Comments: Great stick. Transitioned to this after using my Wilson K-Factor Six.One Team 95 (18x20) and my Wilson BLX Six.One Team (pretty much same specs) for about 3 years. After deciding that I wanted more topspin without adding too much weight (I'm not the tallest player, about 5'2). I'm an advanced junior, favoring light rackets with lots of spin potential and a small head size. This racket was beyond perfect. My first 2 hours hitting with it, no problem. No aches or pains, no soreness in the arms/wrists/forearms, and I was hitting better than I usually did. The open string pattern really helps me generate spin and keep good depth, even on the running shots and half-volleys. Ground strokes were easily executed, and I could alternate between a kicking topspin to a low drive (usually they almost looked identical until the bounce). Slices and drop-shots became a threat, kicking off to the sides or towards the net. The frame isn't the most forgiving, but it does allow for off-center shots. Volleys were crisp and deep, serves were exaggerated with the open string pattern. Topspin serves were higher, slices were easier placed. Some cons, though, would have to be the lack of power on my serve. Usually, my flat serves were... well, flat. Just straight flat. With this racket, though, there was always a bit of spin, no matter how flat I seemed to hit. The pace of the ball didn't seem to go down too much, and I got more control and consistency- but the power lacked. All in all, I don't plan on switching any time soon. Probably going to buy 3, if not 4 more through the next year.

Comments: Wow this racquet is amazing. I am an advanced junior player and I was looking for a racquet to play better than my Wilson K Factor that sailed on me way to much and I have found it. I have a fast swing so the 95 square inch head size and 16x18 string pattern allowed me to hit as hard as I want with great control and it will stay in. Great job Yonex!

Comments: At first, I had a difficult time adjusting to the smaller head size, but now I'd never go back. I love the shape of the Yonex racquets and again, I may never switch over again. I now have found the tool that's taken my backhand to another level and my favorite part about this racquet is returning serve. Never have I utilized a part of my game into such a weapon...it's just great. Definitely worth a try if you need something that lets you play to your fullest potential.

Comments: I just bought it and I like it but the power is lacking but I’m strong enough to generate my own power if your not a hard hitter don't waist your time.

Comments: I absolutely love this racquet! I didn't even make a demo and I'm addicted to it. If my shot execution and swing motion is on time, I can direct the ball everywhere on court. I like the comfortable feeling and the flexibility of the shaft, which adds to the great touch. I'm also surprised by its stability. I can aggressively return first and second serves without any trouble. I think I struck the jackpot... Thanks, Yonex!!!

Comments: I had the sister racket, the normal RQiS 1, and found myself getting more sore in my shoulder than usual, so I decided to check out the light version of it, and I so good with it. It's got the same kind of specifications and playability of the heavier racket, but it puts it in a package that's easier to generate your own pace with. If you're a fan of the heavier version of this racket, but feel like you couldn't generate pace at all, give this one a go because it'll give you the exact same feel, but you'll be able to swing faster, generating more pace and spin.

Comments: This is one of the best racquets I have ever used. Control oriented and just enough power. Negatives: Could use few more grams of weight and it is a bit more flexible.

Comments: Lighter and more maneuverable than standard, had lots of fun hitting with the demo from Tennis Warehouse. Loved the spin. Little weak on serves though, but solved once you get used to it.

Comments: Demoed this racquet & found it to be too light for my liking. I usually play with a Yonex RDX 500 MPm which weighs about 11.8 oz. & has a swingweight of 315. I felt like I couldn't control this racquet because it was so light & I was spraying balls. It had nice pop at the net but didn't like it on groundies or serves.

Comments: Great racket! It is great substitute for my previous very good (but little bit heavy for me - I am 47 years old) Volkl Tour 10 MP. This frame has good power and even control, excellent spin and maneuverability. Super quality made in Japan!

Comments: Well, the first time I used it, it was not that powerful, letting me generate my own power. Then I got more used to it and I love it..it's a good racquet for people who can generate their own power..over a 9/10..

Comments: This has really nice feel and control, but you have to hit with topspin to hit hard and have control with it.
From: Anon. 9/08

Comments: This frame is excellent for those who want to add a little weight with the lead. I added enough so that it weighed in around 11.5 as opposed to 11.0. For me, a 12 ounce frame is pushing it but 11.5-7 is perfect. Anyway, this frame is very similar to the RQiS Tour, minus the extra weight. So it is ideal for lead mods, all fans of the tour should definitely give the light a hit, maybe throw on some lead...

Comments: In Japan, we call this the ul version. It’s a pretty sweet racket (my coach in Japan let me use it) I use the normal version but this version is perfect for those who like the lighter tour style rackets with a wicked sweet paint job.
