Default Babolat: Graphite/Kevlar has been replaced with Graphite/Tungsten?

I have used the Pro Staff with the "Graphite/Kevlar" material

When I run the following search,

http://www.racquetfinder.com/?name=r...price=&x=0&y=0

It lists the composition as "Graphite/Kevlar".

But when I click on the details it is listed as "Graphite/Tungsten".

At some point, did Babolat replace the Graphite/Kevlar with Graphite/Tungsten on all its Roddick and Storm models?

Yes trhey did, and I for one, am sorry they did so. IMHO the Kev/Graph blend is tops (by a mile)! To me it was a completely different feel, more solid, better touch, etc.

How recently did Babalot make the swicth from Graph/Kevlar to Graph/Tungsten?

Might a "Pure Drive Roddick" from 2 or 3 years ago have the Kevlar?
