A Yonex Carbonex 8, Medium weight which is 396 grams. Brings absolute hell to the ball. It's ridiculous how powerful that thing is.

Main racquet (until they got destroyed, surprise surprise) was a Mega Age M2 with a 4 3/4 grip and weighed around 355 grams. Tried whipping every ball with it and now my shoulder hates me.

Currently on a 355 gram Max200G which actually is easier on my shoulder. Don't ask me how!

Footnote, I have a 16-year old friend whose racquets hover around 380. Same friend slapped on around 60 grams of lead on a Mantis 300 and the same on a Pure Drive when his Mantis sticks weren't available.

17 ounce Dunlop Revelation Tour Pro.

The highest SW racquet that I currently own are a pair of tgk260.2s with Berdych specs.

Default Jack Kramer Autograph

Learned to play with this classic wood racket as a skinny kid. I believe it is nearly 15 oz strung.

Not shocking that I don't pay too much attention to current players wondering how I can play with such a heavy frame (12 oz) now. Its a feather compared to the Jack.

What racket are you getting next? That racket weighs 11.2oz, which is pretty light/average compared to real rackets.

I like my racket because it stands out from the rest. it also unique to my playing style and almost everyone can't use it.
