces and 9 points headlight, this stick makes a nice option for a solid hitting player with strong, full strokes. The swingweight is quite manageable yet offers enough heft for plenty of stability through the hitting zone. With a 95 square inch head, there is an ample sweetspot with lots of comfort. Our team found this racquet to be a precision oriented stick from the baseline. The open string pattern offers excellent access to spin, and we found lots of action on both topspin and slice shots. When at net, the RQ iS 1 Tour has a soft, controlled feel yet offers enough pop to put away volleys. When serving, we found good consistency with a solid combination of placement and spin. An extra long grip provides added comfort and convenience for two-handed strokes. Best suited to 4.5+ level players.
