As I recall from Budge's explanation, his racquet was a standard sized, middle range, men's racquet in the 30's. If you do some digging and look for Suzanne Lenglen's racquet, you'll see it looks very much the same. It may be lighter, I don't know, but, probably heavier than any stock frame available today.
