Bob thats awesome man. So the racquet is 13 points headlight..or did I miscalculate?
I'm not surprised it is so light..I am just amazed at the string tension in such a stiff racquet.

Is it as stiff as a regular pure drive?

Nice get! Are you going to hit with it or do you want to keep it "mint" (it's used already)?
For those who are wondering, 13 inches = 4 points HL EDIT: I forgot it's an extended racquet so make that 6 points HL Last edited by [d]ragon : 08-16-2010 at 11:52 AM. |

Hmmmm according to my math it is 5 pts hl? AFAIK: - 305mm is 12pts and - 315mm is 9pts hl According to this, 330mm would be 5pts hl on extended frame? |

Bob, it should be 6 points HL
The middle point of a 27.5 racquet is 13.75 minus 13= .75 inches 1 inch = 8 points so .75 x 8= 6 points HL |

Very nice catch BobFL ... and it's the older PJ.
BTW-- It looks as if you live on a golf-course? Please let us know how the racquet plays... I remember reading that you actually own/played with the consumer version... is that correct? Should be interesting comparing the two.

Frankly speaking I do not like this "new wave" paint jobs with the "rainbow" letters that can be found on Youtek Prestiges, BLXs, GTs...I do have PDR GT Standard BUT my dear friend 'dgoran' has swirlys and pre-cortex PDs and he is cloning this setup so we can test drive them tomorrow (weather permitting)... |

Once again amazing catch...
Just as I suspected for a long time I believe that we confirmed it (based on a quick beam measurements) that its swirly mold doe to its 1mm thicker beam in the throat area. Pure Drive Team (non-swirly) has 1 mm thinner throat thus in my experiments in the past it plays softer than swirly. Cant wait till tomorrow. Like Bob said top 10 for last 10 yrs with 345gr racket GASP .
