Although a 16x19, it has a different string pattern than the aero. Also, is one piece, meaning there is no hair pin. Rather than have a pallet that is added to the frame to give the shape to the grip, there is no pallet. The hair pin is actually shaped like a grip.

Does it play like a stiff, not arm friendly Babolat?

XL, does that indicate it is an extended length?

The hair pin is what is under the pallet.

Nothing pro stock about this one as far as I know. Maybe they all come from same place after all? I attached a pic.


As you could see in the photo above, it is thinner than the rest of the frame. In the case of the Genesis frame, the hair pin is molded to be the shape of the pallet.
