It is 170 g unstrung, 22 inches, with head-heavy balance and a 14x19 string pattern on a square head that enlarges the usable area. The redesigned throat increases torsional stiffness and absorbs impact better, and the 3K carbon with T700 gives a dampened feel. It is a powerful, stable racquet, with more forgiveness than the teardrop versions.
