At 165 g unstrung and with a square head (Quadraform), it has a larger, more centered sweet spot, which helps consistency and forgiveness on off-center balls. It keeps the 13 mm head-heavy balance and the same 3K, M40 and T-700 carbon construction as the 170, but is quicker in the hand for returning serves and exchanging shots near the wall.
