I bought a RQT to have in my arsenal of demos. I did not play tennis competitively, I don't hit a "twoey", double BH, I don't play a lot of singles, and I don't need extra reach because I'm 6'5" tall and have been called an albatross and a condor. I love the RQT!!! The face looks smaller, but when you lay it on the Freestyle paddle, you can see that the face is not significantly smaller. The control is great, and it is not only my preferred paddle for singles, but also for doubles. The longer handle produces more leverage/whip especially on my serves, and I can get tremendous top spin. I have specifically shared it with former tennis players who love it. Including my son in Southern California who is frustrating his opponents with his powerful double BH on his returns. Thanks to Brett Warner for this insightful design.

Been playing and teaching for over 10 years. Was a hard core believer/user of another major brand. That paddle had a larger width which provides more control but you sacrifice power. A hit disperses and absorbs the power over the overall paddle face. With the RQT, with the smaller paddle face, the power stays with the ball. The longer handle as a number of advantages. You get more whip/snap in the shot which also adds to the power. It also provides more room for the two handed player. With two hands on a backhand you also get more power and better direction. Two hand backhand is becoming the norm. However, this is definitely not a paddle for a beginner.

Absolutely love this paddle, great feel, control, and more importantly POWER!!!

Bought this paddle a couple weeks back and just got out onto the court to play. Amazing feel and super light paddle with lots of power. 10/10 recommend.

Not bad but not great. The grip is really poor quality and the grit seems just so-so. The paddle cover is terrible.
