Comments: The only Yonex frame I had hit with before this that I've cared for was the RD-7 so I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I tried this frame. The RDiS 200 lite was more in line with the specs I prefer as of late so I included it in my most recent demo shipment from TW. Unfortunately I am very disappointed, this frame just felt sluggish to me on ground strokes with my normal style of play. I don't know if it's the Yonex head shape or what but I just could not seem to generate the same kind of racquet head speed with it as I can most frames. It played like a much thicker beamed racquet to me. I found myself hitting a much flatter ball and having to constantly adjust my game to get any court penetration. On the positive side it served pretty nicely for me but that was the only positive for me. The standard weight RDiS 200 might address some of my complaints as I think a bit more weight and a more head light balance might help this stick some.

Comments: Made a switch from Head Microgel Radical and could not be happier with the results. Got my serving grove back, this stick give more power and better bite from the 16x18 string pattern. Also feels much softer than the radical even with the higher stiffness rating. Great racquet for aging weekend warrior like me.

Comments: This racquet is much better after adding 10 grams of lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock on the hoop. Before that the racquet didn't feel very stable. however, it changes the balance to almost even though. Overall, I really like it but it doesn't have anywhere near the control of the RDX 500 90.

Comments: Absolute beauty. Great weight. Nice feel. Flex. Power. Best racket I ever used. I've had APDC and Youtek speed etc…this one is so much easier to play with. I hit topspin and it's great. And flat works as good. Just light enough to whip but heavy enough to plow. Get it and enjoy it. I played good straight from the day I bought it. Changed to poly strings and oh yes baby. Beat my regular partner easy. Just moved him everywhere. Love it and am looking to buy 2nd one

Comments: Nice racquet for an old baseliner whose knees have limited him to only doubles. I have been searching for 15 months for a lighter player's racquet that had similar qualities to a baseliner's frame - I used to play with the Kneissl White Star Twin in the late 80s & early 90s and then the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1. Have used several Babolat frames over the past 8 years. This RDiS 200 Lite frame provides a very solid feel with the ground strokes and returns. In addition, I can get some extra pop on my serves, and the head lightness of the frame allows for quick responses at the net. The string pattern does enhance my ability to place extra topspin on my ground strokes. Definitely worth a look if you are starting to gray but want to have that old school solid feel when you hit the ball.

Comments:Is there gonna be a TW review on the RDiS 200 lite?
From: Anon, 07/10
(We currently do not have any plans to review this racquet.--TW Staff)

Comments: This is a great and well-balanced racket. I tried other rackets (including Wilson BLX Pro Open; Prince EXO3 Black, EXO3 White; and the heavier 320 gram version of the RDiS 200 Midplus) but this Yonex racket gives me the best control and feel. I switched the grip to Prince's ResiPro, which is the best grip I've ever used. I tend to hit with a bit of a slice and this racket is great at that but it also handles flat hits very well. This Yonex racket has improved my game noticeably and is easy on my arm. I like that Yonex is made in Japan and not China like everything else. I finally found the racket for me. Love it!

Comments: After playing with this racquet for about 30 min. I think even with bad demo strings the racquet has nice flex and really good control. It weight 315g without over-grip and dampener. Balance is about 32cm. For me it feels way too light and it's hard to handle heavy topspin with this frame. Didn't try the heavier version yet, it might be a way to go. (I don't like Yonex racquet at all, but this one is not that bad.)
