Differences in Pure Drive Roddick and Standard Pure Drive

[colan5934]

I recently hit with a pure drive standard (non-cortex) and loved how easily I got my racquet into position. It was there with no added effort and I hit the ball early if anything, whereas I am usually late or on time with my Volkl DNX Mids. What are the main differences between a Pure Drive Standard w/ Cortex and a Pure Drive Roddick Standard?

Weight. The PDR is about 1/2 ounce heavier. I think it's (very slightly) heavier. IMO, when I tried the two, they felt very similar, just the roddick was heavier, less maneuverable, slightly more controlled, and slightly more spinny.

I find that I get my 2HBH back late and even with my short backswing, the ball tends to get to me before I can get to it, and it feels like the ball is eating me up, did you have anything similar to that with the Roddick compared to the regular?
