Yonex RD Ti 70 Long

I am able to get couple of Yonex RD Ti Long racquets in 7.5 condition and i am really happy with them.

I need to string one of them and waiting for my Strings to arrive from TW.

I had a hitting session and though this is the first time i played with a Yonex racquet (Box shaped head) i didn't notice any difference and i had good control over all my shots.

The one played with weighed 361gm and the unstrung one weighed  ~345gm.  These racquets are 27.5in long (half inch longer than the standard length which is 27 inch).

Here are the pics.














and it seems this racquet is discontinued and is hard to find.
