Dunlop Black Widow 17 weight. Is it one of the lightest?

[eb_tennis_247]

Does anyone have a weight measurement for Dunlop Black Widow 17 vs. Lynx Tour 17, Hyper 17 or Confidential 17 or MSV Focus hex 17/17L?

I cannot find any sticky thread on this and search has not helped much.

BW felt very light but did not get chance to measure it. I would like to go with a very light poly to lower the SW while retaining the BW-like properties.

Not all 17g are created equal in terms of diameter. Head calls 17g 1.25mm and Solinco calls 17g 1.20mm. So maybe not necessarily comparing apples to apples by lumping all 17g together since your 1.20mm will likely be lighter (not always the case since square strings have more volume and weight more for a given diameter).

My mistake for rolling in Lynx Tour 17. I meant comparison between true 1.20s.

Wouldn't be surprised if its light, its super crispy and breaks if you knot too hard

I measured tonight BW 17 (1.20) I cut out of the frame and the MSV Focus Hex 17L (1.20) I put into it (total weight of 20g - 3g leftovers and ziptie clip).

Both strings are 17g.

So, for the forum record, the exact weight of the strings as installed of the frame are:

Dunlop Black Widow 17 (1.20) is 17 grams.

MSV Focus Hex Soft 17L (1.20) is 17 grams.

I don’t have many measurements but I play this string and think it swings super light.
