How do I get a Yonex Tennis Sponsorship?
But first of all, I don’t even have a yonex racket, and need to choose one. I tried out one, and it seemed great, better than babolat to me. I also haven’t entered any tournaments or anything, but now I want to start. So how do I get ranked and get a sponsorship? And what’s better, Yonex RDS 003 or RQiS tour?
But if I have a Yonex Sponsorship, don’t I get free yonex stuff? And the racket that won that game was the RDS 003 2008, but that one costs a lot more. Should I buy the 2008 version or the older one? I’m not amazingly good yet, so I’m going to start out with the RDS 003.

just keep sporting EVERYTHING, and i mean everything yonex–shoes, grips, racquets, bags, clothing, etc. just make sure when you’re out playing matches and stuff, and ones that are sponsored, by anyone–just be yonex-supportive.
it sounds hard choosing between the rqis and 003. i’m using the rqis 1 tour right now, and it feels heavy on my arm sometimes, but it is very very control oriented and feels amazing serving with, and hitting volleys.
groundstrokes were alright. the only downside was it really shows and tells how you play–in other words–if you feel bad, the rqis tour will really stand out and show that you’re not feeling well by not playing well or hitting mis-hits or shanks or something. slice was good, though.
i havent used the 003–but i want that one so much more right now! lol
zheng jie used it to beat number one ana ivanovic this year at wimbledon–ana was number 1, zheng was number 138! amazing. she devastated ana with her power–and ana used the rqis tour, so here’s a nice little vid that shows you the difference between the two!

[zheng uses the 003, the chinese player, ana's the other one, with the rqis tour]

Did you get sponsored by babolat?
If you did, you should ask for a transfer of a diffrent racket. Just write a letter.
If you haven’t, you should play tournaments until you are ranked top 30 nationally.
