    Hi,

    Calling all Yonex ISO-800 Tour fans out there.

    What would be the closest Yonex racket to the classic ISO-800 Tour racket today?

    Cheers,
    Cory

    Maybe the ARC7.

    You should stick with the ISO800T.. it's a great racquet.. or sell it to me ;;

    Winex has their SQ 800, which I've been using for years. Just a tad longer, comparable overall weight and head heavy

    Ti10, arc10? It seemed to me that they all are good all round rackets.

    Still have my beloved ISO800Tour in the closet. I base my new racket purchases all on the ISO800Tour.

    The closest that I can recall was the nanospeed 9000 type-s (2006). Nowadays, you may try a Nanospeed 9900. I myself bought a Gosen Roots 5700 as its replacement. The feel is close but is a slightly heavier racket. Considering an Armortec 700 limited at the moment (old but still a good racket in the market).

    Thank you guys. I ended up with an ARC-10 so that I could play singles and doubles with it. Still trying to get used to it though since it's a 3U - lighter than 2U. I hope one day Yonex will re-issue the ISO-800 Tour like it did for CAB-20 and CAB-21.
