    I have never tried hi-qua rackets but i know that they use stickers for ti-mesh while RSL actually has a real ti-mesh.

    RSL is good. Good Panda . . . Panda good :D:D:D

    X2 Gold is a beast: the ultimate replacement for the old version Ti-10 :D.

    I am now in the process of deciding whether buying RSL Firepower 8000 or Aztec pro 850. I saw dinkalot racket review, he said Aztec pro 850 was an excellent racket; but i could not find review for RSL firepower 8000. The price is not much different. I could not find RSL X2 gold nor blue in here. So far i just find RSL in 1 store only.

    What do you guys think about these two rackets?
    Initially i plan to buy Yonex AT900T and i find that it is very expensive, and i plan to look for different brand with similar quality.
    Guys do you have any suggestion?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Both RSL's are good. And its not so expensive. Am using two RSL models and both suits me fine. The X2 i strung it at 28lbs and the RSL Heat 7160 at 25lbs. I guess we all know that our game does not depend on the racket but i also understand that comfortability is also a factor.

    look for Hi-qua rackets, they are extremly good, for example: Nano DYnamic 8282, you can feel the power =D (but cant see the bird after you smash it XD)

    RSL > Hi-Qua IMO.

    RSL = Originality in their products, Take pride in their effort to produce high-quality equipment, worth the price you pay for, etc etc!

    Hi-Qua racquets aren't that bad either, but some ignorant, gullible people may easily be convinced that the Hi-Qua racquet you are using, is a cloned/fake Yonex racquet. ie: Yonex AT800OF and Hi-Qua ArmorAce 950 OFF.

    Haha, why am I going so off-topic ?

    there are some rackets which you can not get from the stores, for example, nanodynamic 8282. is extremly good. The only way to get the top Hi-qua rackets is to go to the factory and buy them(which you can't), only some coaches are allow to buy them, therefore, you can only buy them from coaches. in the end, i believe Hi Qua rackets are better than RSL.

    The Nanodynamic 8282 may as well be an awesome racquet as you've stated. But what is the point of reccomending this, if most people can't get their hands on it ?
    RSL or Yonex may even have special 'extremely good' prototype racquets as well, but obviously it is not available for the majority of people. Please be logical with your statements. HiQua racquets do not necessary mean that they are better then RSL racquets just because one of their products are 'extremely good'. Haha you know what, RSL racquets are 'extremely good' as well :D.. We can't say that one is better than another, without having a fair comparison..

    Ironhide is not looking for an 'extremely good' racquet that is really hard to get his hands on. He is looking for a good RSL racquet.

    Just got my RSL X2 Blue last week with Yonex 65Ti @ 25LB. I was mainly using AT700 old model and Gosen 5700, same string and tension. Compare to this 2 rackets, the X2 Blue is just so easier to get hold on it and gives fast, nice respones. It gives you much power and better contorl at the same time.
    Well, nothing much to say, It's just a Great sll-around racket!
