I have measured the Fed racquets, took a little more time and pain than I thought. One racquet has the same balance as the one belonging to Jimbo's friend, the other 3 are not too far off. Will post the pics shortly.

zorg - the Fed grip measures 11.4 cm/4.48inches (with the overgrip).

Fabfed · 10-02-2010, 07:18 AM

2008 Fed K90 - 32.4cm

2009 Fed K90 - 32.1cm

Fabfed · 10-02-2010, 07:23 AM

2009 Fed K90 - 32.2cm

2010 Fed BLX90 - 32.2cm

Great info Fabfed, looks like his grip is not that small as it may appear,
mine is 11,6 cm and i'll play a 4 1/2 and overgrip.

2010 Nadal APDGT - 33.3cm

And this is what happened after the measurements.... didn't look and stepped on the board...

So Fed is 6 pts HL strung and Nadal is 3 pts HL.

Fabfed · 10-02-2010, 07:45 AM

This is all I have... I'm tapped out. I have kept the racquets and will not be making any other measurements. Hope the balance info is useful for you guys. So as Linda Richman would say, "talk amongst yourselves", "discuss"

Thank you Fabfed
