All I know is it is definitely heavier than Stock Wilson prostaff 2012. SW is supposed to be in 340-350 range.

Default Photos of Grigor's rackets

Here are a couple of photos of Grigor's rackets taken in June 2012.





If anyone has any queries on his stringing requirements, then let me know.

But adding string you to 344g and the SW would likely be 368ish. (you're right that static is lower than I would have thought but the SW is a monster)

Interesting that he's near even balance when strung at 33.9cm or so while Joker is roughly the same SW but with balance of 32.8cm.
