I don't know what's considered OS but it certainly feels just like a 100. Feels very similar to the Exo3 Tour 100 18 x 20 actually except much lighter.

I'd call 104 sqin an oversize, but it's debatable. 100 is mid+, 107 is OS, 104 - whatever you want, but since Mid+ goes all the way down to 95 sqin, most people would call 104 an oversize.

I agree it looks as though she is now using the Blade 104, a very underrated racquet in my opinion, used to sell plenty of those in the shop, very easy to hit.

I'd say switching away from full gut might have helped her too, how you'd control full gut in a bigger headed racquet without stringing stupidly tight I have no idea.

That's because she did. I'd have to do something but IIRC she would go as high as 65 with all gut. I realize it's not that high, but that's very very high. I think the poly is better for her anyway. I definitely think she puts more spin on the ball now than ever, and it helps a lot.

isn't 102-105 consider a super mid?

on tv her head always looks smaller than 104 inch to me maybe a custom 101
