Hi ed70, I am about to get a TC 97 with 310 grams (leather grip) and 315 mm balnace point, exactly the same as your, and would like to know how you feel about it, and how to you compare it with commmercial brands models. I tested a TC 100 with 300 grams, RA70 and 310 mm and didn't like ike, bad golfers and tennis elbow with hybrids.
