I remember it being called a "Tyger (or maybe Tiger) 630" or something like that. Someone had a picture of an original one, and it looked exactly like Blakes frame

mold
it is a custom mold provided by dunlop that most closely resembles the tyger frame.
they're not available hardly anywhere and nowhere in the states.
he weights it with lead tape at 3 and 9 and in the handle.

Do we have to see the same bloody damn questions asked every month here? Why don't you search the archives? It's there.

That's the paintjob!
how come he has a custom mould, but then adds lead tape, why didn't they just make the mould have more weight there! Defetas the object for me :?

They all have either custom frames or old frames, painted to look like new models so that we buy them!
Any players racquet would be way too heavy for a normal club player!

I would not say that. I have my LM Prestige weighted at 13oz and would go higher but start to lose some head speed on serve. I have a friend with a paint shop and am going to get him to paint my Prestige green and make it look like the old green Yonex/yoniyoma sticks from the 70's. Now that was a cool racquet, except the weilds always broke on me.

Pro's racquets wouldn't be too heavy. My Classic 6.1 weighed up at 13.5 ounces for a while, and I could whack my western forehand hard, put lots of spin, hit volleys (too powerful though), and hit serves all day with that thing.

i'm talkin for club players and juniors who may buy the racquet cos their favourite pro "allegedly" uses it, too demanding for the club players and too heavy for the kids!
